Identica Blue VS Degree of Freedom Scanners?

[dirkkk50]

Today I ordered the Medit Identica Blue 2015, (with the Artex jig and table). The dealer here in the Netherlands did give me the opportunity to work with the scanner for about 2 weeks. And it did exceed my expectations.
The only thing that bothers me are the spec's for the hardware. The demo set was running Exocad with an Intel i5 core and a nVidia geforce 510 4gb and 8gb of memory. That's not enough, because there is a serious lag, it doesn't run smoothly. Especially in combination with my 3d space pilot.
I can find the minimum spec's for Exocad, but I can't find hardware spec's witch will give me a smooth handling in Exocad.
Can somebody give me the optimal hardware setup to run the Medit Identica Blue 2015 running Exocad?

Are you using exoscan or Medit software for scanning?
I will recommend exoscan if you are not using it.
I upgraded my RAM to 16g and scan processing is quicker.

I use Exoscan. What's the rest of your config (besides the 16 gb ram)?

Win 7 pro I7 forgot the bus speed. Solid state drive.
Nothing special.

Hello if you want a beast that can shred through pretty much anything. I put a screenshot of my workstation specs;

Hey Dirkadirk, I built all most of the computers at our lab (10+) and I would have to say to have atleast:
i7 processor
nvidia graphics card
solid state drive
8gb ram.

We have several work stations with different scanners however our exocad stations have atleast:
i7 4790k
Nvidia GTX 970
16gb ram
256gb SSD

And liquid cooled can help keep temps down.

We have a Xeon with 32gb ram but it just seems unnecessary to spend that much for every workstation.

Take care!

Think about projector lifespan, suspension and maintenence. DOF makes their own projector.
And 'ALL-IN-ONE' fuction is quite good.

Guess we'll be the judge of that! Here's to hoping for outstanding performance and productivity! !

Thanx for all the advice. I went for this configuration:
- Fractal design define r5 white
- Intel i7 5820k
- 16gb ram ddr4
- MSI Geforce gtx 970 4gb
- MSI X99A sli plus motherboard
- Samsung sm951 ssd 512gb

Geforce is a great gaming card but Nvidea's Quadro cards are top dog for CAD if you have money to burn. I went with AMD's Firepro m6100 cuz' I don't have extra cash for kindling. It has performed great,..very stable. I should mention that I opted for a Z-book mobile workstation. I have the need for mobility and today's mobile are every bit as capable as a desktop so why wouldn't ya'? Dock out and dash!!

17.3 Z-book
Intel I7 4960 hq
32gb ram ddr3
AMD Firepro m6100

Scrollin' and rollin' baby!!!!

Oh and;
Windows 7 PRO
Samsung 850 EVO SSD
Samsung 27 inch 1080p 2nd screen when docked and locked

We bought Identica Blue 2015 model with Artex Jig and Table that holds articulator.
Nice and fast. But the Artex Jig has big luft (very inacurate). We tested all 5 pcs. All have luft.
This is

Finally got the Blue 2015 2 weeks earlier then expected. With the Artex jig and table and without the inaccuracies. So far Artex plates fits perfectly and the table too, going to test them next week.

Does your jig has even no movement with splitex plate? You can see my video at the Facebook Medit Experts

Well I checked it today and yes the fitting on my Artex calibration table isn't 100%. But....... there is zero tolerance with the splitex models!
Don't know why the calibration table doesn't snap in place like the splitex models but I don't care.
I just need a 100% fix with my working models and in combination with the Artex articulator plate, it's giving me a super fast and easy bite registration. (Without any issues) I think , Identica did a great step forward with these accessories, it works great.
