Nextengine's multi drive is a 2-axis programmable positioning robot
that allows you to create complete models of small objects
with just a few clicks. The first axis rotates 360-degrees,
While the second axis has an 80-degree tilt range
to capture top, bottom and anything in between.
An entire sequence of scans is triggered with a single click.
Software automatically calculates the relationship between individuals scans,
resulting in a fully aligned a dataset.
By comparison, the standard single axis auto-drive
automates alignment using the rotaional axis. Re-positioning is
required to scan tops bottoms
or occluded areas. These additional scan families
are aligned with the rest model with 3-scan placement.
In comparison -- with the multi-drive -- there's no need for placement families:
Simply set up this can sequence by defining multiple families at different
tilt orientations
and click "Start." Intelligent software runs your 3D-scanner and multi-drive
and produces a fully-aligned dataset without any human intervention.
When scanning is complete,
chip away unwanted data. Then click "fuse" to produce a watertight
high quality mesh model of your object.
