3D3 Solutions Features the Next Generation of Affordable 3D Scanning Systems at RAPID Prototyping & Manufacturing Exposition, May 18-20, 2010

VANCOUVER, BC – February 22, 2010 – 3D3 Solutions, a cutting edge developer of 3D scanning technologies, will showcase the next generation of its High Definition Imaging (HDI) 3D Scanner and FlexScan3D Development Kit at RAPID 2010 in Anaheim.

"The best way to improve a product is to listen to your customers," said Thomas Tong, President of 3D3 Solutions. "Hence our white light scanning systems have added features and enhancements that increase the efficiency of the 3D scanning process and the quality of the captured data."

3D3 Solutions'’ standard 3D scanning solution is the HDI 3D Scanner. Some of the new features include:

  • New Split Scan mode: Ideal for face scanning, the new mode captures more data by scanning two sides of an object simultaneously and automatically merges the coverage area for complete scanning results.


  • Fast scanning speed with high resolution results: A single scan produces up to 2.5 million points (5 million polygons) in 1 to 6 seconds. Fast scan times reduces the opportunity that live subjects will move during the scanning process.

  • Supports automated 360° scanning with the rotary table system (sold separately): Instead of manually aligning and merging multiple scans of an object together, the rotary table supports automated 360° scanning and automatically aligns and merges the scans to form a complete model.

Seeing the need for a low-cost alternative to building custom 3D scanners for industry applications, 3D3 Solutions developed the FlexScan3D Development Kit for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). Users can build a custom 3D scanner with the different cameras and lenses included in the kit. Over time if users have another project that has drastically different scanning requirements, they can take apart their existing 3D scanner to create a new system at no additional cost.

The 3D scanning systems offered by 3D3 Solutions are a fraction of the cost of comparable 3D scanners while achieving equivalent precision and data quality. For more information on pricing and technical specifications, please visit www.3d3solutions.com.
