HP Announces New All-in-One Printer With The Capability Of Scanning 3D Objects

HP's TopShot LaserJet Pro is a small business printer ability to scan 3D objects. This all-in-one's overhanging arm with a high resolution camera, which combines six images (three with flashes from different angles, and three in ambient light conditions with different exposure levels) and compile them into one seamless image to mimic a studio-like product shot.

Also included are Google Documents integration and cloud apps as well as the usual ePrint and AirPrint features, which you can run without a computer on the 3.5-inch touchscreen.

Supported HP printers can now run HP ePrint Wireless Direct, meaning users can print from mobile devices via a peer-to-peer connection, all without the need of network or Internet access.

Users can scan photos and documents directly from a supported HP scanner to Facebook or Google Docs via their mobile phone, as well as being able to scan directly into an email message. The app can also monitor the printer’s status, so no one will ever run out of ink at a crucial moment.

The printer will be released in November, although no price or exact date has been confirmed.
