Exact Metrology Introduces Artec3D Scanners

By DE Editors

Exact Metrology,  Inc. has added the Artec3D Scanner to its metrology product offering. Artec3D Scanners require no mounts or markers. They are suite to a variety of applications including computer graphics and animation, medical imaging,  archival, and prototyping.

Complete systems including hardware, software, and training start at less than $15,000.  

The Artec3D Scanners work like a regular video camera, but instead of a two-dimensional image, the result is a three-dimensional image captured at speeds of up to 15 surfaces per second. A user walks around the object and scan it from various angles while the software combines all the scanned images into one. The scanners are equipped with wide-field-of-view 3D and mega-pixel 2D sensors, and the technology allows capture of both shape and surface texture of objects in a snap-shot or video mode.
