FAQ
HOW DOES THREE WORK?
THREE features a built-in CPU and GPU, 13MP Sony optical sensors, a state of the art DLP projector, and WIFI/ethernet connectivity. With extensive research and development, we created software that fully exploits the hardware to capture and intelligently process 37 micron resolution scans in about 20 seconds.
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER 3D SCANNERS
Other scanners require a massively powerful and expensive computer. Your THREE works with practically any computer, tablet or chromebook. Other scanners require you to hold them steady, at just the right place to avoid losing tracking, while watching a computer screen to see if it’s actually working. THREE features automatic and user-directed scan alignment. Using your included tripod, simply point the scanner at what you want to capture. The software will automatically align your scans on completion.
HOW CAN THIS WORK WITHOUT A POWERFUL COMPUTER?
Our development team built the software from the ground up. It’s beautiful, simple, powerful, and incredibly efficient with an on board CPU and GPU. Accessing your THREE is done through your web browser, so any modern device can run it.
WHAT IS THE SCAN SPEED, RESOLUTION, SCAN DISTANCE?
Capture time: 4 seconds. Processing time: 10 seconds. Projector frame rate: 60 fps. Scan object distance to camera: 220 mm to 700 mm (8.66 inches to 27.56 inches). Resolution: 37 microns @ 220 mm, 65 microns @ 400 mm, 114 microns @ 700mm. Z-accuracy: 33 microns @ 220 mm, 150 microns @ 400 mm, 400 microns @ 700 mm. Minimum capturable feature size: 0.2 mm (0.0078 in). Maximum capturable object size: theoretically unlimited, but practically limited to 16 GB storage space.
ISN’T BLUE LIGHT BETTER THAN WHITE LIGHT? HOW DOES CHROMASPEC WORK?
Contrary to popular belief, blue light doesn’t automagically deliver higher-quality scans. Blue light scanners struggle to capture certain colors, so scanning spray is almost always required. THREE’s breakthrough ChromaSpec algorithm uses the full color spectrum to detect and process different-colored areas of the object. With THREE, most of the time you won’t need to worry about scan sprays. Instead of messing around, trying to get the settings just right, THREE lets you quickly get the scan you need, and keep your project moving forward.
HOW IS THREE A VISION DEVELOPMENT TOOL?
THREE is the easiest 3D scanner you’ll ever use, with built-in software that lets you quickly set up and capture the scan you need. But it can do more as well. It has a full API and on-board processing, so if you want to get into some really cool vision system hacking, it’s ready to go. A Github repository of example projects will be available that you can run and modify. No other 3D scanner has this ability.
I’m completely new to laser cutting. I was looking for something to get me started that wasn’t super pricy as I was taking a risk purchasing this equipment with no experience. My purchase was solely to laser cut and not engrave so when I do get around to engraving that will just be a bonus. I did do the test engraving and it turned out fine so I doubt I’ll have any struggles with that. I gotta say the whole process was super easy from purchasing/delivery to setup and learning to make my first cuts. It has been great! I’ve been making and selling my items on Etsy. This purchase has allowed me to introduce new products into my shop of almost 9 years. Once the positive reviews started coming in it made me more confident in knowing I made the right choice. I know it will pay itself off in no time! Thanks for making my entry into the laser cutting world seamless and a positive one!!
Machineshark was one of the best online retailers I have used. Any questions I had were answered promptly by very knowledgeable staff from the customer service department. Safe arrived in perfect shape via a freigh carrier. The safe itself is of very high quality. Overall I'm very satisfied with my purchase, and can't say enough how professional Machineshark representatives are. They truly made the whole purchase process seamless and stress free!!
I purchased a Qidi I-Fast printer from MachineShark in 2023. I received it quickly. It came with quick-start instructions to make setup easy. Now that I have had the printer for over a year, I want to tell people about Qidi's amazing customer support for my printer after hundreds of hours of successful projects I have printed on the machine. Qidi has helped tremendously on my learning path of 3d printing (i knew nothing about 3d printing when I bought it). They have supplied comprehensive instructions when I have questions about hardware and software. They respond quickly to emails, sometimes sending detailed videos to explain. I have to say, I can't think of any manufacturer that has given me such great support.
