High-Precision Scanning in Any Environment

The Structure Sensor 3 is compatible with the latest iPad models, making it a portable and accessible solution for multiple applications. Its IR resolution reaches 1080 x 1200 pixels, with a speed of up to 45 fps, enabling detailed and smooth captures.

The 50° x 59° field of view expands scanning coverage, capturing larger images without losing precision. Its design allows operation both in indoor environments with diffused light and in outdoor settings with cloudy skies or shade, offering unparalleled versatility for professionals working under varied lighting conditions.

Structure SDK: Power and Precision for 3D Scanning

The Structure SDK for Structure Sensor 3 is a software development kit that enables developers to leverage the sensor’s capabilities for 3D scanning, mapping, and tracking in custom applications. Integrated with iPads, it provides advanced depth capture, anatomical landmark detection, and compatibility with Structure Cloud for cloud-based measurements and analysis.

Together with the neural processor, the SDK enhances scan data interpretation and processing efficiency. Additionally, it allows integration with multiple applications in fields such as augmented reality (AR), medical and orthopedic scanning, and industrial design.

The Future of 3D Scanning

The Structure Sensor 3 is not just a 3D scanner; it is a tool that redefines three-dimensional capture. Its combination of performance, autonomy, and durability positions it as one of the best options on the market for those seeking precision and efficiency.

With one year of free Structure Capture included and compatibility with hundreds of applications, this device simplifies the digitization of objects and spaces with exceptional quality.
