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.

Reliable, proven MicroScribe technology
The award-winning MicroScribe digitiser features Revware's mechanical tracking technology and a unique, attractive mechanical arm that's compact and easy to use. Constructed from high quality components like precise aluminum housings, lightweight graphite links, and state-of-the-art electronics, MicroScribe M digitisers can provide years of trouble-free digitising.
The counterbalanced mechanical arm is equipped with precision bearings for smooth, effortless manipulation. Each joint uses digital optical sensors, which are immune from any environmental noise and interference. It all makes for a versatile system that can work in most any environment and be used with solid objects of almost any material. With accuracy of up to 0.002-inches, the MicroScribe M digitising system is cost-effective tool for metrology, inspectiopn, reverse engineering, medical, and other applications.
The Fastest Way to Digitise in 3D
MicroScribe digitiser provides a fast, reliable, and easy-to-use method for creating accurate 3D computer models. Just trace over the contours of a physical object and build complex 3D data sets in a matter of minutes. The MicroScribe 3D digitiser works with physical objects of various shapes, sizes, and materials. A variety of third-party software packages provide the solutions you need to get up and running fast.
Software Solutions
To take advantage of MicroScribe M digitizers, you can either use a dedicated digitising software application or use one of many software drivers that link MicroScribe M digitising capabilities to existing third-party software applications. For a list of compatible software, check out the Software Solutions section. These software packages allow you to create complex 3D models using points, lines, polygons, splines, NURBS, or other standard geometric entities. You can even use MicroScribe M digitisers as a 3D mouse to control view locations, set light source locations and even define animation trajectories in real time.
