Better 3D scans with a turntable

By using a stable revolving platform from Pre-Motion, you’ll create a 3D scan quickly and with ease! Place your product or a person on the turntable and start scanning. The result: beautiful images you can use for your 3D printer, 3D animation, computer game or medical application.

Making 3D scans of products and persons is becoming increasingly popular. As a result, developments in the field of 3D scanning move extremely fast. Affordable 3D handheld scanners, 3D printers and 3D software are taking the market by storm.

Optimise your workflow with a 3D scanning turntable

A 3D scanning turntable ensures an efficient and consistent scanning process. Instead of walking around the object with your scanner, the object rotates for you. This saves time and helps you focus fully on capturing accurate scan data. Whether you're scanning a small product or a full-sized person, the automated rotation guarantees smoother results.

Why use a 3D scanning turntable for accurate results

Manual scanning can lead to uneven images and inconsistent lighting. With a 3D scanning turntable, every angle is captured evenly and under the same conditions. This consistent rotation enhances the quality of your scans and reduces the need for corrections afterwards. A stable platform is key when creating professional 3D content.

Professional 3D scanning turntables by Pre-Motion

Pre-Motion offers high-quality turntables designed for 3D scanning applications. Our platforms rotate silently and evenly, which is essential when working with precision equipment. The construction is robust, yet the design is compact and user-friendly. Whether you are in product design, gaming, medical applications or fashion, our 3D scanning turntables support your workflow.

How does a 3D scan turntable work?

  • Place a person or object on the platform.
  • Turn on the turntable and start the 360° scanning process.
  • Finished! The turntable is ready for the next scan.

"If you want to scan bigger objects or humans, you’ll have to buy something serious. I own an electric turntable manufactured by Dutch company Pre-Motion, that can hold up to 100 kilograms. They have two versions with different fixed speeds and I tested both to discover that the slowest 0.8 RPM version works great for 3D Scanning."

6 TIPS FOR GREAT 3D SCANS WITH A TURNTABLE

Tip 1: Choose the right size turntable

Use a small turntable for scans of small objects. This way you can place your camera closer to the object you want to scan.

Tip 2: Arrange for a neutral background

A neutral background is a must. The simpler, the better. Sometimes a roll of white background paper is all it takes!

Tip 3: Make scans with a good camera

Make sure you have a good camera and other photography equipment. With 3D scans, sharp pictures are crucial to get good image quality when zooming in.

Tip 4: Use a tripod

A very small object (the size of a coin, for instance) can be attached to a tripod you place on the turntable. This way you can still scan the product from above, below and the side.

Tip 5: Create proper lighting

Create diffused light in your photography space. Diffused light will hit the object you’re scanning from various angles, which will prevent undesired shadows and extreme contrasts.

Tip 6: Scan clean objects

It’s important you thoroughly clean the object to be scanned before starting your 3D scan. This will prevent time-consuming corrections and image processing later on.
