It measures only 178x129x330mm, has an accuracy of 0.90mm, and has a color resolution of 1920×1080 pixels for texture-color-texture mapping.
Fifth place, MatterFormV2 3D scanner.
This 3D scanner was designed by MatterForm Canada. With two lasers, the MatterFormV2 allows scanning objects up to a maximum height of 9.8 (25cm) and a diameter of 7 (18cm). With an accuracy of 0.1mm, it is compatible with all 3D printers and can be used by manufacturers for a wide range of applications, from art to design and training.1.Faro method such as FAROfocusx130 and x330
The NASDAQ-listed, major American company is a brand of scanners for a wide range of applications because of the cost-effectiveness, portability and simplicity of its products. The scanning range is short to medium distance. From the 1990s, in the optical scanners generally expensive, Faro has been trying to develop more cost-effective and practical products. In the early days both Faro and Immersion were known for producing 3D equipment based on the principle of a mechanical measuring arm, and the two companies fought over patents, but now FARO has made a name for itself in the 3D scanner market and Immersion has fallen into obscurity. FARO scanners are recognized as being lightweight, convenient, easy to use and cost-effective.
2. Leica LeicaC30/P40
The world's instrument manufacturers, I believe that consumers are aware of his family's cameras. Swiss veterans, high visibility, of course, the price has always been very high. It has a scanning range of short and medium distances. Recognized features are large head, good physical properties (able to fight against bad weather, such as cold and cloudy haze, etc.). It is also said to be resistant to drops relative to other brands, but of course I don't think anyone would be willing to drop this thing.
3. Trimble Trimble
is a global brand in the field of GPS. Founded in 1978, originating in the United States, has been developing GPS technology applications. Its three-dimensional scanner is characterized by powerful GPS-related features, GPS navigation, accurate timing, wireless network synchronization and so on. I sincerely hope that these technologies can be transplanted to Beidou in the future. Scanning range is also short and medium distance. Trimble and FARO company has a cooperative distribution agreement for FARO's equipment to provide its global surveying and building construction distribution network, Trimble is also very happy to use the FARO laser scanner.
4. Z + F
The full name is Zoller + Froehlich, origin Germany, was founded in 1963, to do industrial automation design started the company. 2009 developed the world's explosion-proof performance of the three-dimensional laser scanner (Z + F5006EX) can be used in hazardous environments where there is a threat of explosion, such as chemical plants or coal mines. Its products also have the same characteristics of German products*** for industry, high accuracy, heavy equipment and higher price.
5. Topcon
Japan's oldest company, started as a total station. Its total station varieties, 3d laser, prismless total station. Can be vehicle-mounted, airborne. There is a joint venture in China, developed a coal mine explosion-proof total station. Topcon's 3d scanners are larger and have better physical properties.
6. RIEGL RIEGL
Origin Austria, this brand has up to 30 years of experience in the development of pulsed laser ranging equipment, the founders of the 1970s at the Vienna University of Technology developed its own pulse generator, the core technology is still used in the current RIEGL equipment. The company's specialty is long-range scanners, up to 6 kilometers. To summarize is a very long distance, expensive, high price products on the market are from this brand.
Summary: These six are commonly used in the market brand, in addition to Riegl, the other five brands because the market has a certain degree of overlap, belonging to the relationship between love and death.
Next, I will introduce a few domestic less common brand
