    Terrestrial laser scanners are considered low risk, but precautions must still be taken. A low power laser beam is used to measure the position of points on an object in 3-dimensions. As time progresses, several readings are taken and a 3-D map of the surface is created. The scanner is manually moved around the object to measure points from many different angles, so that we get a full coverage of the object.
