Advanced Technology for Flawless Scans

Equipped with a 9-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), the POP 3 Plus offers precise tracking and seamless frame stitching, correcting errors caused by fast movements or vibrations. This smart technology improves the scan quality and captures fine details at all times. It also features an optical zoom with 1.5x and 2x levels, ideal for small objects or intricate details.

Improvements in Lighting and Marker Tracking

The dual white LEDs of the POP 3 Plus provide additional lighting to eliminate shadows and make colors more vibrant, which is especially useful when scanning transparent, dark, or reflective objects, or in challenging lighting conditions, such as outdoor environments or spaces with variable light. Additionally, the new global marker tracking mode significantly improves marker point tracking, optimizing point merging accuracy and volumetric accuracy. For more difficult scanning conditions, such as problematic surfaces, it is recommended to use AESUB scanning sprays, available in various variants for different scanning situations. Scanning in direct sunlight is not recommended, as it may affect the quality of the results.
