I made a video explaining the design of the new laser module with PCB motor

AMSystems (the company sponsored and powered by the dutch state) released an interesting video. It shows a simulation of the plurality version of the laser prism scanner from 2013. The design was made when I worked there. I think it is made in Siemens NX. Hackaday might like this now they are a Siemens company.
It is a nice render and would be even cooler if it actually worked.. I think they target a price of 60K euro's per module. I hope they also come up with a new working design.

If you are looking to shrink it further then your best bet is to replace the laser module with a PCB mounted laser diode and then integrate the laser driver into the PCB design.  I think this could easily cut the height of the module in half.
