- Attblime AB Zero 3D Scanning SprayAttblime AB Zero is a solvent-reduced 3d scanning spary and therfore is particularly useful for use on sensitive surfaces such as 1k paint or sensitive plastics. It sublimates it 1-2 hours, giving ample time to 3D capture an object, before vanishing completely off the object without the need for wiping afterwards.
- Attblime AB2 - 2 Hour 3D Scanning SprayAttblime AB2 is a is an evaporating 3d scanning spray that will sublimate within 2-4 hours, giving the user a genuine 2 hours of scan time. It is extremely fine with a 3 micron layer thickness.
- Attblime AB2-G - 2 Hour 3D Scanning Spray 1 LitreAttblime AB2-G is a is an evaporating 3d scanning spray that will sublimate within 2-4 hours, giving the user a genuine 2 hours of scan time. It is extremely fine with a 3 micron layer thickness.
- Attblime AB2-G - 2 Hour 3D Scanning Spray 5 LitreAttblime AB2-G is a is an evaporating 3d scanning spray that will sublimate within 2-4 hours, giving the user a genuine 2 hours of scan time. It is extremely fine with a 3 micron layer thickness.
- Attblime AB6 - 6 Hour 3D Scanning SprayAttblime AB6 is a is an evaporating 3d scanning spray that will sublimate within 6-10 hours, giving the user a genuine 6 hours of scan time. It is extremely fine with a 5.75 micron layer thickness.
- Attblime AB6-G - 6 Hour 3D Scanning Spray 1 LitreAttblime AB6-G is a is an evaporating 3d scanning spray that will sublimate within 6-10 hours, giving the user a genuine 6 hours of scan time. It is extremely fine with a 5.75 micron layer thickness.
- Attblime ABP - Semi Permanant 3D Scanning SprayAttblime ABP has been designed specifically to meet the needs of optical 3d scanning technologies with the all new cooperative gray colour which is optimised for easy scanning in comparison to traditional white sprays. A homongeneous 7 micron layer thickness allows for accurate and consistent scanning results.
- Attblime ABX - 3D Sublimating Scanning Spray - Up to 2 hrsATTBLIME® ABX High is an optimised high performance 3d scanning spray that matts a surface in perfect white, making it perfect for optical metrology systems to quickly and easily capture surfaces. It sublimates in 1-2 hours giving the operator ample time to capture small to medium sized components, before dissappearing completely from the surface of the component.
- Attblime Battery Spray System (Large-Area Application)The Attblime battery spray system allows for the independent application of the AB6-G, AB2-G, and ABP-G scanning sprays without the need for compressed air connections or any power cables, making it easier and more convenient to use.
- Attblime Spray System (plug in)The Attblime spray system allows for the independent application of the AB6-G, AB2-G, and ABP-G scanning spray without the need for compressed air connections.
