In the physical world around us, inspiration comes in many different forms, shapes, and sizes. As 3D scanning technology becomes more affordable and accessible to the small-to-medium sized businesses, there are now an array of handheld devices that enable users to capture real-life objects and harness them in the digital realm.

From artists to the automotive industry, 3D scanning has become an all-important part of the digital manufacturing toolbox. One of the brands ushering in this new era of low-cost, professional-quality handheld 3D scanning is peel 3. A few years back, peel 3D released the peel 2 3D scanner, a device that utilizes three cameras to capture colors and textures of scanned objects.

Now, peel 3d is once again shaking up the 3D scanning market with two new completely redesigned professional-grade 3D scanners: the peel 3 and peel 3.CAD. With these new models, the company intends to elevate the 3D scanning experience for professional users across many different sectors without compromising affordability.

The new peel 3 3D scanner is an innovative and novel device, offering a convenient 3D scanning process suitable for a wide range of applications. peel.3CAD takes the magic a step further by providing reverse engineering capabilities that link directly with your preferred CAD software.

Let’s take a deeper dive into these two new 3D scanners and find out how peel 3 has improved the scanning process.

peel 3 Releases Two New 3D Scanners with Professional Capabilities at Affordable Price

Following suit with their previous 3D scanners, one of the main features worth noting about peel 3 and peel 3.CAD is the ergonomic design of the device itself. These handheld 3D scanners are carefully designed to fit seamlessly into the hand, and includes an intuitive multi-function touchscreen interface and haptic feedback that enables the scanner to communicate with the end-user.

The scanner itself offers higher resolution and is able to capture more complex geometries, surfaces, and colors. By revamping the design, combined with these quality improvements, users can capture more objects than ever before.

Both the peel 3 3D scanner and peel 3.CAD 3D scanner package boast upgraded functionality and design. The primary difference between the two models lies in peel.3 CAD’s ability to transfer captured data directly to the CAD software of your choice. Still, software is a crucial part of the product package for both models.

peel 3 3D scanner comes with peel.OS, an easy-to-use data acquisition software that enables users to process, clean, align, improve and export 3D scanning data. The peel 3.CAD package, which combines peel 3 with peel.CAD reverse engineering software, is designed for users aiming at transforming 3D scans into CAD-ready files.

The 3D scanning process itself has never been easier. Simply scan the object, finalize the mesh data, and extract entities and surfaces captured in the scan. Those with the peel 3.CAD 3D scanner can take the process a step further and transfer this data directly to CAD.

“In addition to the boosted performance specs and innovative design of the new peel 3d scanners, the fact that each 3D scanner can be supported with integrated and powerful scan-to-CAD software is something the market has never seen before for this category of 3D measurement solutions,” explained François Leclerc, Program Manager at peel 3d. “This clearly shows our commitment to democratizing the entire 3D scanning experience for users in many different fields.

These next-generation peel 3d scanners can be leveraged for a myriad of applications, including: AR, VR and digital content, the automotive sector, product design, healthcare, MRO and engineering, education, and art and heritage preservation. But which of the two scanners is optimal for your specific needs?

peel 3 3D scanner is best suited for applications such as heritage preservation and art, AR and VR content, healthcare, education, and other creative endeavors. On the other hand, the reverse engineering capabilities of the peel3.CAD makes it ideal for aftermarket and tuning parts, product design, and other engineering-related applications.

Both 3D scanner models were designed, developed and manufactured in Canada, leveraging the renowned 3D scanning technology of Creaform. Each peel 3 scanner is product and calibrated on par with North American standards, ensuring durability, reliability, and accuracy.

Outside of the new product offerings, peel 3d is also offering customers access to V.I.peel, an exclusive white-glove service and investment protection program that includes free software updates, extended hardware repair coverage, and more. peel 3d has also redesigned a series of accessories to complement its new 3D scanners.

peel 3 3D scanner is priced at $8490, while peel 3.CAD and its reverse engineering capabilities start at $11,990. For the quality and durability that each offers, professionals will surely enjoy the ability to capture incredibly precise and dimensionally accurate 3D scans without breaking the band.
