Over recent years, the 3D scanning industry has made immense strides when it comes to functionality and accessibility. Professional-grade technology is now available and affordable, opening up the world of 3D scanning to hobbyists and professionals alike.

One feature that has become a selling point for many 3D scanner manufacturers is usability. No matter the quality or price of the machine, the customer has to feel confident and free of frustration while using the 3D scanner. This requires the perfect balance of automation, ease of use, as well as full control over the scanning process.

And so, the world of 3D scanning is poised to experience another leap forward with the release of SOL PRO Creator 2.0 software, bringing next-level features to the SOL PRO 3D desktop scanner.

Developed by Scan Dimension, this advanced hardware-software combination provides users with a perfect blend of automation and manual control, making the 3D scanning process smoother and more efficient, especially for symmetrical objects with few distinct features.

So, let’s dive in and explore the incredible features and use cases that the SOL PRO 3D Scanner, with the assistance of the new SOL PRO Creator 2.0 software, can bring to the table.

The SOL PRO 3D Scanner: A Glimpse into Advanced Scanning Technology

The SOL PRO 3D scanner offers top-of-the-line scanning capabilities to ensure maximum accuracy and efficiency.

Its maximum accuracy of 0.05 mm (50 microns) ensures that the scans are highly detailed and accurate, making the scanner perfect for both professional and personal use.

To maintain consistent scan quality and save time, the scanner features an automatic calibration system that allows users to reuse the last successful calibration.

In addition to its high accuracy, the SOL PRO 3D Scanner is equipped with an 8 MP camera that captures color texture in HDR quality. This results in realistic and visually appealing 3D models, making the scanner suitable for a wide range of applications.

The scanner also offers a fast scanning process with full resolution scans taking 15 minutes in Normal scanning mode and 20 minutes in High accuracy scanning mode, while medium resolution scans take just 8 minutes in Turbo scanning mode. These time indications include every step from opening the software to having a final 3D model, ready to use.

To further enhance the scanning experience, the SOL PRO 3D Scanner provides multiple options that accommodate different scanning requirements. Best of all, with SOL PRO Creator 2.0 software, users can benefit from the manual alignment and point cloud edit options, providing them with more control over the final result.

Additionally, the scanner supports texture exclusion, dark or partially dark surface scanning, and unsteady object scanning, ensuring optimal results in various scanning situations.

Of course, all of these hardware features are supported by SOL PRO Creator software. Scan Dimension’s latest version, SOL PRO Creator 2.0, brings the capabilities of its scanning ecosystem to the next level.

SOL PRO Creator 2.0: Combining Automation and User Control

The SOL PRO Creator 2.0 software complements the advanced hardware capabilities of the SOL PRO 3D scanner by providing users with a seamless scanning experience. Key features of the software include:

Transparency

SOL PRO Creator 2.0 allows users to see the scanning process in real-time, displaying a live view of the point cloud being built. This enables users to rotate and inspect their model as it’s being created. Additionally, after each scanning pass, the software shows automatically aligned point cloud thumbnails, allowing users to confirm proper alignment before the automated meshing process.

Improved User Control

The updated software retains the automated processes that deliver high-quality scans for asymmetrical objects, while providing users with greater control for scanning symmetrical objects. Users can now review and adjust alignment before committing time to meshing.

The latest software also provides users with the ability to delete entire point clouds, or parts of point clouds, if needed.

Furthermore, SOL PRO Creator 2.0 offers faster manual alignment using matching pairs of user-selected points to align two point clouds at a time.

Flexible Storage, Installation, and Operation

With Creator 2.0, users can now select the location where the file collection will be saved, making it easier to manage data storage limitations. This added flexibility benefits all users, regardless of their need for manual control over the scanning process.

You can download the latest version of the SOL PRO Creator 2.0 software for Windows or Mac on the Scan Dimension website.
