The Most Capable 3D Scanner Ever Made.
Scan a wide range of object sizes and capture any color with metrology-level accuracy. Introducing: THREEâ„¢
With an astonishing range of capabilities and features that don't exist elsewhere, THREE will be an essential part of user's workflow.
Scan anything, from a real car engine to a toy car miniature. THREE's flexible system means users only need one device for a wide range of projects.
THREE's unique ChromaSpec™ technology uses the full spectrum of visible light to perfectly capture geometry from objects of any color.
THREE is the world's first 3D scanner with fully onboard software that runs in any modern web browser and on any operating system. Use THREE with a computer, tablet or iPad.
THREE has a full API for programmers with ready-to-go open source projects.
THREE features a built-in CPU and GPU, 13MP Sony optical sensors, a state of the art DLP projector, and WIFI/ethernet connectivity. With extensive research and development, we created software that fully exploits the hardware to capture and intelligently process 37 micron resolution scans in about 20 seconds.
Other scanners require a massively powerful and expensive computer. Your THREE works with practically any computer, tablet or chromebook. Other scanners require you to hold them steady, at just the right place to avoid losing tracking, while watching a computer screen to see if it’s actually working. THREE features automatic and user-directed scan alignment. Using your included tripod, simply point the scanner at what you want to capture. The software will automatically align your scans on completion.
Our development team built the software from the ground up. It’s beautiful, simple, powerful, and incredibly efficient with an on board CPU and GPU. Accessing your THREE is done through your web browser, so any modern device can run it.
Capture time: 4 seconds.
Processing time: 10 seconds.
Projector frame rate: 60 fps.
Scan object distance to camera: 220 mm to 700 mm (8.66 inches to 27.56 inches).
Resolution: 37 microns @ 220 mm, 65 microns @ 400 mm, 114 microns @ 700mm.
Z-accuracy: 33 microns @ 220 mm, 150 microns @ 400 mm, 400 microns @ 700 mm.
Minimum capturable feature size: 0.2 mm (0.0078 in).
Maximum capturable object size: theoretically unlimited, but practically limited to 16 GB storage space.
Contrary to popular belief, blue light doesn’t automagically deliver higher-quality scans. Blue light scanners struggle to capture certain colors, so scanning spray is almost always required. THREE’s breakthrough ChromaSpec algorithm uses the full color spectrum to detect and process different-colored areas of the object. With THREE, most of the time you won’t need to worry about scan sprays. Instead of messing around, trying to get the settings just right, THREE lets you quickly get the scan you need, and keep your project moving forward.
THREE is the easiest 3D scanner you’ll ever use, with built-in software that lets you quickly set up and capture the scan you need. But it can do more as well. It has a full API and on-board processing, so if you want to get into some really cool vision system hacking, it’s ready to go. A Github repository of example projects will be available that you can run and modify. No other 3D scanner has this ability.
