Overview
NextEngine delivers an unprecedented combination of power and affordability. With an accuracy of 0.005" inch, it rivals systems costing 10 times the price.
Technical Details
Object Size: No preset limit. Objects larger than field can be assembled with supplied software.
Field Size: 5.1" x 3.8" (Macro) and 13.5" x 10.1" (Wide). ProScan Extended Mode 22.5” x 16.75”.
Capture Density: On target surface capture up to 268K points/in²(Marco), 29K points/in² (Wide).
Texture Density: 500 DPI on target surfaces is 500 DPI in Macro Mode and 200 DPI in Wide Mode.
Dimensional Accuracy: ±0.005" in Macro Mode and ±0.015" in Wide Mode.
Acquisition Speed: 50,000 processed points/sec throughput. Typically 2 minutes per scan of each facet.
Typical Datasets: Typical small models are a quarter million points, after oversampling and optimization
Environmental: Desktop use under ordinary office lighting. No darkroom or special background required.
