(Exact Metrology: Cincinnati, OH) -- Exact Metrology, Inc. is pleased to introduce the addition of the new Artec3D Scanner to our metrology product offering

Artec3D Scanners require no mounts or markers, and are ideal for a variety of applications including computer graphics and animation, medical imaging, archival, prototyping, and more. Complete systems including hardware, software and training start at under $15,000.

The Artec3D Scanners work just like a regular video camera, but instead of a two-dimensional image, the result is a three-dimensional image captured at speeds of up to 15 surfaces per second. The scanning process is extremely straightforward: simply walk around the object and scan it from various angles, while the accompanying software combines all the scanned images into one. The scanners are equipped with wide-field-of-view 3-D and mega-pixel 2-D sensors, and the technology allows capturing both shape and surface texture of objects in a snap-shot or video mode.
