The ALE Omniscan 3D scanning system is used to scan textured
materials so a digital 3D map of the material surface can
be stored and used in the creative process of embossing pattern
design. Data is stored as 16bit tiff data ready for manipulation
by the graphic design department.
The Omniscan is available as
a stand alone drum based system where tooling rollers, textured
materials can be scanned. In addition to the stand alone option,
Omniscan can be fitted to ALE engraving systems as an upgrade.
For scanning hard substrates such as woods, ceramics, ALE
offer a flat bed scanning platform
Omniscan3D fitted to ALE Hercules emboss
engraving system.
