(threeRivers 3D: Pittsburgh) -- threeRivers 3D Inc., a manufacturer of standard and custom 3-D imaging systems, has launched the LC-2-MACRO laser scanner. The LC-2-MACRO is optimized for 3-D scanning small parts such as dental molds, hearing-aid impressions, jewelry, and other highly detailed parts.

“The addition of this scanner to our product line provides our customers with even more flexibility,” says threeRivers 3D president and CEO Mike Formica. “It was developed in direct response to their requests for an affordable 3-D scanner specifically engineered for small parts scanning.”

The LC-2-MACRO has a working volume of 4 in. × 3 in. × 3 in. and a point spacing of 80 microns, enabling it to capture even the finest details. Sharing the same high-speed architecture as the LC-2, the MACRO version has a scan time of 5 seconds for a single view, a resolution of 1.2 million points, and includes an automated rotary turntable for fast, easy 360° scanning. A gallery of sample scans taken with the new 3-D scanner can be found here.
