SOL Desktop Laser 3D Scanner

The SOL 3D scanner provides an affordable, easy-to-use solution for creating digital copies of real-world objects. It uses a combination of laser triangulation and white light technology. This hybrid approach provides a maximum resolution of 0.1 mm. You can also choose between near and far scanning modes. The SOL features an automatic turntable, making the 3D scanning process automated. The rotating table is able to support a maximum weight of 2 kg.

The scanner was developed and is marketed by Scan Dimension, a subsidiary of Global Scanning A/S Group of Denmark. The SOL 3D scanner is relatively small and lightweight, and via its software, notifies users of next steps with sound notifications or text messages. 3D scans can be viewed directly through the SOL software.

SCAN-TO-PRINT

Reproducing an object can be time-consuming, tedious, and error-prone. The SOL 3D scanner and software allows you to easily create a replica of objects using six simple steps:

Scan the object using the SOL 3D scanner with included software.
Review your scan in the SOL Viewer.
Export in one of the supported formats: OBJ, STL, XYZ, DAE, and PLY files.
Import your scan into your slicer software (such as Slic3r, Simplify3D, and Cura) for evaluation and any clean-up required.
Resize or transform your scan as desired.
Print, save, or export to have someone else print it.

SCAN-TO-MODEL

Creating an accurate 3D model of a complex object can be difficult. The SOL 3D scanner helps jump-start your modeling by giving you accurately sized replica objects. Then, these can then be incorporate into your project, or used as a reference object in your 3D modeling software. A typical workflow to accelerate your modeling process is:

Scan the object using the SOL 3D scanner with included software.
Review your scan in the SOL Viewer.
Export in one of the supported formats: OBJ, STL, XYZ, DAE, and PLY files.
Import your scan into your modeling software.
Incorporate your scan into your model or project, or use it as a reference as you build something new.

SCAN-TO-SHARE

In the past, sharing a 3D representation of something has been challenging. The SOL 3D scanner and software make this easy, especially with the free cloud storage space provided when you purchase a scanner. To share your scans, simply:

Scan the object using the SOL 3D scanner with included software.
Review your scan in the SOL Viewer.
Upload to P3D.in: Every SOL customer receives sufficient free cloud storage for approximately 30 scans to be uploaded and shared. Simply click on the P3D icon in the viewer toolbar, and we’ll handle the rest.
Share from P3D via Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or via a link that you can embed in your blog, in a storefront, or anyplace else that supports modern html standards.

SOL can help a variety of users achieve their goals with regard to 3D scanning.

Makers – Passionate artisans, designers, and craftsmen take advantage of the simple to use, highly accurate SOL 3D scanner and software to take their creations to the next level. Easily scan and scale an object up or down, reproduce it in a different material, or jump-start your modeling process.
Hobbyists – Artists interested in changing the material or medium of their creations, or to resize them easily will be delighted by the SOL 3D scanner. Move your physical creations into the 3D digital world to easily reproduce, share, or sell them.
Educators – Teachers, librarians, mentors and students can turn STEM/STEAM classrooms and maker spaces into 3D discovery labs. SOL brings accurate, affordable 3D scanning to the education market. 3D models can be modified, shared, printed, or used as a starting point for learning.
Entrepreneurs – Show off your product or creations with a 360° view! The easy-to-use SOL 3D scanner enables you to quickly share and embed your 3D scans in your online store, Facebook, Twitter, and more using a state-of-the-art, interactive 3D viewer. This powerful technology will attract customers and sell your wares.

The Scan Dimension engineering team focused on developing an incredibly easy-to-use scanner. To start a scan, users simply place an object on a turntable, cover it with the included tent, and press a button — the laser, camera, and software do the rest.
