We purchased the 3DD Corp Escan 3D Scanner from a reseller. We did not have too much trouble in setting it up and getting our first scans. During this first year, we were very satisfied with just scanning an object, and viewing the drawing. We gave each of our 30 students a chance to scan something. Some scanned another student’s face. At this stage, the excitement seemed to be limited to this fascination. They did learn a great deal about 3 dimensional space and how to represent that in CAD Drawing system. We wanted to teach more.

We chose to continue the development of the learning experience with the scanner. We set a goal to expect that a quality scan of an object could be used to manufacture something. We wanted to make the scan into an appropriate drawing, convert and use that drawing in creating a set of CNC steps.

We attempted to contact the original reseller to help us to select software that help us with our teaching goals. Time had passed and we no longer had support. They offered to sell us a maintenance and support contract.

So we contacted the people at the 3D Digital Corp. The met us with enthusiastic support at no cost. First, they recommended affordable software that can convert the scans to create the surface models that we needed for our CNC machine. They helped us in improving our scans, to make it more useful. They provided us with a Webinar to teach us more about how to use the scanner better and the software to make all of the conversions.

We are now teaching a more soup to nuts course in Reverse Engineering at the high school level. Our first class contained 25 eager students. We can teach our students to use their imagination. They can develop a concept from an existing 3D object and scan it. They can modify those drawings to fit their new idea. These drawings can be converted for use in our CNC milling machines and create that product idea into reality.

Students also learned more about a manufacturing process that involves tolerances and manufacturing quality. This kind of teaching provides more than a theory of manufacturing, but a real working environment that is exciting to a student.

3D Digital Corp has opened a new office in Hong Kong in association with one of its long time partners.  The new division is known as 3DD Corp (HK). This new office will greatly enhance 3D Digital Corp’s position throughout Asia with closer support and a less complicated acquisition process by having this Hong Kong division. A local service center will also become possible.

Globally, the new developing countries, including China, are becoming a more significant economic influence to the worldwide market.

Nevertheless, this entry into the market must develop a future by using the most advanced technologies.

3D scanners are sold mainly for the educational as well as for marketing purposes for these enterprises.

With a large number of scanners that are now based in Asia, we can better provide better support and maintenance of those and future scanners.

Problems:

1. The number of designs that require a 3D Scanner is still a very low number.
2. The use of the standalone scanner is not difficult, but the solution is complex.

The new 3DD Corp partnership in Hong Kong will be responsible for general marketing, aimed at driving the distribution channels and distributors in this market.

Our new headquarters is located in Hong Kong with the advantage of free trade zone with plans for additional offices and staff in the two main industrial zones Guangdong and Shanghai.

Both Escans will take advantage of a newer and faster USB circuitry, more on-board memory and faster processor. The new design will work faster with USB ports. Upgrades to the RealScan software will take advantage of this new speed and memory. It will also have full compatibility with the Windows 7 64-bit Operating system platform as well as many of the older Windows versions. So now, users will be able to run RealScan and their new Escan on faster computers.

3D Digital Corp has the experience and know-how to create a world-class 3D Scanner. The new product line will be shipping to customers world-wide in the coming weeks.

Escan comes in two configurations with 1 MP sensor. The standard configuration, while it appears similar in appearance to the first generation product. It can be ordered at the same price as the previous model, but is available as the Standard Base and Extended Base models. The Extended Base model performs well for larger objects, so it exists with an extended range. The Extended base and the standard version is shown in the photo below.

The Enhanced Escan model is designed with a higher resolution 2 MP sensor, higher quality lower distortion lens and also low speckle laser. An Enhanced Escan will also be available for both Standard Base and Extended base.  It is designed to provide more robust reverse engineering models with out breaking the bank.

Dentists have been using 3D scanners in the medical field for some time. Now 3D scanners are being used more frequently and for various other uses. We offer many different product options and our products come with 3D software that allows for easy upload of the scan(s) and quick and easy analyzing.

Using 3D scanners in the medical field is enhancing the medical teams ability to improve wound care and diagnosis’ to assist in pinpoint accuracy. Our products are extremely accurate and are within microns of accuracy. We provide the critical and detailed information that the medical team needs.

Medical Usage for 3D Scanners Are Vast

In addition to accuracy, our scanner is the only in the world that uses a green laser which provides better accuracy and much less noise. Using 3D scanners in the medical field also provides the opportunity for Orthosis/Prosthesis fitting as well as Aesthetics Prosthesis. When using for Orthosis/Prosthesis Fitting, we provide the scans for custom and comfortable manufacturing and best of all, no plaster is involved. No plaster means that there will not be a need for a cast to store as all 3D scans are saved and archived.

When using 3D scanners in the medical field, the possibilities are endless. Aesthetics Prosthesis has allowed for 3D scanning of a sane body part, “mirrored files” (which is the creation of a prosthesis) and also breast implants.

Along with our vast and various uses, we also assist in the development of accessories and customization so that the 3D scanner is used at its full potential. We have developed rollers, robot arms and more to assist our clients in their various industries to ensure that their 3D scanners ability is fully optimized.
