3D Material Resources

Most likely! We export our xTex™ scanning system from our German factory to almost every country in the world.

Anyone needing to convert a physical material into an accurate digital material for use in a 3D workflow can utilize our system.

Our scanners are used by many different brands in the fashion, automotive and interior industries. CG agencies, garment and footwear manufacturers, and fabric mills are also among our clients.

Please call or write a message using the contact form linked below and we will send sales information for your country.

We also conduct convenient live demonstrations via web meeting.

For rental options, please contact us to see what is available for your region.

Our goal is to make digitizing materials for 3D workflows accessible for everyone. We developed xTex™ with this in mind to make the hardware and software as easy to use as possible. Our basic training which covers the essentials for producing high quality digital materials takes 1 day.

We offer basic and advanced trainings to make you an expert in material digitization. For professional users looking to prove their skills to clients and employers, we also offer a full certification program.

There are many ways to work with xTex™. If you need physically based textures of high quality, using our scanner along with our software is probably the best solution for you.

That said, it is also possible to use our software with images from other devices, such as flatbed scanners or digital cameras. While you will not receive physically correct depth or reflectance information with this method, you can still create and apply seamless materials very efficiently.

Scanner setup is very simple and only takes a few minutes with the xTex™ A4. Our larger xTex™ A2 device ships disassembled due to its size and must be assembled on-site, but our expert technicians guide you through the process via live video conference for a smooth installation.

Once the systems are set up, you may need to clean out dust and lint from the scanner drawer occasionally, but other than that, they are practically maintenance free and do not have any consumable parts that need to be replaced on a regular basis.

Resolution: From 340 dpi up to ~1000 dpi

xTex™ can capture most materials as long as the surface to be captured can be placed flat in the scanner drawer.

This means you may need to disassemble objects such as shoes to flatten the target area or use the larger xTex™ A2 for capturing from garments that don’t fit in the xTex™ A4 drawer.

A normal office environment is ideal.
