Model #: tac-tac
TAC7
For Scanning Appearance Characteristics
The TAC7 color scanner captures and stores color, texture, gloss and other surface appearance characteristics of physical material samples.
Capture Materials with Unmatched Realism
Measuring a material’s appearance characteristics is critical to improving quality and accelerating time to market. By accurately measuring the appearance characteristics of physical samples, the TAC7 Scanner produces digital material files that can easily be communicated and shared across the design to production workflow.
Benefits:
- Capture physical appearance properties such as color, texture, gloss, translucency and transparency in a digital format
- Simplify the maintenance and upkeep of samples by utilizing digital material libraries
- Eliminate ambiguities with precise accuracy to improve product quality and communication with stakeholders to reduce design approval cycles and accelerate time to market
- Reduce the amount of time spent manually adjusting and correcting scanned materials
- Experience more accurate renderings and improved product quality
