3D Scanners

Are there any members who have a 3D scanner? Any problems using it with the Robo? What scanners are recommended?

 

I'm on the hunt for a good scanner as well. Can anyone recommend a good quality, reliable scanner? Price isn't really a consideration as I'm willing to pay for quality hardware etc. thanks in advance for any info.

Steve the link seems to be broken . If you are talking about the cubify sense, I followed that on kickstarter but decided against it because it's finer details capability wasn't all that great. It would be great for scanning larger objects but for things like a mechanical fitting or small part it didn't stack up.

I will probably end up buying something like the sense for larger objects but would really like to find a scanner that will allow me to scan small things.

The way it works in my head is, why should I pay $1 an item at the local hardware store for a garden fitting when I can buy 1, scan it and then print as many as I want for a few cents..... Now all I need to do is find the scanner that can scan in high res

Rick ....search the web for MATTER FORM.. I think you can find it there,

Well I just went and purchased the matter form, thanks Steve, looks good.... If it ever arrives I will do a review. $633.85 including shipping to New Zealand wasn't too bad at all

I purchased one several days ago. We will have to compare notes once we get it. You live in New Zealand?

 

I wouldn't hold your breath on that one. I have been waiting over a year for that since they offered it on Indiegogo.

Cost then 429CAD

 

We all can cancel the orders anytime we want to if we find something better

This thread has not been on for a while , but i'm looking for a 3d scanner. Any recommendation for a 3d scanner ?

 

Ive looked around, and from what I can tell they are all pretty much useless for any kind of detailed scanning unless you spend 5k. The quality is so poor that it would be better to buy the cheapest POS you can and just use the rough scan it will give you as a base to edit.

If there are any good ones under 1k I havn't seen them.

 

What is the difference in components in the expensive ones? Is the laser more powerful or is there some sort of extra component that allows for the greater detail? Perhaps you could get that part to make a cheaper one better. It's a matter of understanding the technology. More to learn!

 

what do you recommend for a cheap POS brand ?

 

I really haven't gone deep enough to recommend any particular one. I take a look when I see a new one and get annoyed when I see its quality just kinda isn't what I need Much of it depends on what you want to scan. Again, anthing even approaching sun 1k is pretty much craptastic IMHO

 

My kinect is working but I still want a turn table to scan an object to see how well it does. I had my wife turn while I held the Kinect and it looked pretty good.

 

I was looking for a 3d scanner as well.
followed a lot of googles.
stumbled into this page

http://www.aniwaa.com/3d-scanners/compare-3d-scanners/

and I bought one.
+'s precision. price. color. (importing into a 3D game as a 2nd use)
-'s long delivery time. 6.5" max (that's what she said)
I'll post scans when it comes.
