3D Optical Digitizers
Patterned light is projected onto subjects; deformation is recorded by an off-set camera. Triangulation calculates a 3D mesh. Fast, accurate and adaptable for human portraiture.

3D Laser Scanners
A laser line moves over subjects' surfaces; an off-set camera records deformation. Triangulation calculates a 3D mesh. Slower, but higher accuracy enabled for static objects.

3D Mechanical Digitizers
Mechanical arms physically probe objects, guided by the user; points are recorded on the surface of subjects. Intuitive but slow. Unsuitable for delicate objects.

3D Scanning software
View, edit and export scan data efficiently and accurately. Triangulation, registration and merging algorithms, polygon editing, CAD conversion, model export for web viewing.

InSpeck 3D Mega Capturor DF - Optical 3D Digitizer

Versatile, dual field digitizer. Now with two mega-pixel cameras.

InSpeck 3D Mega Capturor DF: high resolution optical 3D digitiser capable of capturing small and large volumes.
InSpeck 3D Capturor DF

Engineered specifically to help users with constantly changing digitizing needs, the 3D Mega Capturor DF is synonymous with the word versatility. The major innovation in the DF, which stands for Dual Field, is the fact that there are now two mega-pixel cameras built into the system. Simply put, this means users can digitize two different volumes of measurement. In other words, with the same digitizer, users can now digitize objects of the size of a face/head and of the size of half a human body with the same system. The 3D Mega Capturor DF can be described as a 2-in-1 digitizer, which is quite useful for applications like medical imaging and research just to name a few. These expanding markets can benefit from the high quality data the 3D Mega Capturor DF can provide.

As with all the other InSpeck digitizers, the technology used to capture the data is not a laser, but rather a white halogen light that can be used safely on humans. Like all of InSpeck’s systems, the 3D Mega Capturor DF is also very capable of scanning hair, which has traditionally been a problem for others. Because of its fine texture, complex structure and many variants, hair is probably the most difficult thing to digitize. The 3D Mega Capturor DF can also digitize any skin color with ease. Its capability to capture hair and skin color is what distinguishes the 3D Mega Capturor DF from the rest.

Digitized Volume Options

The 3D Mega Capturor DF is designed to offer two different fields of view thanks to the two mega-pixel cameras built into the system. The [Small Field] camera is perfect for small target areas like faces or heads for example. It will give you very high resolution. The [Large Field] camera will acquire a larger target area but with lesser details. With this model you can easily digitize half a person, (head to waist, waist to feet etc). This is a great solution for people wanting to build a front view of half a body. Scan the body (from the waist up) with the [Large Field]. Then, scan the face with the [Small Field] camera and attach the face to the body. You now have a great high-detail front view of half a human body.

EM Software

Creating complete 3D models (360°) can be done by taking multiple acquisitions (views) using a single digitizer. Then, the multiple views can be stitched in InSpeck’s EM software. This software will not only generate a complete 3D model but it also provides many functions to edit and modify it such as reducing and simplifying polygons, editing texture (2D/3D) and exporting to various 3D graphics software packages like Softimage©, 3D Studio Max© and MAYA©. If the 3D model needs to be animated, more functionalities like NURBS generation, sub surface and morphing tools will help productivity and accelerate workflow.

Multi-Head Configuration

Another possibility is to configure more than one digitizer to work together as a system. You can configure multiple digitizers together and by placing your subject/object in the middle, you can take a single acquisition. This enables users to easily capture subjects that can’t stay still for more than a few seconds (i.e. babies, animals etc.), otherwise impossible by taking multiple acquisitions with a single digitizer. This is what InSpeck calls the Multi Head system. These systems come with a calibration target that eliminates time-consuming registration (view alignment) processing steps.
In the end, Multi Head systems help users cut down drastically the time it takes to go from acquisitions to complete 3D models.
