A New Kind of 3D Scanner
Matter and Form THREE lets you scan an astonishing range of object sizes - 3D scan a coin or a car- with metrology-level accuracy and resolution. THREEs unique ChromaSpec technology uses the full spectrum of visible light to perfectly capture geometry and any colour.
THREE is the world's first 3D scanner with fully onboard software that runs in any modern web browser and on any operating system. Use THREE with ANY device that supports Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge web browsers.
THREE connects to your network with WIFI or Ethernet and provides software through its built-in web server. THREE stores your scan projects in its internal storage. There is no software to install, no cloud service, no subscription fee, no wire attaching your computer to THREE, and no internet connection required. Everything you need for incredible 3D scanning is self-contained in THREE.
THREE is also a fully-functioning edge computing device with popular programming tools integrated. Supported by open source projects and a full API, you can develop your own computer vision and scanning projects, and THREE will run them for you.
Scan Any Size
Most 3D scanners have a restricted object capture range, so you need one scanner for small objects, and a second scanner for large objects, and maybe even a third scanner for medium-sized objects. Not anymore. THREE gives you powerful projected light and focusable, high-resolution cameras, so you can rely on THREE for practically any scanning job, regardless of the object size.
Whether you're reverse-engineering a discontinued mechanical component, modifying a gaming miniature, capturing a sculpture, or creating content for your 3D printer, THREE is your versatile 3D scanning tool.

Awesome Colour Capture
THREE’s breakthrough ChromaSpec™ algorithm uses the full colour spectrum to detect and process different-coloured areas of the object. With THREE, most of the time you won’t need to worry about scan sprays. Instead of messing around, trying to get the settings just right, THREE lets you quickly get the scan you need, and keep your project moving forward.
A Revolutionary Software Approach
THREE's software is built-in. There's nothing to install on your computer, and you don't need a powerful gaming computer either. THREE is a pure pleasure to use with an iPad, or Linux, or a Chromebook. Windows, IOS, MacOS, Android, all good. Whatever you have that runs a modern web browser will run THREE!
THREE runs its own web server and WIFI hotspot, and stores your scan projects internally. To make it even easier, you can connect THREE to your network with WIFI or Ethernet. Then, open your web browser and connect to "http://matterandform.local"
Matter and Form have been building 3D scanning software for the past 10 years. We know how to make complicated processes easy to understand. THREE is accurate like the best of the best metrology scanners, but easy enough that a middle school student can get up and running in a few minutes.
Full API and Edge Computing
THREE is probably the most versatile 3D scanner ever made, with an incredible range of capturable object sizes and a full API. That's awesome by itself, but THREE is also (as far as we know) the ONLY 3D scanner in the world that is an edge computing device. You can create your own 3D and 2D computer vision and 3D scanning programs and THREE will run them for you.
Supported with open source projects and powerful plugins like JupyterLab and Python, THREE is your opportunity to get into the exciting and expanding field of 2D and 3D computer vision and automation systems.
With a full API, you can control THREE remotely from your computer, or a robot, or a robotic arm, or maybe even combine it with Home Assistant. Your creative possibilities are endless! Whether you're a vision professional, or a student taking your first steps in machine vision, THREE is an amazing tool with the support you need.
THREE is packed with cutting-edge optical technology including an ultra-bright MEMS mirror based DLP projector and two Sony 13 megapixel optical sensors. THREE has its own CPU and integrated GPU, and it stores and maintains your scan projects within it's built-in 16GB memory.
