Surface scanner for capturing Color and 3D embossing!
SURF 3D is a revolutionary scanner designed and manufactured by METIS that has been previewed at the InPrint exhibition (München) in November 2017. This scanner is capable of capturing color, 3D embossing and glossiness information in less than 1 minute from materials like wood planks, leather, stone, textile, wallpapers, tiles, fine arts, etc.
SURF 3D provides features that are not available in an ordinary scanner such as extended customization over the enlightening of the original and 3D embossing data (e.g. for using in 3D printing or embossing applications).
Therefore, the SURF 3D scanner is particularly aimed to medium size digital printing applications requiring colour, visual 3D and/or real 3D data (e.g. reproduction of small fine arts, customized phone covers, restaurant menu with fancy cover, wrapping objects with special materials, creating gadgets, small productions, proofing, etc.); medium size ceramic and wallpaper applications; 3D rendering applications, where the scanner can be used to capture material properties (diffuse MAP, Bump MAP, etc.) in order to perfectly reproduce the material in CGI and CAD applications.
This scanner can generate color accurate high-resolution images including a 3D Depth MAP (embossing data) and glossiness MAP (representing the surfaces reflection properties).
The SURF 3D scanning software has been designed in order to provide extremely simple usage and at the same time without compromising performances and image quality. It also integrates the METIS Light Inspector software which allows designers, among other things, to optimize colour and embossing data for a specific output or use.
