Microscribe 3D Scanner, Mobigage & Skiron 3D Laser Scan Head

Microscribe arm

Are you reverse engineering or designing accessories? Are the original CAD models either not available or not accurate to the finished part due to manufacturing distortions? The Microscribe is the ideal product for designers and animators seeking a larger 3D scan work area at a reasonable price.

With a series of joints that behave like a human arm, the Microscribe is very flexible and suitable for scanning objects with undercuts and hard to reach areas. You merely touch the object to be scanned with the tip of the arm, building up a series of 3D points or lines in the computer.

Using a Microscribe significantly reduces 3D computer modeling time and improves accuracy when compared to traditional techniques using rulers and vernier calipers. Freeform shapes and complex geometry are quickly and accurately scanned into the computer.

Compatible
Easy-to-use and compatible with many popular 3D CAD software programs (PC & MAC), the Microscribe is an affordable desktop digitizer.

Simple Connectivity
The Microscribe connects seamlessly to major software programs including Pro-Engineer, Solidworks, Rhinoceros and 3D Studio MAX. You merely connect the Microscribe to the computer via a RS-232 serial port or a USB port. The computer will see the Microscribe as another hardware accessory, similar to a computer mouse.

Skiron 3D Laser Scan Option
A Skiron 3D laser scan head can be added to Microscribes with 6 degree of freedom, providing the advantage of laser scanning with a low cost arm.

Mobigage - Wireless Metrology

MobiGage is a uniquely integrated metrology system for MicroScribe® digitizers. MobiGage is the first hand-held metrology application. Installed on an Apple® iPhone® or iPod touch®, MobiGage uses wireless communication to manage data collection from one or more MicroScribes linked to a MobiBox® Silver interface. No other computer is needed. This is the ultimate tool for portable, untethered measurement and sets the state of the art in mobile metrology. With MobiGage you can easily and quickly capture a full range of part measurements or create, edit and run repeatable measurement plans complete with reporting

.

* Runs on an Apple iPhone or iPod touch (no other computer needed)
* Wireless communication with your MicroScribe digitizer via MobiBox® Silver
* Step-by-step inspection plan creation with a full range of alignment and feature options
* National Institute of Standards (NIST) and Physical Tecknische Bundes (PTB) standards for data fitting algorithms
* ANSI standards for geometric dimensions and tolerancing (GD&T)
* Commercial standards from aerospace and automotive industries for alignments of measurement devices including 3-point, best-fit and reference positioning system (RPS)
* Industry standards for reporting using Modifiable HTML, Tabular, AS9102
