What it is

Polyga FlexScan3D is free legacy software for controlling 3D scanners, capturing scans, and processing them into digital 3D models. It can operate multiple scanners, change scanner settings, and recalibrate systems; Polyga states that acquisition takes approximately one second per scan. The built-in mesh editor supports processing, aligning, merging, cleaning, and filling holes. Standard edition tools measure and analyze deviation by comparing two meshes with a color map. Exports include PLY, OBJ, STL, ASC, and FBX. A C++/C# API library and scripting functions expose scanner controls and data processing. Compatibility includes Polyga scanners, most Basler and FLIR monochrome global-shutter cameras, and standard DLP projectors through HDMI. An automatic rotary table supports 360-degree scanning, and color capture works with color machine-vision cameras. The listed minimum operating system is 64-bit Windows 10. Polyga provides a manual but no one-on-one support for custom DIY scanner builds.
