Rotary Table

3D Digital Corp. introduced the new Rotary Table solution to the market in January 2005. The company has been the innovative leader in the manufacture of lightweight, USB 3D laser scanners that are affordable and easy to use. Upon new development for automatic scanning, the company has added a new additional option to the scanner. With the torque of 50 lbs/inch the table is capable of scanning different size objects. The table could be used for many different applications such as dental, ear mold, rocks, and tool & die. The current table pictured here is used for dental applications, providing more efficient scanning. By simply rotating the teeth around to a full 360° the user is able to captures a full 3D detailed model. A great feature that is offered with the rotary table is the ability for users to save the path of the scans so it may be used for auto-scanning.

Features:

 

Once the rotary table is calibrated and the axis of rotation is identified, the user may proceed with scanning. All the shells are aligned automatically. The user can see the registration occurring in the software with different colors (to distinguish every scan).

Once all the scans are finished, the shells go through automated processing in the software (This software handles the final registration, smoothing, thinning, merging, etc.) The final 3D model is then produced. Please click here to find out more details about SLIM.

 

Scanning Modes:

There are two modes used in the scanner: normal speed and high speed. The average time for high speed is between 3 to 8 seconds. The user may use either modes depending on the application and the resolution desired.

Once the model is finished you can view it in Crosses, STL or Point Cloud view for comparison purposes.
