Abstract
A scanning apparatus for controlling tool equipment used in production of implants, including a sensing device for sensing a contour of a model to obtain a selected representation based on the sensed contour, processing and controlling devices for receiving and processing the representation signals and for generating a signal array used for controlling of the tool and for controlling the sensing device so that the selected representation signals will ensure generation of the signal array allowing a high degree of accuracy in performance of the controlled tool equipment, wherein the sensing device includes a first device which is interactable with the contour and which displays, at its part interactable with the contour, a first form which substantially corresponds to a second form of a second device included in the tool equipment, with the first and second forms being substantially spherical.
