Trying to decide which scanner to buy. I have done research on both but wanted to get any second opinions! Thanks guys.
I highly recommend DOF scanner mainly because of the fix table. It is big bonus we find. WE have a 3shape and we are testing the scanner from zirkonshan.

We are looking at the Identica Blue 2015 model to use with exocad. Which is faster for production? Blue 2015 or DOF? Thanks guys!

Freedom Scanner is superior design because it has more degrees of "Freedom". The projector orientation to the scan geometry length is important since their are distortions from the projector. The projector image is divergent with typically less distortion "side to side" vs. "top-bottom" on most commercial projector. Custom projectors/optics with collimated projection light don't have this issue. Medit and other scanners use off the shelf projectors.

But, the moving mechanism (that supports the cameras) can not be a weak point? Let me explain: the cameras in motion, they can not lose their convergence angle, disorder or suffer from constant motion?

It comes down to repeatability, if the given mechanism is able to position the camera to the spot the software is expecting it to be...then shouldn't be any issues. It should have some sort of position feedback...

There is no one who has the new FREEDOM HD, which can give us an opinion and feedback?

we'll be getting ours in a month or something. actually, who knows, considering their mill was delayed for over a year. The whole process was a total joke. They wanted FULL payment on the scanner, which aren't even available for sale yet, and they couldn't even provide a solid shipping date. I don't know if they're trying to piss us off, but couldn't have done a better job.

I have to use DOF scanner because my boss bought already, but it's much better than 3shape D700.
I never use identica but DOF is quite good choice to you too.

Hey Harmonylab,

Just curious, who is the reseller? It is definitely available for for sale and I'm very surprised you're having that issue...

Hey Boozy Woozy,

This is a really late reply... Hope it's not too late. But I would call DOF USA at 571 248 5599 and ask for Felix or Josh. One of them should be able to answer that question for you.

I guess they keep nothing in stock. Looks like they're demanding full payment before they even bring them in

I couldn't trust a company like that...for support after sell..
Makes it appear there on the edge of closing their doors with one foot out the door.

I really love our Identica Blue scanner. I haven't used the Freedom Scanner (and it looks really REALLY cool) but I still love my little blue.

I can understand the concern ... however look at the opposite side of things - large companies that purchase in bulk, and then when new products come out they continue to sell the old without updating customers on the new. By being smart about your stock, you can keep the new stuff available quickly. And yes, I keep low stock on hand (Although we weren't the company in question here) - I don't ask for full payment though up front. 50% on order, and remainder on delivery and after training.

Harmonylab

It's going to depend on your dealer of the DOF scanner. I know each company has it's payment terms/policies. I absolutely believe 50% on order and 50% before delivery or after delivery is the norm. I am positive you will be able to find a dealer that will have more favorable payment terms.
