Peel 3D Scanners
These are professional grade handheld 3D scanners with no useless gadgets attached, just simple high quality 3D scanners for large or small objects where budget is a priority. The two variations Peel 1 and Peel 2 can scan items directly without the need for preparation as they automatically recognise the shape of objects.

HandySCAN 700
The new generation of handheld scanning, the HandySCAN 700 has been optimised to meet the needs of product development and engineering professionals who require the most reliable and cost effective way to acquire 3D measurements of physical objects.

HandySCAN Black Elite
The black elite version offers accurate, reliable and high resolution 3D measurements with accuracy of 0.025 mm (0.0009 in) and volumetric accuracy of: 0.020 + 0.040 mm/m (0.0008 in + 0.0005 in/ft). It is a stand-alone device not requiring any tripod or external tracking device to operate.

HandySCAN MetraScan 750 Elite
This model is 1.5x more accurate than previous HandySCAN models, it is also 12x faster with 7 laser crosses and 25% lighter. The MetraScan 750 Elite has the capability to scan any type of material, including hard to scan materials with shiny and multicoloured surfaces, including black.

FabPro 1000
Simply produce models in hours, not days with the FabPro 1000. Compared to other 3D printing systems, the FabPro 1000 can create higher-quality parts with precision and smooth finish at up to three-times-faster high-throughput print speeds. How? This piece of technology uses a projector to image each layer for easy and precise printing, with the ability to build several smaller parts on a single platform for increased productivity.

Projet CJP 460 Plus
Incorporating advanced 3-channel CMY full-color 3D printing and integrated cleaning station, the ProJet CJP 460Plus operates with safe build materials, active dust control and zero liquid waste, making it an ideal office companion for a wide range of applications. he ColorJet printing technology allows the fastest print speeds, 5x–10x faster than all other technologies, to deliver models in hours, not days. Its high throughput supports an entire department with ease.

Figure 4 Standalone
Quick and easy material changeover allows for functional prototyping and production applications diversity with the same printer. Featuring a manual material feed, it is augmented with separate post-processing units available for cleaning, drying and curing. Achieve same-day functional prototyping and low volume production with ultra-high speeds.

Markforged 2
The Mark Two is a 3D printer for serious engineering and manufacturing applications. This is the first 3D printer in the world capable of printing composite materials with a heat deflection temperature of 140°C. So in addition to being able to reinforce nylon parts with continuous strands of carbon fibre, Kevlar and regular fibreglass, you can now reinforce parts with high-temperature materials like polycarbonate.
