Date Announced: 23 Jul 2016
“LASER SCANNERS” hit the #1 best-seller list within days of release on Kindle, then 3 weeks later the paperback edition did the same.
With the books surprising and fast rise to the top of the charts, “LASER SCANNERS” is already being considered as a laser industry classic.
When asked about the success, author and developer William Benner responded, “I am blown away. First, I am thankful for a very loyal following that started buying the book as soon as it was ready. Second, this is the only book I know of that covers all types of laser scanners, and has in-depth chapters on galvo scanners and information about product creation. I’ve received a flood of emails, letters and social media posts from people around the world, thanking me for sharing this information and helping people to understand how laser scanners work, and how they can be applied to make new products. I couldn’t be more trilled.”
“LASER SCANNERS” leverages Benner’s experience as a long-time consultant to galvanometer-based laser scanner manufacturers around the world, as well as founder of ScannerMAX – a new company formed to manufacture and license three brand new types of galvo scanners.
When asking why William Benner wrote the book, he said “My goal in writing this book is simple. The topic of laser scanners isn’t being taught in most universities and technical schools. Because of this, relatively few people know about them. Likewise, product creation in general is also not taught. This book covers both! Once people read and grasp the concepts presented, I am hoping to see more great products being developed that use these unique and powerful devices.”
“LASER SCANNERS” by William Benner is available through Amazon in paperback for $49.97, and in Kindle format for only 99 cents. More information can be found on a special website setup for the book: www.LaserScanningBook.com
