Scan fabric with lifelike texture results

If you are a fabric designer or a textile manufacturer you need to be able to successfully capture, preserve, and showcase a wide variety of your products. And the capture method should provide the most lifelike results and a high level of image quality.

Scan thin or fluid drape fabric

Scanning thin or fluid drape fabric with ease is possible with a contact-free scanning approach. This technique also lets you scan old or fragile fabrics and textiles – they will simply just go safely through the scanner without the risk of wear and tear.

A contact-free scanner, such as HD Apeiron/42, will have a large field of depth and can even provide the image with 3D surface effects. This allows fabric with uneven surfaces to result in sharp, contrasted and very lifelike scans.

Fabric with a flat and even surface can scan with only a shallow field of depth, and for this, a flatbed scanner is a good choice. See IQ FLEX for more information.

Double-up on delicate details

Your role as a designer or manufacturer requires you to be assured that your fabric scanner will pick up every little detail – and with the right scanner, you can now capture, store and showcase your design with a technology that 100% reproduces the colors of the original. A scanner with a multiple exposure scanning option furthermore produces images with instant extra high quality and an enhanced color depth.

A versatile scanner with various lamp positions in combination with the option for 3D surface effect provides a wide array of possibilities to translate the three-dimensional surface sensations from the original fabrics into your scanned images.

Software to scan fabric: Tailored for your ease of operation

When you scan fabric, your scanner solution should include a dedicated software that heightens the user-friendliness together with an adjustable touchscreen for correct ergonomics. The software should aptly support the unique way of working when using a contact-free scanner to scan fabric.
