3D3 Solutions Represented at Euromold 2011 in Frankfurt
Nov 29 to Dec 2

Our partner, EGSolutions, will be exhibiting at Euromold 2011 in Frankfurt. The exhibition is a worldfair for moldmaking, design and application development. EGSolutions will feature the HDI Advance R2 3D Scanner in their booth at Hall 11.0, Stand B131. If you are attending Euromold, please come by their booth for a live demonstration.

Improved Rotary Table System

Our team has recently made improvements to the rotary table system that is compatible with the HDI 3D Scanner and FlexScan3D Software. Users can automate the process of performing multiple scans of a single object and automatically align and merge the scans together to form a 360° model.

Improvements include:

• Longer wiring from the rotary table to the controller box
• Larger top plate (14")
• Holds an object up to 40 lbs

The package includes software, hardware, mounting plates and controller. The rotary table system helps reduce scan processing time. For more information including pricing, please contact Pauline at pauline.tang@3d3solutions.com.
