Presentation
NeWay is a sophisticated 3D optical scanner for the no contact acquisition of three-dimensional shapes.
The technology it uses is called active stereo vision: structured light patterns are projected on the surface of the
object and acquired by two video cameras. As the image belows shows, an object (on the right) is hit by the
projection of light patterns for 3D reconstruction.
Advanced image processing algorithms retrieve depth data of the acquired surface. This approach guarantees high
performances, flexibility and fast execution.
NeWay was specifically created to operate successfully in the dental field. The whole scanning phase is
computerized and is performed with the aid of a rotating table that allows the acquisition of different views of the
object.
Thanks to this system, you can digitize model, dies, impressions, articulators etc, very quickly.

Trasport
The buyer’s personnel can install the 3D scanner in the operating area after reading this manual.
As soon as the buyer receives the machine, he/she will have to check that the components have not suffered any
damages during transport, if any are noticed he will have to notify the carrier and the manufacturer immediately.
The scanner is in a protective cover made of a foam polystyrene shell placed inside a cardboard box.
When using the machine for the first time special attention must be paid to anything that might seem to have an
irregular operation and, if the case, contact Open Technologies S.r.l. immediately, reporting the anomaly.
Storage Conditions
If the 3D scanner is not installed inside the buyer’s premises but it is stored:
•• outdoors - suitable covers and precautions must be arranged to protect the components of the machine from
weather conditions (rain, snow, fog, humidity etc.).Check periodically for any damages that might take place in
the course of time.
•• indoors - no special precautions are required but just periodically check that the machine is stored correctly and
the environmental conditions below are respected:
TEMPERATURE
( -20 ÷ +45 )°C

Detailed Description of the Machine
The 3D scanner has a solid external structure. All the covers are integral part of the tool and must not be removed or
tampered with in any way so not to compromise the correct functioning of the apparatus.
The power connection and the power switch are on the back of the scanner. The frontal part of the scanner is the
access point to the scanning area framed by the optical head.
The optical head lodges the opto-electronic components for the acquisition of the object surface.
NeWay's optical head comprises two black-white video cameras and a DMD projector. The set up of these three
components allows one single scanning field.
Any other application not present here has not been contemplated by the manufacturer and, therefore, cannot
be performed.
Repairs and/or Safety Devices
The 3D scanner is fitted with external metal panels and plastic covers, which keep electrical parts (feeders) out of
reach.
The electrical motors for the movement system and the projector electric supply work on low voltage (24V).
The manufacturer declines any responsibility arising from accidents deriving from partial or total removal of
the protective panels.
