REAL-VIEW 3-D DESKTOP SCANNER

Real-view has introduced a 3D Scanner which it claims to be the first desktop scanner that can scan and capture objects in a complete 360 degree view. Instead of uploading multiple images for viewing an object from different angles, as done with a 2D scanner, a 3D Desktop scanner can scan and paste a single 3 dimensional view of an object that can be viewed from any position with just a click of your mouse. This image can be uploaded into applications like Adobe Acrobat PDF files or any web page.

Though three dimensional printers are gaining some popularity in the consumer markets, they are rare and a 3D scanner is much more hard to find and are exorbitantly priced, in the realm of tens of thousands of dollars. Now for the first time, Real-view has derived the 3D image capture technology which has been so far used in medical cameras, to come up with an affordable commercial 3D scanner.Though the size of the object that can be scanned is limited to whatever that will fit on its base, it is a big leap in the scanning technology.

There are three models of the Real-View 3-D Desktop Scanner that includes

The Real-View 360 3D, that scans in 360-degree VGA resolution;

The Real-View 360 3D HD, that scans in HD resolution;

The Real-View 360 3D Commercial, designed for larger format and kiosk applications.
