SolidScan

Why SolidScan is So Special?

Why is SolidScan so special? For starters, SolidScan is the first high quality scanner to bridge the gap between functionality and affordability. SolidScan 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. SolidScan 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.

SolidScan has bridged the gap by providing a scanner that is designed with the typical engineer or technician in mind. SolidScan 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, SolidScan 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!
