January Special Focus Issue: Design for Additive
In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, learn about the latest advancements in design for additive manufacturing, including new software tools, additive in automotive, custom medical devices, and more.
Polyga, a developer of professional 3D scanning and mesh processing technologies, has expanded the HDI Compact series of 3D scanners by introducing two new models. With these additions, the HDI Compact line now offers a wider spectrum of 3D scanners for digitizing both larger and smaller objects into 3D models.
The new 3D scanners include:
HDI Compact L6 for digitizing large objects
HDI Compact C504 macro 3D scanner for scanning extremely small objects
The new 3D scanners provide more options in approaching scanning challenges, big or small. Out of any other HDI Compact 3D scanners in the series, the L6 delivers the biggest field of view of approximately half a meter (19.6”). Users can now scan big parts with high accuracy of up to 50 microns. At the opposite end of the spectrum, the C504 has a 1.5 cm (0.59”) field of view for 3D scanning very small objects with accuracy.
“During rigorous testing, we used the HDI Compact C504 to scan a part as small as 1 cm in length and captured 3D scans with remarkable accuracy at just 6 microns,” says Thomas Tong, president of Polyga Inc. “The macro 3D scanner works similar to a point and shoot for 3D scanning tiny objects. It can even capture minute details of an object difficult to see with the naked eye. This is quite an achievement for us.”
Similar to all the other HDI Compact systems, the latest models are fully enclosed and factory calibrated to make scanning easy. With rugged exterior body while being lightweight, the HDI Compact 3D scanners deliver 3D scans with measurement repeatability.
The HDI Compact L6 and C504 3D scanning systems are available for purchase. The 3D scanners come with 3D scanning software, FlexScan3D, that includes a full suite of tools for 3D capturing, advanced post-processing of scans into a full 3D model, and quality inspection analysis.
