According to HEXAGON, VTube-LASER can support any scanner supported by RDS directly, including...

This scanner is for the RA8 7-axis arms only. It is very good for parts that are highly reflective or change reflectivity on different parts of the surface. The SHINE technology takes three different exposures of each laser stripe in order to properly take in data from surfaces that have different reflectivity along the stripe.
This is for RA8 7-axis Portable Arms. It is best for parts that have consistent surface reflectivity properties along the entire part because the camera chooses a single exposure for each stripe.
