Better Material Adaptability

It is capable of 3D scanning industrial parts, automotive exteriors and interiors with black and reflective surfaces. No spray is needed for 3D scanning.

Adapt to Different Colors

Compared to colored lasers, infrared light sources (invisible light) are absorbed relatively less when projected onto the surface of different colors. Thus, the New iReal M3, paired with infrared light, can bring smoother and more comfortable scanning experiences.

High Efficiency

iReal M3’s scanning rate is as high as 60 fps, which greatly improves scanning efficiency so that engineers can get high-quality 3D data quickly.

Infrared VCSEL Structured-Light for Human Body Scanning, Art and Design

Hybrid Alignment Modes

When objects have inadequate geometric or textural features, we can use hybrid alignment mode (marker and feature alignments). Just stick several markers on featureless parts and you can align scans smoothly.

Without Markers

When objects are full of continuous, non-repetitive, and richly varied geometric/textural features, you can scan them directly with geometry and feature alignment mode. The marker-free 3D scanning and one-button start to improve on-site working efficiency.

Smoother, Easy to Use

Large Scanning Area: Large field of view (FOV), up to 580 mm x 550 mm, allows for fast and accurate scanning of medium to large-sized items.

Deep Depth of Field: 720-mm scanning depth of field and better operation smoothness help you get started easily.
