The size of the object depends on the camera and projector configuration, as well as on the calibration pattern being used.
Using a 10mm calibration pattern you can scan objects as small as 3
inches and as large as 12 inches, the scanning window is 320mm.
Using a 20mm calibration pattern you get a 640mm scanning window, which
means you can scan objects that fit within that window. You can
scan large objects using either grid pattern and stitch the scans into
a full 260 degree model.

Scan time depends on lighting conditions/settings and the type of camera you use.
A single scan completes in less than 30 seconds. The time required to scan a full object depends on the size of the object and the number of scans required for that object.
Scanning using a video camera can be a fast as 3-5 seconds. Video camera support will be announced at a later date.Accuracy will depend on certain factors including, camera and projector
type, lighting and other factors as with any 3D scanner.
Using a 10mm calibration pattern, with a Hitachi 1024x768 projector,
and a Nikon D50 with a 18-50mm A/F lens, you can obtain accuracies of
up to +/- 0.001" or 0.025mm

We have made every attempt to show the scan data and the triangulated
model in their raw state on the website. Where indicated, the
data has been edited or cleaned with rapidform2006 or rapidformXO Scan. The
scan data samples included with the Demo version of the software are
un-edited and are in their raw state.

3D3 Solutions has made a industry changing decision to not focus on
bulding a hardware solution. By allowing users to mix and match
camera and projector configurations, the company is able focus on it's
core expertise which is software
development thereby reducing the cost of the
overall solution.

Yes. Users who do not have an SLR camera, can use a digital point-and-shoot camera to do
scanning. The difference will be that the photos will have to be
taken manually and then manually copied to the appropriate scan
folder. Each scan uses 17 photos plus 1 photo for use as texture.

The way most scanning works is that an object is scanned in sections (i.e. every 45 degrees) and then the scans are aligned, merged and triangulated in a scan data processing software.
Currently, FlexScan3D is bundled with GSI Mesh
Studio or Leios Mesh to enable users to quickly align, merge,
triangulate and optimize scan data to create a watertight mesh.

The projector distance to the object will depend on your projector specifications and can vary from 1 foot to 4 feet. The camera distance to the object can vary depending on your lens, and can be as close as 7 inches to several yards.
What is the scanner's capture range
Back to top
Most shiny or translucent objects will create
noise (bounceback) in your scans. It is best to coat an object
with a white spray or coating. Many users use welders crack spray
(Magnaflux) and others use Dr. Scholl's Foot Powder Spray
