| NextEngine Desktop 3D Scanner Technical Specifications |
| Architecture |
| Measurement System: |
NextEngine proprietary MultiStripe Laser Triangulation (MLT) technology. Patents Pending. |
| Source: |
Twin arrays of four, Class 1M, 10 mW solid state lasers with custom optics. 650 nm wavelength. |
| Sensor: |
Twin 3.0 Megapixel CMOS RGB image sensors. |
| PhotoSurface: |
Optically synchronous RGB color texture capture for precision-locked geometry correlation. |
| Studio Lighting: |
Built-in spatially diverse whitelight texture illuminators with tri-phosphor, wide color gamut. |
| AutoPositioner™: |
High precision rotary servo positioner, auto-incremented under scanner control. 20 lb capacity. |
| PartGripper™ Fixture: |
Universal part holder to adjust height, angle and orientation of capture. 10 lb capacity. |
| Performance |
| Object Size: |
No preset limit. Objects larger than Field can be composite-captured with supplied software. |
| Field Size: |
5.1” x 3.8” (Macro) and 13.5” x 10.1” (Wide). (“soda can” and “shoebox” sizes respectively). |
| Resolution: |
Point density on target surface is 400 DPI in Macro Mode and 150 DPI in Wide Mode. |
| Dimensional Accuracy: |
±0.005” in Macro Mode and ±0.015” in Wide Mode. |
| Acquisition Speed: |
50,000 processed points/sec throughput. Typically 90 seconds per scan of each facet. |
| Typical Datasets: |
Typical small models are a quarter million points, after oversampling and optimization. |
| Environmental: |
Desktop use under ordinary office lighting. No darkroom or special backgrounds required. |
| Software |
| ScanStudio™: |
Scan control panel with high performance OpenGL 3D viewer. Manages all hardware. |
| SolidWorks Integration: |
Scan right inside SolidWorks (Office Premium 2007). Click to toggle between scanning / design. |
| Native File Format: |
SolidWorks + NextEngine co-developed native format. Zero conversion time or errors. |
| Format Options: |
Scan files can be output as STL, OBJ, VRML and U3D files. (more in future releases) |
| File Size: |
20MB for typical model, based on 10 facet scans. |
| modelling Tools: |
Assemble views into a complete model easily with built-in Smart Alignment and trim tools. |
| General |
| System Requirements: |
Min: 2 GHz PC, 1GB RAM, 128MB Graphics. Recommended: 3 GHz, 2GB, 256MB. WIN XP. |
| Interface: |
USB 2.0 high speed interface. USB cable included. |
| Power: |
100 – 240 VAC built-in worldwide auto-switching power supply. AC cable included. |
| Eye Safe: |
Beam is about 1/1000th brightness of a laser pointer (but avoid looking into beam). |
| Tripod Mount: |
Stainless steel ¼ - 20 thread standard screw mount for tripod setups. |
