Zeiss Comet 8 Blue Light 3D scanner

A brand-new addition to our 3d scanning & digitizing equipment is the state-of-the-art Comet 8 blue light 3D scanning system. It is a compact 3d sensor with an advanced 8-megapixel scanning camera. Its extreme resolution and accuracy help in scanning extremely small and complicated artifacts with ease. The 8th generation Colin 3D software breezes through the scanning process. The software finalizes the scans into usable STL, OBJ, or other faceted 3d models.

The built-in capability to work with photogrammetry targets makes it a modular measurement system. Large assemblies and even commercial airplanes can be mapped out first with targets and then scanned with full accuracy. The Comet rotary table adds some semi-autonomous functionality to the scanning process. This newest addition to the scanning lineup is a step further in advancing 3d scanning and reverse engineering technology.

Faro Quantum S blue laser line 3D scanner

The new Quantum arm from FARO is a portable CMM, which is a rugged and reliable 3d measurement machine. It is 37% more accurate than other arms, with strict ISO measurement criteria applied towards its certifications. With the attached FaroBlue 3d blue laser line scanner, the scanning speed and accuracy have been greatly improved. This makes it compete with structured light scanners. Highly portable and easy to use, this machine has replaced CMMs all over the world. Its main advantages are in First article inspection and analysis, Gage R&R, gage and fixture certifications, machine alignments, and reverse engineering, among others.

Our Robotics team was in need of 3D printed parts, Applications3D printed a few things that we needed in real high quality. These guys did a good job with printing using SLA resins. We could sand these, and paint over these, no problem.

Great experience working with Raminder on my project. My project was small but required detailed scanning to pick up the features that I needed. I haven't done work like this before so it was important that our communication was clear. Raminder was very patient with me and listened to understand to ensure the results were what I wanted. The work was done quickly and then explained on his monitor so I left with confidence that I had what I wanted. He offered to help with additional questions which I'll probably have based on my experience level. I don't think you can go wrong working with Applications 3D. Good luck with your project!

Applications 3D did an awesome job of 3D scanning and reverse engineering a complex aluminum casting for me. The finished CAD model was high quality, and they made sure that it was done with proper draft angles. They also took care of the parting line surfaces so that the model was easy to manufacture downstream. Thank you so much!
