Take SOL for a 3D spin
Use Cases
Scan-to-Model
Creating an accurate 3D model of a complex object can be difficult. SOL helps jump-start your modeling by giving you accurately sized replica objects. Then, these can then be incorporate into your project, or used as a reference object.
Scan-to-Print
Reproducing an object can be time-consuming, tedious, and error-prone. The SOL 3D scanner and software allows you to create a replica of objects easily. Using your preferred printing software, easily scale your scans up or down.
Scan-to-Share
In the past, sharing a 3D representation of something has been challenging. The SOL 3D scanner and software make this easy, especially with the free cloud storage from our partner, P3D.in, provided free with the SOL 3D scanner.
Testimonials
"Just Brilliant. I was able to scan an incredibly small model head with minute details like a clef chin and it was visible in a zoom! Super happy. As reference this was a 1/12 scale human head."
– Austin, Texas
“I learned how to use this scanner today and it is freakin' awesome! We only did a single scan, but I will definitely be back to do more!!!”
– Hobbyist at Make Salt Lake
“SOL is a great 3D scanner that easily competes with multi-thousand-dollar scanners that we have here at the makerspace.”
– David Dalton, Hammerspace Community Workshop
"I have access to several mid-price scanning options and several very expensive units. For the price, this unit performed very well on a resin-cast gnome that I've used for a scan target in other systems. The first scan came out perfectly and with a watertight STL file ready to print."
