Welcome to the February edition of 3D3 Solutions E-Newsletter. We would like to start the year with some exciting news.

Sneak Preview of Upcoming Release: FlexScan3D Version 3.0 3D Scanner Software

Our team has been working hard these past few months to complete the latest version of our core 3D scanning technology, FlexScan3D version 3.0. All of our 3D scanners are powered by FlexScan3D Software for 3D geometry capture and 3D data processing. We are currently in the process of undergoing beta testing with plans to launch the new version next month. Here is a preview of some of the new features:

Newly Designed User Interface

Makes the process of 3D scanning faster with a more intuitive work flow and is user friendly. For people who are familiar with FlexScan3D, here is a video that provides a preview of the differences between the previous version of FlexScan3D 2.6 compared to version 3.0.

64bit-Native Core

Much faster scan data processing speeds at higher resolutions

New Advanced Data Alignment Support - Photogrammetry

Align 3D scan data automatically and accurately using markers

Multi-Head Scanning

Automated 3D scanning using multiple 3D scanners at the same time

We will keep you posted on the latest developments and launch date. If you have any questions, please contact Pauline at pauline.tang@3d3solutions.com.

Free Show Admission to Rapid 2011 (Co-located with 3D Imaging Conference)

Rapid 2011 will be held on May 24-26, 2011 in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the Hyatt Regency. The conference provides the latest information on 3D imaging applications for inspection, quality, verification, metrology, measurement and more. The focus of the conference is on using non-contact imaging technology to capture and process high-resolution 3D spatial geometries.

Show organizers are offering free registration to show exhibits. The free registration does not include conference sessions and workshops. Please visit www.sme.org/rapid to register. Remember to enter Priority Code RP100 when registering online for FREE.

3D3 Solutions will be exhibiting at the show. If you are attending please stop by our booth. We would love to meet you there to learn how we can help you with your 3D scanning projects.
