3D Scanning
FROGScan Flash from Streamline Automation is an advanced portable 3D scanning system for capturing accurate digital scans of any kind of physical object.
In the world of exponential technology, 3D scanning is among the group that has seen a dramatic increase in capability versus price performance over the last few years.

In the demo video above from Streamline Automation, their FROGScan Flash hand-held 3D scanner gives you the ability to translate any object into a detailed 3D file that can then be perfectly replicated or enlarged.

Using advanced white light technology, the FROGScan Flash is able to capture a digital 3D scan in seconds. It is offered as a standalone, portable solution that can be easily transported and set-up when and where required. 

Once complete, the scanned 3D file can be edited and prepared for production using 3D software.  For Streamilne Automation customers this typically involves cutting out the objects as oversize props and display materials (check out some of these examples), but the uses and applications of the 3D files are endless including animation, 3D printing and digital archiving.

3D Scanning is also used extensively in robotics, both for training artificial intelligence systems about the actual physical world, and for on-board navigation.

From the video, it is also clear that the FROGScan Flash is also capable of a big limiting factor of other 3D scanners, it can scan people.

Some of the key features of Streamline's new 3d scanner are:
  • Fast scan speed – FROGScan™ Flash uses white light technology that captures objects in matter of seconds.

  • Portability – FROGScan™ Flash is a standalone system that can easily be transported to wherever it’s needed.

  • Quality and accuracy –FROGScan™ Flash can generate scans with up to 100 micron accuracy and it is built to withstand heavy use in and industrial environment.

  • Integrated Software – In addition to its powerful 3D data acquisition capabilities, FROGScan™ Flash includes 3D scanning software offering post-processing capabilities like scan alignment and merging.

  • Dynamic Referencing – FROGScan™ Flash automatically aligns and realigns 3D scan data using self-positioning technology. Pause and resume scans with no issues while FROGScan™ Flash automatically finds its last scanned area. 

  • Point and Shoot – Learn to use FROGScan™ Flash in under 2 minutes with its point and shoot technology.
