3D Scanning

Why P2 Scan is So Special?

Why is P2 Scan so special? For starters, P2 Scan is the first high quality scanner to bridge the gap between functionality and affordability. P2 Scan fully utilizes SolidWorks' amazing Scan to 3D technology allowing you to input you 3D data scans into SolidWorks with amazing ease and simplicity.

Until now most commercially available 3D scanning systems acquire data at relatively low rates and require careful control over the setup and calibration of cameras and/or active light sources. P2 Scan has changed all that.

Additionally, scanners have either been too complex or too expensive. Typical high-quality scanners require a steep learning curve. Besides the high investment of the scanner itself, companies had to look for highly trained personnel to utilize the scanner. Oh, and one other important point, these scanners usually require some intermediary software to make the data useful. Sometimes this software can be as expensive as the scanner itself.

P2 Scan has bridged the gap by providing a scanner that is designed with the typical engineer or technician in mind. P2 Scan provides:

• Ease of use
• Economy
• Immediate payback
• A product that requires little to no training
• A total solution - start to finish
• The ability to port your data to SolidWorks with ease - Designed just for SolidWorks

Available at a SolidWorks dealer near you, P2 Scan is a solution that you can acquire for under $10K. It's functionality matches systems costing as much as 10 times the price. Finally, someone's been listening!

The ZScanner 700 brings needed speed, ease-of-use and unprecedented versatility to 3D Scanning. Scan any object in the tightest spaces and do it in real-time with one continuous scan.

Simply connect the system to your laptop with FireWire™. Add the reflective targets to the object. Then quickly calibrate and start scanning within minutes. The ZScan™ software creates a polygon mesh of the object's surface in real-time — so you can see what has and has not been scanned as you go. Increase the scan resolution on the fly to scan the tightest spaces or most detailed areas.

Conventional scanners require fixed-position tripods, bulky mechanical arms, or external positioning devices that must be within the line of sight of the target surface. So hard-to-reach objects are nearly impossible to scan and extensive post-processing is needed to stitch multiple scans into one.

The ZScanner 700 captures a complete scan all at once — with all the mobility that comes with a handheld device.

Speed

Save time at every step. Plug-and-play set-up has you scanning in minutes. Simply capture the entire object in one continuous scan with no stopping to reposition and recalibrate. And no more stitching together multiple scans in tedious post-processing. The scanner — with included ZScan™ software — automatically produces an .stl file that's ready for output to a 3D printer or the software package of your choice.

Ease-of-Use

This handheld scanner captures virtually any object from any angle, anywhere. The object-based reference coordinate system means parts can even be moved in mid-scan. Real-time surfacing shows progress as you go revealing 'hidden' spots and ensuring a complete scan no matter how hard-to-reach or detailed the object may be.

Versatility

Take this portable, lightweight system anywhere then quickly set it up and start scanning. Accurate and mobile, it's ideal for a broad array of applications including:

Applications

• Reverse Engineering
• Packaging Design
• Ergonomic Design
• Digital Archiving
• Digital Media, Gaming & Animation
• Arts & Cultural Heritage
• Medical Education
• Medical Orthosis
