3D Scanners / 3D Scanning Software

We Develop 3D Scanning Systems

Many companies are finding that most commercial applications require a custom scanner because more often than not, the "one-size fits all" 3D scanners available off the shelf are too hard to use and do not provide the results they are looking for. This shift in approach is revolutionizing 3D scanning, truly bringing the technology to the masses.

Are you developing a technology that may require a 3D scanner?

Would your existing product benefit from mass customization? You can install a system anywhere!

Does an off the shelf system not fit because:

• It's too expensive?
• You don't want to learn how to process scan data?
• It's too slow?
• It has a long learning curve?
• It's too hard to use?

Call us today and discover how our development process can eliminate these issues!

How Does it all Work?

We specialize in developing 3D scanning products at every phase of the development process, from brainstorming to design criteria and product specs, all the way to design optimization and production (sourcing, manufacturing, assembly, etc). We even assist in commercializing your product and will work with you to develop strategies for distribution and marketing. The benefits are clear:

• Your system is defined by your needs
• Using and manipulating scan data is a thing of the past
• Maximum leverage of the latest metrology technology
• End result of an efficient and effective solution
• Your scanner goes from concept to commercialization using a proven development process

What's the Right Technology For You?

It depends! Though our projects typically focus on machine vision, interferometry, laser projected stereo vision, laser scanning, photogrammetry and 2D/3D image processing, we have experience with all of the following technology:

3D Scanner Information

Owning a 3D scanner enables you to scan parts on-site and on-demand. We have experience with every major system on the market, and can even create custom solutions. As part of our 3D scanning product selection process, we'll consult with you every step of the way to determine the best scanner that fits your needs and budget. Below is a sampling of 3D scanner technology available on the market today that we often provide our clients with.

• 3D Laser Scanners

  3D laser scanning is the most efficient way to capture real-world surface data for reverse engineering and quality inspection. More about 3D Laser Scanners.

• Large Volume Metrology

  Long-range or geosurvey scanners can quickly capture data from large surfaces such as buildings, planes, bridges or whole environments. More about Long Range 3D Scanners.

Scanning Software Information

Choosing the right software is an important decision. We work with many major 3D scanning, quality inspection, and reverse engineering software packages on a daily basis and consult with no hidden agenda. As part of our product selection process, we leverage our expertise to help you pick the right software that fits your engineering needs. Below is a sampling of related software available on the market today that we often provide our clients with.

• 3D Scanning Software

  Easily control your new scanner, manipulate scan data and create watertight polymesh models with easy to learn 3D Scanning Software from one of our partners.

• Reverse Engineering Software

  Automatically create a shrinkwrap model or manually surface to capture design intent. Create full CAD models directly from scan data using Reverse Engineering Software.

• Quality Inspection Software

  Data obtained by 3D laser scanning is ideal for detecting warpage and other defects which are viewed with user-friendly HTML reports generated by Quality Inspection Software.

• Other Software

  These unique software packages just don't fit into the above categories. Blade analysis and viewer software are examples of Other Software.
