First Claim
Patent Images
1. A tip for a 3D scanner, wherein the tip comprises:
- a tip framework, where a first part of the tip framework comprises a first material and a second part of the tip framework comprises a second material, where the first material forms a portion of an outer surface of the tip, where the second material, or an optional coating thereon, forms a portion of the outer surface of the top, and where the ratio between the thermal conductivity of the second material and the thermal conductivity of the first material is 5 or more; and
an optical element arranged at the second part of the tip framework in thermal contact with the second material.

Abstract
Disclosed is a tip for an optical scanner, where said tip comprises a framework and an optical element. For some configurations the optical element is releasable attaching to the framework by a holding means of the tip. For some configurations the tip framework is formed in two materials of different thermal conductivities.
