RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY



3D Scanning in the Commercial Market

3D Scanning in the Scientific and Industrial MarketsFastSCAN™ goes everywhere you go! This unique, portable, 3D laser scanning system instantly acquires data and digitally renders in real-time. Free-form scanning provides the ability to freely move the lightweight handheld scanning wand around the object without being tethered to a mechanical arm.

FastSCAN has been taken on archaeological digs around the world, has been used to scan large statues in Italy, ornate woodworking pieces, and maquettes for part of the animation process. FastSCAN has been viewed and continues to be in television on the Discovery channel and in shows such CSI:NY.

Easy as Spray Painting... 3D scanning used to require an engineering degree. Not with FastSCAN. In a matter of minutes a scan file can be created, edited, and ready for export to a variety of 3D modeling applications.
