Hardware Specifications

A Personal Computer is required to run our 3D scanning system software. The capturing unit will be connected to the computer using USB cables.

Minimum Requirements:

  • Windows XP, Vista, Windows7 32bit/64bit with a 3D capable video card
  • 2.0 GHz Intel Pentium IV or AMD Athlon XP or equivalent
  • 1 GB RAM (2 GB RAM Recommended)
  • DirectX 9.0c compatible 64 MB video card (256 MB recommended)
  • Will not work on Netbooks
Supported Cameras

We recommend using quality machine vision cameras for geometry capture. DSLR cameras are recommended for texture capture.

Machine Vision Cameras

IDS - All uEye Models
The Imaging Source - All Models (FireWire, GigE models work but are untested)
Prosilica - Most GigE models
Generic - DirectShow Filter Driver
Generic - WIA Driver

Digital SLR Cameras

Please check your camera using the generic driver in the 3D scanning software. It typically supports the following models:

  • Most Canon or Nikon SLR cameras
  • Point and Shoot Cameras with a WIA Driver

While point-and-shoot cameras will work, the capture speed and image quality will hinder your ability to get high-quality scans. We recommend using a Nikon or Canon SLR to capture good 3D scans. Images sizes larger than 10MP are not recommended as most PC’s do not have enough memory to process the dataset.
