3D Scaning

A 3D scanner is a device that analyzes a real-world object or environment to collect data on its shape and possibly its appearance. The collected data can then be used to construct digital, three dimensional models useful for a wide variety of applications and for 3D printing.

The Z Scanners 700 and 800 make 3D digitizing faster and easier. Zscanners don’t need any granite table, tripod or rotary table. Because of multiple resolution modes you can scan small parts with good detail or large objects like cars or yachts. Resolution can be changed globally or locally on-the-fly.

Accurate and mobile, these scanners are ideal for abroad array of applications including product design, digital archiving, animation, packaging, medical orthosis and education. Also It’s easy to scan hand-crafted samples to produce complex designs from scratch and incorporate unique shapes into design and engineering or to bring the scanner to immovable objects.

How 3D scanning works
The binocular cameras see the part, and the pattern of targets attached to the part. These stickers make a unique pattern on the part that the computer will use as a reference frame, attached to part means not sensitive to movement. Dots are applied to Part in RANDOM pattern. High-speed CCD cameras track points and use proprietary triangulation to determine part orientation in real-time. Second portion of Capture is measurement. Laser measure part at 18,000 frames per second. Laser is Class II that means that in eye safe. Data Capture is completed with the Z Scan Software. Software takes dimensional data and overlays it with the reference frame to create file. ZScan™ software automatically produces an .stl file for import into a 3D CAD software package or output to a 3D printer.
