This year at rapid 2013 we saw that the focus of the event was on 3d printing companies and there was about a 70% of the show on 3d printers and 20% on 3d scanner companies and 10% on 3d printing supplies. So we saw only a very small percent of 3d scanners this year the tendency is more on 3d printing and 3d scanning is going more of to animation.

At RAPID 2013 the tendency was more on 3d printer companies.

Breukmann white light projection 3d scanner

Since 2012 Breukman and AICON 3D systems are now a united company, which offer a full rage of 3d metrology systems in RAPID 2013 they presented the Breukmann Stereo scan 3d HE 3d scanner. It is used for reverse engineering, plastic industry and cultural heritage preservation

Direct Dimensions

Shape shot from Direct Dimensions is now presented as a 3d photo booth where you can take your 3d image like in a regular photo booth and then have it 3d printed at the same time. They have started selling this booth around the US. Here are some nice 3d printed faces.

At this booth we had the chance to also see a holographic display where you can see your 3d captured face in a form of a hologram. This device has a very low resolution and you have to view it with a flashlight. You have to remember that there is no animations on this device so you cant see it like a Star Wars hologram animation instead you get photographic hologram in order to see it you have to move the display.

HDI Advance

At the show we caught up with Thomas Thong. He used to be president and owner of 3D3 solutions and to our surprise he told us that he had sold 3D3 solutions to HDI advance and that he was going to be sales repre-sentative and development engineer of the company. So now it is called HDI Advance. They are selling the 3d scanners as HDI Blitz and HDI Advanced. Our best wishes for Thomas in this new venture in business.

NIKON

Presented the Metris 3d scanner with a MCAx premium portable arm. We had the chance to see the 3d Metris scanner at work and Andy Stults senior sales applications engineer from Nikon Metrology explained what are the advances in this technology. One feature is that the Metris can do 3d scanning on reflective objects witch makes it a 3d scanner apart of other 3d scanning companies and the other feature is that it can 3d scan on black objects with no difficult.

3d Systems

Presented at their booth two Creaform 3d scanners the GoScan 3d and a Handyscan 3d. These are two hand-held portable 3d scanners that are very light and easy to use. The GoScan 3d is more portable and lighter scan-ner than other handheld 3d scanners Creaform compacted its size for easier handle and there is no need to do any alignment and it is 10 times faster than standard 3d scanners.

3d Systems presented the Creaform GOScan 3d and the Handyscan 3d.

Equality Tech INC

Desktop 3d scanner for dental applications.

Equality Tech INC presented the Rexcan CS2 a Structered-light 3d scanner its ideal for scanning small sized objects in a highly accurate way. The interest of this 3d scanner is that you just have to put your object on the tray and with the click of a mouse you get all the part 3d scanned in a few minutes with very nice detail, there is no need of targets or manual aligning.
