SOL is an easy-to-use 3D scanner for the everyday maker, technology enthusiast, and hobbyist. It is an accurate, portable, and affordable 3D scanner that creates detailed, precise 3D models of scanned objects.
The SOL viewer application allows users to export and share the model in many standard formats. Graham Tinn, CEO of Global Scanning A/S, parent company of Scan Dimension said, ‘We created the SOL scanner to make 3D scanning approachable for everyone. Before, creating 3D models was challenging if an individual was not skilled in complex 3D modelling software. SOL empowers anyone to unleash their creativity and explore the infinite possibilities of 3D technology actualisation.’
SOL eliminates three important hurdles to 3D scanning: complex calibration, time-consuming software manipulation and manual mesh alignment. 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.
SOL notifies users of the next steps with sounds or text messages. SOL features near and far-mode scanning, and supports the following dimensions and maximum weight:
• For near-mode scanning, an object up to 100mm in diameter and 100mm tall (3.9 by 3.9 inches).
• For far-mode scanning, an object up to 170mm in diameter and 170mm tall (6.69 by 6.69 inches).
• Maximum scannable weight is 2kg (4.4 lbs. or 70.5 ounces).
SOL requires PC Windows 10 or Mac OS X 10.13 (High Sierra). Hardware requirements include a 64-bit processor with dual core RAM, 5 GB hard disk space or higher, OpenGL 3.3+ compatible graphics card, 1024 x 768 pixel display or higher and 2 available USB 2.0 ports.
