Fuel3D unveils high speed 360 degree 3D scanner

Fuel3D unveiled the details of the Fuel3D 360 Scanner, a high speed imaging and measurement system, designed for capturing highly detailed 360 degree 3D data. In just 0.3 seconds, the Fuel3D 360 Scanner captures high resolution 3D data (accurate to 0.2mm), gathering both shape and color data of mid-sized objects – around the size of a human head and shoulders. The easily transportable scanning rig can be set up and calibrated in under an hour, making it practical for on-location scanning.

To support application development, an SDK will enable users to integrate the Fuel3D 360 Scanner into their own applications.

Expected applications for the Fuel3D 360 Scanner include:

• Movie actor and gaming CGI
• Virtual/augmented reality characters and objects
• Biometric security systems
• Custom eyewear fitting
• Facial measurement for retail services
• Pre-and-post surgical/dental treatment analysis

The Fuel3D 360 Scanner is being demonstrated privately this week at the CES tradeshow, with commercial availability expected in June 2017. More on Fuel3D’s website.
