Looking forward to getting ours, soon!
I would like to believe this but something wrong with the setup 1 how do you scan the top and bottom and 2 what happens when it’s not in the centre when scanning
The centering is not an issue. As for the top and bottom - that is a known problem with any kind of scanning system like this. The solution, generally, is to reorient that part and scan again (and again and again as needed), and then join the meshes together.
Don’t you think the scanner would work better if the scanner went around the subject and over the top ?
I think, I will wait until this comes out
The NextEngine scanner has that feature as an add-on option. But I think you still have to join meshes.
Dose scanner 2 have a way to adjust the scan when it’s going around the subject and what is …meshes ?
For $600 I expect not to have to link meshes. As it is software that costs on scanners not hardware… …
The joining of meshes with the NextEngine is mostly automated - but you do have to pick the alignment points. It doesn’t (at least based on what I saw in a demo) automatically create a fully joined mesh from multiple passes without some human participation.
I can see it would have to work out the distance from the subject to the scanner and move the scanning head backwards and forward .
Thanks for the hyperlink Joseph
I am excited for this, and the 600 dollars pays for development of both the software and hardware. The bom is rarely 50% of the price, typically %30 in a low volume industry.
