The threeRivers Virtuoso is ideal for applications requiring fast, reliable and user-friendly 3D scanning in various industries including education, industrial design, art & heritage and entertainment & CGI. Its specifications for resolution, measurement envelope, speed, and accuracy are meeting the demands of the industry.
Education
The threeRivers Virtuoso is a useful learning tool for educational institutions; particularly among novice users studying Graphic and Digital Arts, Engineering, Medical, Science and Architecture. Its scanning technology allows users to quickly and affordably scale, archive, restore or rapid prototype various objects, all within a classroom setting. The threeRivers Virtuoso 3D scan equipment will not only keep institutional facilities current with technological standards of the field, it will also provide students a hands-on learning experience vital for application in work environments.
Industrial Design
The threeRivers Virtuoso is ideal for capturing both freeform and organic shapes. It allows industrial designers to conceptualize designs, output 3D models using CAD software and configure designs to meet precise specifications. The scanner is useful for analyzing products original design intent, redesigning defect-free parts or products, or creating new parts from legacy parts and handmade prototypes. The threeRivers Virtuoso 3D scanner speeds up product design and saves money by cutting production time and material costs while improving aesthetics.
Arts & Heritage
The threeRivers Virtuoso scanner provides the most field-efficient means of data collection. Whether you’re observing fine art or ancient artifacts the threeRivers Virtuoso will preserve the objects original form. Artists and Archeologists alike can use scan data to examine works in close proximity. The threeRivers Virtuoso’s scanning technology can preserve art & cultural heritage by outputting scan data from solid living images in the form of virtual restoration. The retrieved data can be archived for preservation, reproduced for market or researched for study.
Entertainment & CGI
The versatility of the threeRivers Virtuoso 3D scanner makes it the product of choice for a wide variety of applications in the entertainment industry for CGI (computer generated imagery). The scanners can be used to make realistic “life-like” special effects in movies and video games. This method is much easier and less time consuming than using a 3D modeling software on a computer that can potentially take hours or weeks to complete.

About Rapidform XOR / Redesign
Rapidform XOR, the only 3G (third-generation) reverse engineering software, is a complete software application for creating CAD models from 3D scan data. With Rapidform XOR, you can open Virtuoso data quickly and create editable, parametric solid models of virtually any physical object. These models can be transferred from XOR into popular CAD applications, including SolidWorks®, Siemens NX™, Pro/ENGINEER®, CATIA® V4, CATIA® V5 and AutoCAD® with complete feature trees intact. This means that – unlike second generation reverse engineering software – the models from XOR are editable just like any other part designed in CAD. And XOR can save models as Parasolid®, STEP, IGES and STL for use in any CAD/CAM/CAE application. The third-generation parametric reverse engineering approach inside XOR makes creating high quality, ready to manufacture CAD models fast and easy. Creating complete solid models accurate to within a few microns of a 3D scan takes less time than redrawing it in CAD. XOR, paired with a 3D scanner, is simply the fastest, most accurate way to create a design model of a real-world object.
