Ground freight $1.00 in lower 48 on May Sale. This scanner is awesome for small parts. You will be amazed at the detail it provides. It is better than any other I have seen in a touch scanner. It uses a fine wire probe to touch instead of a 1/8" diameter probe. I scanned in a potato chip and it did not break it or the bubbles on the chip surface.MDX-15 Desktop Model maker with contact scanner 6" x 4" x 2.375"

Features

All In One Machine

The Roland Active Piezo Sensor (RAPS) transforms the machine into a 3Dscanner for scanning 3D objects and creating 3D data. The milling spindle unit turns the machine into a full-featured CNC (computer numerical control) mill capable of cutting jeweler's wax, resins, chemical wood, acrylic, and even light metals such as brass and aluminum.

Subtractive RP

Subtractive Rapid Prototyping (SRP) - starting with a solid object and removing unwanted material - has several advantages over traditional rapid prototyping. Significantly less expensive than rapid prototyping machines with the same resolution, SRP machines mill a wider range of materials that cost less and have no need for chemicals or post finishing work. Plus, they produce a superior finish.

R.A.P.S.

Roland Active Piezo Sensor (RAPS) technology eliminates the drawbacks of conventional contact-type 3D scanners. It scans data with hair-splitting precision, picking up even the most minute shape variations. Minimum scanning pitches for the MDX-15/20: X/Y-axis direction 0.002 to 0.197 inches settable insteps of 0.002 inches, Z-axis direction 0.001 inches

Scans Almost Anything

The MDX-15/20 scans a wide range of objects including soft objects like clay and fruit that conventional contact scanners find very difficult. It can even scan glass, impossible using optical scanners because the light beams passes through the object without detecting it.

Software

The MDX-15/20 comes standard with powerful CNC milling and scanning application software compatible with Windows? 95/98/ME, Windows NT? 4.0 and Windows? 2000, making it easy to use right out of the box. The MDX-20/15 is also compatible with a variety of popular 3D CAD and computer graphics software programs, including SolidWorks, Rhinoceros, VectorWorks, LightWave, Visual Mill and 3D Studio Max.

Easy As Pie

With an RS-232C cable, the MDX-15/20 plugs into a computer as easily as any desktop printer. Within minutes, even beginners can be scanning and milling.
