[QUOTE="NZClinician, post: 235476, member: 18658"] Wow, thanks for taking the time to put all that info down for us. I think I understood it :) but I have a million more. You certainly helped me focus. When I posted the Q, I was confused as to which imaging technology was the best or which was old technology or where it was going. And you did touch on this a little. There are so many different technologies around though. Eg White light? Blue LED? Red laser? Strip lighting? Or even Phase Shifting Optical Triangulation!? I'm sure there's others. Also number of cameras. How important is this? When we talk cameras what MPix do we need? I'm looking for metal frameworks, but the ability to do bars would be a nice to have. How good are the sensors on these cameras? On a practical level; to what detail do I realistically need for the Jobs i described above? I appreciate you advice on file formats too. What's open and closed formats. Ive heard the terms, but didn't understand them. 3mf seems the future, but all the manufacturers talk about stl. I'm wary of the closed source SW, thanks for highlighting them, as I hope not to be locked into a particular printer/miller service. Licences are also a down for me. If I spend all this money I do not want them dictating time/scan limitations on me. Are these the only areas I should be looking into? Are there questions/areas I haven't asked about that I should know when making comparisons. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
