FotoScan 3D Technology

FotoScan 3D represents the results of over 10 years research and development into camera-based 3D processing.  Using the most advanced stereophotogrammetry technology, it is capable of delivering precise, full colour 3D digital casts in a wide range of standard file formats.

FotoScan 3D works by using  solid-state photographic technology  to capture conventional digital photographs of a target object. The unique FotoScan 3D software then automatically converts the photographs into 3D models that are accurate to within 0.5 mm.

The FotoScan 3D technology can be used to build simple models from a single pair of cameras (such as the plantar surface of a foot) or very complex models using many camera pairs.  It's unique automatic stitching capability allows it to automatically build precise 3D models from multiple 3D data sets. FotoScan is ideal for many scanning applications, particularly  scanning parts of the human body.  It's photographic technology raises none of the reliability and safety concerns associated with laser devices and it is perfectly suited to rounded, organic shapes. 

Uniquely, FotoScan also provides a full colour 3D model.  This provides invaluable  information to supplement the 3D shape data, and is particularly useful for areas such as wound measurement..

FotoScan 3D exports 3D data in a wide range of industry standard 3D file formats that can be read by most CAD/CAM applications.  This allows FotoScan 3D digital casts to be used directly in the manufacturing process, with major benefits in accuracy and cost.

FotoScan 3D is as fast and easy to use as a digital camera. It is a proven technology and is installed in clinics throughout the world.
