The Cyberware MS (Model Shop) platform allows for a lot of flexibility in scanning inanimate objects. The platform has both cylindrical and linear movement. The length of the linear scan in X is from 10 cm to 1 meter. The range of vertical travel in Y is up to 1 meter. The cylindrical movement is a full 360 degrees. By combining the functions of cylindrical and linear scanning, any complex object, of theoretically any size, can be scanned. Data density is roughly a point every 700µm (two thirds of a mm).

The great majority of objects require multiple scans to get a complete 3D surface. With CyDir, developed by headus and now bundled with most Cyberware scanners, we align and merge the multiple scans to create the final complete surface.

For example, the above pig sculpture (scanned for "Babe: Pig in the City") came to us in five pieces: the head, two ears, body and a tail. Each of the five objects were captured with multiple scans and pieced together, in CyDir, to create five surfaces. A further 3D editing process combined each of the separate objects into the final complete Babe model.
