Introducing the SOL 3D Scanner
Precision At A Price You Can Afford
The SOL 3D scanner provides an affordable, easy-to-use solution for creating digital copies of real-world objects. It uses a combination of laser triangulation and white light technology. This hybrid approach provides a maximum resolution of 0.1 mm. You can also choose between near and far scanning modes. The SOL features an automatic turntable, making the 3D scanning process automated. The rotating table is able to support a maximum weight of 2 kg.

COMPETITOR 1 – $749
To start off and get a quick assessment of the overall quality, we started with a single scan pass of the dragon in an upright position.

SOL 3D SCANNER – $699
We were pretty pleased with where SOL stacks up in terms of value versus performance.
We are pretty pleased with the results, but you should be the judge.

COMPETITOR 2 – $2499
You can see that the quality is slightly better, but is it worth it?
How it Works
The Scan Dimension engineering team focused on developing an incredibly easy-to-use scanner. To start a scan, users simply place an object on a turntable, cover it with the included tent, and press a button — the laser, camera, and software do the rest.
SOL notifies users of the next steps with sounds or text messages. SOL features near- and far-mode scanning, and supports the following dimensions and maximum weight:
- For near-mode scanning, an object up to 100 mm in diameter and 100 mm tall (3.9 by 3.9 inches).
- For far-mode scanning, an object up to 170 mm in diameter and 170 mm tall (6.69 by 6.69 inches).
- The maximum scannable weight is 2kg (4.4 lbs. or 70.5 ounces).
