Import Real Objects into 3-D Programs

October 1997 / What's New / Import Real Objects into 3-D Programs

The Roland Picza scanner ($1195) uses a needle to physically map the surface of small objects, such as Matchbox cars or dolls, for importing into 3-D drawing programs as DXF or IGES files. The tool also works with the Modela 3-D plotter ($1195) to reverse-engineer an object. The Modela plott er can carve small models into balsa, Styrofoam, wax, or other materials to create models of your 3-D files or copies of objects it has scanned.
