(Z Corp.: Burlington, MA) -- Z Corp. recently introduced the world’s most affordable portable 3-D laser scanner, providing high-resolution 3-D data capture to a broad base of users at an economical price.

The ZScanner 600 extends Z Corp.’s fast-growing line of unique hand-held, self-positioning scanners, which are more portable and easier to use than traditional 3-D scanners. ZScanners streamline data capture for reverse engineering, product design, cultural preservation, and other applications.

The ZScanner 600 combines these advantages with resolution down to 0.1 mm and XY accuracy up to 80 microns, making it the ideally balanced solution for value-conscious users.

The value of portability

Portability in a 3-D scanner provides an enormous advantage in ease of use and breadth of application. Z Corp.’s unique hand-held 3-D scanners eliminate the need for fixed-position tripods, bulky mechanical arms, or external positioning devices, all of which make hard-to-reach surfaces like auto interiors nearly impossible to scan. Unlike these cumbersome apparatuses, the ZScanner 600 fits in a carry-on suitcase.
