ScanBuddy Pro packages mechanical CAD, electronics, calibration routines, automation software, and compliance guidance into a single workspace. The goal is to make laser triangulation scanning accessible without sacrificing metrology-grade accuracy.

• 🔴 Laser Triangulation Engine with < 0.5 mm plane error
• 🤖 AI Noise Reduction for clean point clouds
• 🔄 360° Automated Turntable and batch queueing
• 🧠 Calibration Wizard with repeatability scoring
• 📤 Multi-format Export: STL, OBJ, PLY, GLB presets
• 🔌 Plugin Architecture supporting Python and C++ extensions
• 🛡️ Security & Safety Guidance covering Class II laser compliance
