H3 This highly accurate structured-light scanner from Polyga scans objects ranging from about 4 inches to about 6 feet in length into digital 3-D models. The H3 is ideal for such tasks as scanning smaller molds and tools, or reverse engineering parts. 

What’s new? The H3, the first handheld scanner that Polyga has built.  

Benefits Two-in-one functionality. The H3 can be handheld or, when placed on a tripod and used with an optional rotary table, 3-D scanning can be totally automated. The H3 is simple to use and doesn’t need to be calibrated before scanning. It is also available in a version that can capture full-color scans.
