The advent of 3D printing has revolutionized the way we think about making and manufacturing, and the HP '3D Capture Stage' is designed to help makers recreate items without having to worry about complex digital schematics. Working like a 3D scanner, the HP '3D Capture Stage' enables quick surface mapping to copy the dimensions and intricacies of nearly any product.
Once the HP '3D Capture Stage' has scanned the entirety of the item, users are able to manipulate it, print it using a 3D printer or do a variety of other digital tasks. The automated operation of the HP '3D Capture Stage' enables users to set it and step away; the device will automatically stop once the scan has completed.
