The unique Scorpion 3D Stinger Robot Vision Technology.

The  Scorpion Compact Vision system connected to a Scorpion 3D Stinger MLaser Camera that creates an accurate 3D model of the cake top surface in real-time.  Based on the 3D model the “Happy Birthday” deposit is accurately projected onto the top surface.

The technology can also be used on moving objects.  Read more about the Scorpion 3D Stinger Technology.
