Laser centering
For quick 360° animation setup

Before creating a 360° animation, it is imperative to perfectly center the product to be photographed. Without visual help this operation can be long and tedious.

To resolve this issue, we have developed a centering device by means of a computer controlled laser that draws a luminous cross over the product.

The user will thus only need to place the center of the object at the intersection of this luminous cross.

Lumipod
to photograph bottles

Taking pictures of bottles can sometimes present difficulties, especially if the liquid contained is dark. This is the case for most bottles of red wine that reflect everything around them, including the color of the floor on which they are placed. If the floor is light coloured, the wine in the bottom of bottle seems milky, if it is dark it becomes impossible to get a picture on a white background without reworking the image in post-production software such as Photoshop.

To solve this problem, ScanCube has developed the Lumipod, a patented system that holds the object to be photographed up, as if it were levitating.
This accessory is in the form of a lit column on which the user sets the product to be photographed. In the resulting photo this base becomes invisible.
This accessory is very useful to take photos of products on which the floor could provide reflections: bottles, flasks, jars, aerosols…
