According to the company, the machine is equipped with twin cameras and blue LED lights that are synchronized with the scanner’s dual-axis rotation system to create an accurate digital copy using minimal frames. The fully automated, industrial scanner creates a high-resolution color 3D scan that is said to offer an extremely high point accuracy of up to 10 microns (0.004"), a tenth the size of a single grain of table salt. It offers a resolution of .029 mm (0.0011") with a 6.4 MP camera to capture texture data.
