Update - October 2009

Surphaser 3D Terrestrial Laser Scanner now available - Incredible accuracy, amazing data quality, up to 1 million points per second

The Surphaser terrestrial 3D laser scanner can scan objects from 0.2m to 140m. With it's incredibly low noise, high accuracy and fast scan speeds the Surphaser finally brings the quality of close range 3D scanners to long range terrestrial scanners. Benchmark the Surphaser and you should see the Surphaser outperform other scanners for noise and accuracy. Lower noise means more usable and accurate data.

The Surphaser is ideal for heritage, recording factory layouts and car scanning where high levels of detail are required and where traditionally terrestrial scanners have not been able to capture high quality data.

Truly Low Cost Quality Scanning Now Available

Flexscan 3D and David Laserscanners are now available from Qubic. These revolutionary products bring the cost of 3D scanning down to the hundreds of dollars if you already have a data projector, good digital still or video camera, or a low powered line laser. The quality of the scans are very good and are suitable for reverse engineering, visualisation, animation and games. The level of detail and cleanliness of the data depends upon your hardware quality.

Rhinogold V2 is under beta testing. Existing users can download the beta to trial. Extensive improvements have been made to setting wizards and ring wizards.

Minolta Range7 Laser Scanner - The Range 7 scanner has proven itself to be able to scan machined metal tools and gloss black objects without any surface treatment to produce high quality scans. Accuracy is tested under VDI 2634 Part 2.
