Peel 3 3D Scanner

Peel 3 is an affordable 3D scanner for object digitisation, providing an accuracy of up to 0.050 mm. The device is equipped with a multi-functional handle featuring haptic feedback. The integrated touchscreen acts as a convenient distance meter. This solution optimises reverse engineering and medical modelling processes. Professionals obtain detailed digital replicas without complex setups.

Key features and benefits

  • Accuracy: up to 0.050 mm — Enables capturing the finest details of complex surfaces without quality loss.
  • Scanning speed: 80 s/m² — Significantly accelerates data collection when working with large objects.
  • Scanning area: 340 × 475 mm — Minimises the number of passes required to capture complex geometry.
  • Ergonomic handling: allows holding the device comfortably in most standard positions thanks to the multi-grip handle.
  • Haptic feedback: provides vibrational cues when scanning narrow areas without direct line of sight to the object.
  • Autonomous navigation: turns the touchscreen into a distance meter, eliminating the need to constantly look at a monitor.
  • Comprehensive software: ensures quick data cleaning and alignment through the guided workflows of Peel.OS.

Hardware platform and ergonomics

The design of the Peel 3 has been developed with long digitisation sessions in mind. The special multi-grip handle ensures a comfortable hold in most typical working positions, reducing the strain on the operator's wrist.

An important feature is the built-in haptic feedback system. The device generates recognisable vibrational patterns that help to navigate when scanning narrow or hard-to-reach areas without direct line of sight to the surface.

For maximum autonomy, the equipment is fitted with an integrated touchscreen display. This screen acts as a digital distance meter. It allows monitoring the distance to the object without the need to constantly shift focus to the computer monitor.

Software and workflow

Data collection efficiency is supported by the specialised Peel.OS software. The operator and the object can move freely in space. Meanwhile, the system displays captured and missed areas in real time to ensure 100% coverage.

Upon completion of scanning, the software environment offers powerful tools for mesh finalisation. Guided workflows allow cleaning, aligning, and merging multiple scans to create a seamless three-dimensional model.

The final stage is preparing the data for export to third-party applications. Integrated features help to quickly finalise the project. They also allow saving it in one of the numerous compatible formats for subsequent import into professional CAD systems.

Areas of application

  • Heritage preservation and art: allows safe digitisation of historical objects of any size with various surface types without physical intervention.
  • Digital content and AR/VR: creates detailed 3D renders, completely replacing the time-consuming and complex photogrammetry process.
  • Healthcare: ensures reliable capture of anatomical body shapes for designing and creating accurate medical prosthetics.
  • Reverse engineering: transforms physical handcrafted items into digital solid models for their subsequent mass production.
