Looking for Point-to-line-Optics

[Vickal89]

hello

i am looking for Optics or caps, which transform a Laser dot into a Line, like a laser level.

Do you know anyone who sells this?


thank you

Buy a Arctic from Wicked Lasers. You won't need any additional optics.

well, i need a Line-shaped laser, for 3D scanning

In all Seriousness WL does sell a cap that makes a cross, so that You might be able to use that if You can ignore the other line. I think You can get optics to produce a Line from Edmund Optics.

Any cylinder of glass (or plastic) will generate a laser line from a dot. People use wine-glass stems for a non-professional solution.
You could get a (professional) line-generating lens for $3.00 at Aixiz:

Not sure if you need an optic, laser, or both, but here's a line module for $5 shipped coming from US: 650nm 5mW (Red) laser module LINE 3VDC 9mm X 22mm - eBay (item 150437971267 end time Sep-24-10 11:04:34 PDT)

Edit: or if you need a better quality module, including one which can focus, here's one for just over $7, but it comes from China: http://cgi.ebay.com/Industrial-650n...ltDomain_0&hash=item45f4a1683d#ht_5288wt_1137
