XYZ 3D scanner features

It’s easy to use, light and compact so that 3D scanning does not need a lot of large cumbersome equipment and making it easy to set up. One of the advantages over other scanners is that its operating specifications mean that you can scan smaller objects. Also it has to be one of the cheapest 3D scanners available.

The XYZ scanner has two scan modes, one for objects and another for portraits / head shots and the software settings are optimised for these contexts.

How to use the XYZ handheld scanner

It’s very easy to use, simply hold in your hand horizontally at around 10 – 70cm away from the target object.  Move steadily around the object trying to maintain a constant rate and distance. This will capture the object from different angles from which the 3 dimensional mesh model will be created. Once you have clicked the button to finish scanning your data will be processed quickly giving you a 3D printable replica.
