Additional equipment:
The EVA scanner is a structured light 3D scanner ideal for making a quick, textured and accurate digital 3D model of medium and large objects.
Specifications:
High resolution 3D blue light handheld scanner. Captures geometry and texture of objects with high precision. Artec Spider is generally recommended for smaller size objects with intricate details.
Specifications:
Tripod mounted 3D structured light scanner capable of creating full digital 3D models, including textures. The Polyga Carbon main features are dual 3MP cameras and flexible field of view for varying object sizes.
Specifications:
The VIVID 910 3D scanner employs laser-beam light sectioning technology to scan objects. Light reflected from the object is acquired by a CCD camera, and 3D data is then created by triangulation to determine distance information.
Specifications:
The Fusion3 F410 printer has a large print chamber and is compatible with different types of filaments, such as PLA, ABS, ASA or PETG.
Specifications:
ProJet MJP 2500 3D printer for precision rigid and elastomeric parts with true-to-CAD accuracy, quality surface finish and edge fidelity for functional testing. Compatible with materials in rigid white, black, clear, clear grey, and flexible elastomeric black and elastomeric natural with elongation and full elastic recovery. Photograph for reference only.
Specifications:
Ultra-high-definition pen display with multi-touch capabilities. It is useful for image segmentation, graphics and 3D modelling.
Specifications:
Single-lens reflex digital camera (Nikon D5600). The camera kit includes a set of tripods of different sizes.
Specifications:
Portable foldable photo shooting light box with LED lightning that ensures even light distribution for professional imagery.
The MicroScribe G2X is a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) which uses a contact-based 3D scanning technology. It captures the physical properties of three-dimensional objects and translates them into complete 3D models, but it is not able to collect texture data. It is equipped with a mechanical arm which allows to perform accurate metrology operations.
Specifications:
90 Litre Lab Incubator, max. temp 100°C. Chamber dimension: 46cm (d) x 48cm (w) x 41cm (h).
The Artec Micro scanner is a professional-grade fully-automated 3D scanner designed for high-precision scanning the intricate details of small objects. The scanner uses structured light technology to capture detailed 3D images of objects, creating highly accurate digital representations. It is typically used in industries such as manufacturing, quality control, and reverse engineering.
