Abstract:
A laser projector assembly for projecting a template onto an object is provided. The laser projector assembly includes a frame, a laser source for generating a laser beam being affixed to said frame, a sensor assembly, a lens assembly and a galvanometer assembly. The sensor assembly is affixed to said frame for identifying surface locations of three dimensional objects. The lens assembly includes a tunable lens for changing a focus of the laser beam received from said laser source. The galvanometer assembly redirects the laser beam received from said lens assembly along a scanning path. The lens is disposed in a fixed location relative to said sensor assembly and is tunable in response to the surface locations of the three dimensional objects identified along the scanning path of the laser beam by said sensor assembly.
