The scanner employs cutting-edge structure-light stereo-matching algorithms and optical design to faithfully reproduce the true texture and contours of objects. Additionally, with eight infrared lights, the Otter effectively tracks marker points on objects with fewer scanning features, and under marker mode, it achieves enhanced accuracy.

Versatility

The CR-Scan Otter 3D scanner is well-suited for human body scanning, featuring a unique face mapping algorithm that captures intricate details, including hair, with ease. A complete human body scan is efficiently achieved in just 2 minutes. The scanner uses near-infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye and ensures Class 1 laser safety, making it harmless to users. For outdoor scanning, the Otter is equipped with advanced DOE (Diffractive Optical Element) 3D structure-light technology, providing superior environmental adaptability and maintaining excellent performance even in bright sunlight conditions (up to 30,000 lux).
