Features & Benefits of the VIUscan™ laser scanner

The VIUscan boasts a wide array of highly innovative and powerful features.

High resolution and accuracy: Captures every detail and delivers high resolution and accurate geometry and textures, for an exact representation of the object.

Truly portable: Fits in a case the size of a carry-on suitcase, easy to carry on the job site.

Automatic 100% accurate texture mapping: The texture and geometry of the object are automatically acquired in one and the same reference system and aligned together with 100% accuracy, eliminating the alignment step usually required after scanning.

Adjustable and uniform texture resolution: The output file shows uniform DPI resolution throughout the whole model and from every viewing angle, which is a great feature when scanning strong curvature forms.

True color acquisition: Thanks to the built-in lighting system, the scanner acquires sRGB-calibrated colours, regardless of the ambient light conditions.

Optimal file size: The resolution parameters make it possible to increase/decrease the texture and geometry resolution at will, and independently of one another, so to create files of optimum size and quality.

User-friendly and easy to learn: The scanning process is virtually plug & play! No particular technical skills are required from the user.

Versatile: The device can be used virtually anywhere and under any conditions, since it’s lightweight, handheld and requires no external reference system.

Self-positioning: No external tracking or positioning devices are needed. The innovative positioning targets allow the operator to move the object any way he wants.

Dual scanning mode: The top-mounted press button enables the operator to switch between color-textured geometry scanning or geometry scanning only. The latter can be selected to reduce the size of the final file, when colour acquisition is not necessary.

Affordable system: Competitively priced, no time-consuming setups, requires very low maintenance.
