A way to start or pause the scan from the scanner itself, rather than using the keyboard, also would have been beneficial.įrom the left: a 19-inch tall figure, the 3D scan, and a 3D print produced on a MakerBot Replicator.Ī bigger problem is that the scanner struggles with some objects - particularly, shiny, transparent or extremely matte-black ones. A wireless connection (such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) would have been preferable here, and would have made the scanner more flexible. This means that when scanning a large object (such as a person), you have to carry both the scanner and the computer around as you scan, or buy a USB extension cable. For example, the attached 6.75-foot (2-meter) USB cable isn't long enough to move the scanner very far from the computer. Pressing the space bar again restarts the scanning process, so you can check the scan and then continue. This modeled object rotates with the scanner, but you can pause it (with the space bar) and rotate around it with the right mouse button. While the scan is in progress, the software creates a rough model of the object that is painted in as it detects the shape. You can then try to reacquire the target by matching a ghost image of the last capture with the live overlay on the screen. If you are too far away, or it looses track of the object, you are notified with a beep and an on-screen note in the software.

The scanning process is fairly simple: You start the software and choose the size of the object, with options for a person (head and shoulders, or full body), or for a size range: from small (at least 8 inches, or 20 centimeters), to large (up to 10 feet, or 3 meters).Īs prompted by the software, you point the scanner at the object, hit the space bar and walk around it, following a series of on-screen prompts that try to keep you the right distance from the object, and track the object as you move.
