The high definition NextEngine 3D Laser Scanner is available at the HSHSL Innovation Space. There is no preset size limit to what can be scanned, as objects larger than the scanner's field of view can be assembled with its software.

This section contains information about NextEngine including links to technical specifications and documentation, and a step-by-step guide for scanning a physical object.

Manual

The NextEngine manual is available as a pdf file (7.14 MB).

*NOTE: While the manual provides useful information, the document contains errors (missing text, links that don't work, and layout problems). We recommend you start with Chapter 3, pages 33 - 63, as this content is consistent and describes how to use the NextEngine system.
