Yes, you're right, this is extremely low resolution, compared to commercial scanners. This is mostly the result of using a point-by-point scanner. One thing I have on my plate is exchanging that for a field-of-view scanner (probably a Livox Mid-40).

One interesting feature of the current setup is the ability to "zoom in" on details. With the microstepping mode of the stepper motors, one can take 2/4/8 times as dense measurements of an area if necessary. The limiting factor here is time. A single scan takes around 40 minutes with the current resolution (1800*300).

You could half it with a double header (one forward, one backward scanning at the same time)

quart it with a quadruple header!
