LET'S TALK ABOUT 3D SCANNING

EinScan SE/SP V2 now compatible with macOS!

10/27/2023

0 Comments

 
EinScan S Software update, picture of EinScan SE, EinScan SP with PC
EinScan-SE/SP V2 offers enhanced user experience compared to its predecessors and what's more now it's compatible with macOS!  The 3D scanning world has been predominantly Windows compatible, but now you have the option to use with your macOS.

Enhnaced 3D scanner features: 
  • Faster Scanning Speed: Compared with EinScan-SE/SP, EinScan-SE/SP V2 has greatly improved the scanning speed. Only 1 second for a single scan, 45 seconds for a 360-degree scan under auto scan mode.
  • Wide Scanning Range: The EinScan-SE/SP V2 offers a wide scanning range, accommodating small and large objects. Whether capturing intricate details or scanning large structures, this scanner delivers unparalleled versatility.

macOS compatible EXSCAN S software offers the following features.

  • Intuitive Trackpad Gestures: EXScan S_v3.2.0.1 supports macOS trackpad gestures, making the 3D scanning process more intuitive and efficient. Now, you can easily navigate and manipulate your scans at your fingertips.
  • Background Cutting Function: Automatically blocks unwanted backgrounds for impeccable scanning results. EXScan S_v3.2.0.1’s background cutting feature simplifies the post-processing stage, saving you time while ensuring exceptional results.
  • Quick Alignment: This function will align the object with the coordinate frame based current view: the z-axis is up, the x-axis is toward outside of the screen, and the y-axis is right. The coordinate frame will be in the center of the object bounding box.
  • Updated UI Interface: EXScan S_v3.2.0.1 receives a fresh and modern UI interface with new editing tools, providing a more visually appealing and user-friendly experience.
  • Various Align Modes: Empowers users with options, EXScan S_v3.2.0.1 still offers various align modes to suit different scanning scenarios, but with a more intuitive way to select align modes. Selecting a suitable align mode for different scanned objects will help you get data efficiently.

​Growshapes the official U.S. distributor of Shining 3D EinScan 3D scanners. We now carry the eviXscan 3D scanner from Evatronix as well!

New & Patented Structured Light Patterns with DAVID5

7/30/2016

0 Comments

 
DAVID 5 software has been designed to overcome the challenges of 3D scanning glossy and reflective surfaces with its brand new and patented Structured Light patterns!

No matter whether you are using one or two cameras, DAVID 5 will project our new stripe pattern sequence on the object.
This new structure light strip pattern is more robust against reflections, so the big advantage is that glossy/reflective surfaces can be scanned much better.

Of course we still can't do magic, so e.g. glass, mirrors or other very shiny surfaces will still be difficult to scan, so you will need to keep using a white coating spray like a Magnaflux Developer Spray or actually a foot spray will do too.

But even without spray, especially metal can be scanned much better, as the below example demonstrates. See how much the scan is improved with DAVID5 software.

​Test Scene - notice the strong reflections!

Presenter:
Ulf Lindhe, Business Development Manager, netfabb GmbH4

Description

Learn about the latest developments with netfabb software for 3D printing, including how it uses structures to create brand new materials which do not exist in nature (biomimicry), and more with Ulf Lindhe, Business Development Manager at netfabb GmbH.

It has been a year since Ulf's last presentation to our group. This is a great opportunity to find out what's new.

Some netfabb testimonials (http://www.netfabb.com/testimonial.php):

-  "netfabb is a very significant development in software for design of parts for manufacturing using rapid prototyping technologies. The software frees the product development engineer from the limitations of complexity and file size in conventional CAD programs. We use the software for designing lightweight high performance ceramic structures with tailored macro and micro porosity." Andrew Jeffery, Founder and President, Viridis Innovation LLC, Boston MA, www.viridisinnovation.com

- "netfabb’s Selective Space Structures (3S) has been incredibility useful to us. It is the only software we have found to date that is capable handling and producing large net structures required for the scale of components we produce for the aerospace industry."

- “We were pleased to find netfabb a reliable and powerful software capable of producing complex lattice structures with locally tailored geometry. In the design of customized Titanium Implants, such a capability proves to be very useful in enhancing bone response and controlling the mechanical behavior of the implants. The software has very intuitive commands that enhances the creative design of structures, minimizing time and memory usage, making the production of parts with very high complexity a breeze rather more than just a possibility.” Gilbert Chahine, Research Assistant and PhD Candidate, Research Center for Advanced Manufacturing, Lyle School of Engineering, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas, USA http://www.smu.edu/Lyle/Departments/ME/Research/RCAM.aspx

GrowShapes/Silicon Valley 3D Printing Accelerator hosts Open House for IDSA-SV

7/24/2014

0 Comments

 
growshapes and the soon-to-launch Silicon Valley 3D Printing Accelerator will be hosting an Open House this evening from 6:30 to 8:30pm at their Santa Clara office for the Silicon Valley chapter of the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA-SV).

As part of the Open House, growshapes CEO, Geoffrey Doyle will give a brief presentation on biomimicry and industrial design. His talk will focus on how the development of new structures (or combining existing structures in new ways) enables the development of new 3D printing materials. Geoffrey will also illustrate how new structures and 3D printing technologies will dramatically impact the way prototypes and products are manufactured.

There will also be product demonstrations:


  • growshapes :  DAVID 3D scanner, netfabb 3D software (which facilitates Selective Space Structures), Augmented Reality for building design, Mcor IRIS color 3D paper printing, Afinia desktop 3D printing
  • Octave: desktop 3D printing (various models, including Makerbot)
  • UpTech3D: prototype design for 3D printing

The growshapes team also runs the SVForum 3D Printing group, as well as 3D Printing for Education Meetup, to educate the Silicon Valley on emerging corporate 3D printing and scanning technologies.

Registration information can be found here.
