Icy Dock 2.5″ & 3.5″ Serial ATA Hard Disk Docking Station

Ideal for backups, data transfers or when you need additional storage without the hassles and costs of external drive cases. Simply connect the Docking Station to either a USB port or an eSATA port and then plug in a drive – that’s it.

Use either a 2.5″ or 3.5″ Serial ATA hard drive – the dock will accept either. Simple plug and play allows you to swap out hard drives as easy as the memory card in your digital camera.

Not only that, but you can remove the stand, plug in a 2.5″ SATA hard drive and you have an instant portable hard drive – the Icy Dock even comes with a carry case to protect your drive when you are on the move.

With a 2.5″ Serial ATA hard drive installed, the Icy Dock can even be powered off most USB ports, negating the need for a power supply. The Icy Dock Drive Dock is both Macintosh and Windows compatable.

MicroScribe 3D Digitising System

After a brief absence during the transfer from Immersion, the original manufacturer to RevWare, the MicroScribe is back.

Still the fastest way to create in 3D, the MicroScribe has become the favourite tool of choice for animators, 3D designers, reverse engineers, product designers and anyone that needs to capture three dimensional data from physical objects to a virtual environment.

Available in 2 physical sizes and 2 accuracy classes, the standard models offer 5 degrees of freedom (5 DOF) with a further choice of an additional 6th dimension for stylus rotation.

The 6 DOF models are especially useful when coupled with the laser scanning attachment from RSI for a complete non-contact laser scanning solution for 3D applications at a fraction of the cost of comparable 3D laser scanners.
