iPhone 4S SIM card tray

3D Model

We decided to put Artec Micro, our high-precision industrial desktop 3D scanner, through its paces by scanning the SIM card tray of an iPhone 4S. Scanning such a small, thin object would simply be impossible for many 3D scanners. But with one click, in just ten minutes, Artec Micro was able to deliver impressive accuracy and quality with ease. The tray was mounted on Micro’s scanning platform. The dual-axis rotation system automatically repositioned it, and in just a few sweeps, the twin color cameras captured the geometry of the tray. The scanner’s incredible accuracy becomes clearer when you zoom in tight. Notice the wear around the ejector hole and see if you can find the tiny little chip on the inside edge of the tray, close to the top.
