At last year's CES, 3D Systems unveils its iSense 3D scanner, a new consumer scanner for iPad with 3D printing optimization. Users simply attach the iSense to an iPad, and they can literally walk around and scan entire objects or environments. iSense is created for 3DS by Occipital and powered by the same software as 3DS' Sense scanner.
Yesterday 3D Systems announced that the iSense 3D scanner is now available for the iPhone. Designed with a specially 3D printed iPhone case from Cubify, users can simply snap the iSense case onto their iPhone and immediately begin to transform real life people or objects into digital three-dimensional scans.
The new iSense also includes a major upgrade for the iSense app. The new app upgrade offers improved tracking, increased speed up to 3 times faster than previous versions, and full-color vibrancy via texture mapping. All of these upgrades made to the tracking and speed deliver a smoother and easier scanning experience, quicker average scan times of 5 to 30 seconds.
As part of a collaboration between 3DS and Occipital, the iSense 3D Scanner uses a scanning engine by Occipital for its capture technology, and the 3D Systems iSense software app for processing and editing the data. The intuitive interface makes it simple to edit 3D files and prepare them for 3D printing, making it easy to convert the physical world into digital before returning it to physical again.
"Working with 3D Systems has let us bring the latest improvements to our 3D scanning engine from the iPad to the iPhone for the first time ever," said Adam Rodnitzky, Vice President of Marketing for Occipital. "The iSense for iPhone and iPad brings the powerful and unique capabilities of content optimization for 3D printing designed for consumer use."
The iSense for iPhone is immediately available for pre-order on Cubify with shipments expected on July 7, 2015. Priced at $499, the iSense for iPhone and iPad will be available on Cubify as well as at retailers B&H Photo and BestBuy.com.
