Sprout by HP Integrates Full 3D Scanning Capability

HP has revealed that its Sprout system, the world’s first immersive computer, will offer a 3D scanning capability. According to the company, it will provide users with a simple, quick and affordable way to create 3D content. The system will be equipped with Intel Real Sense 3D cameras, the HP 3D Capture Stage and capture software.

The 3D Capture Stage is a turntable with the ability to automatically tilt 15º to ensure full object capture. The 3D capture application works to generate a full model that can be manipulated and edited as needed.

For sharing models, Sprout by HP users can upload scans to an online 3D viewer and distribute files via social media. The company is also working with Dremel to establish an end-to-end scan to print workflow with the Dremel 3D Idea Builder.

“Sprout, HP’s onramp to its Blended Reality strategy, is the first step on our mission to deliver truly immersive experiences,” said Eric Monsef, Highly Immersive Systems, HP. “The innovative 3D Capture solution uniquely allows users to easily capture an object in 3D that can then be further modified, shared, and printed.”
