This week, Polyga is introducing something new, and just announced the official release of its new HDI Compact 3D scanners. The powerful turnkey 3D scanning systems, featuring a solid aluminum body, all weigh in at less than 2 kg. The portable systems may be petite – if not nearly as small as some other compact 3D scanners we’ve seen – but they are mighty, combining the convenience of consumer 3D scanners with the high-quality results that professional systems offer.
Thomas Tong, the President of Polyga, said, “We found there is a strong demand for a solution that has the ease of use of a consumer-grade 3D scanner but the output of a professional 3D scanning system—in terms of capturing high resolution 3D scans at sub-micron accuracy. The HDI Compact 3D scanners cover all these bases. They are plug and play systems, ready to use right out of the box within minutes of setup. Install the included proprietary 3D scanning software, FlexScan3D, to your computer and you are ready for scanning.”
Users can automate the 3D scanning workflow when using one of the HDI Compact systems in conjunction with a rotary turntable, which makes it even easier to create digital 3D models from object scans; you can even link multiple scanners together with a computer to reduce the scan time and create larger fields of view.
The series, which was designed for quick integration into other systems, offers three different model sizes: the 49 x 100 x 155 mm HDI C109, which is perfect for scanning dental molds and other small parts; the HDI C210, with dimensions of 49 x 146 x 190 mm and twice the detail of the C109; and the HDI C506, measuring 49 x 136 x 170 mm and equipped to scan very small parts in high resolution and accuracy. Each model features either a 1, 2, or 5 megapixel dual camera system for different scanning volumes.
Polyga’s HDI Compact 3D scanners are easy to use – just plug the scanner in, install the included FlexScan3D software, and go. During the capturing stage, the software processes the scan data, using built-in aligning, hole filling, and merging capabilities, so you can easily turn your 3D scans into digital 3D models for applications like quality inspection, reverse engineering, and 3D visualization.
The HDI Compact 3D scanners, which can also be easily embedded into devices and would work well as standalone desktop 3D scanners, are now available for purchase.
