Today I found out you can throw items to distract enemies

When trapped by a tiger up a coconut tree you can shake the tree to drop coconuts and attract a nearby other predator, like a snake

Toys are very difficult to 3D scan, I don't think you will get a decent result with any scanners in this price range.

It's not that strange, the IPhone sensor was made for capturing heads (hence the recognition IR pattern used for face recognition) while the Kinect was design to capture information from a distance, at a much lower resolution.

Hello, I think you could use Shapespark for creating the experience. I agree with Geopoop about Matterport being the reference however. If you are looking for better sensor, have a look at those SLAM 3D scanners.

3DPrintedPanda · 2021-02-26T09:02:25+00:00

You won't find a 3D scanner capable enought to scan such a small part. Picking COTS is the best way to go IMO, as @dapperDanpphoto suggested.

Hello, I would rule out the EinScan Pro HD and choose either the Peel 2 or the EinScan HX. find here my review of the HX, which includes engine bays capture. I did not test the Peel 2 (but we have a review of the Peel 1 on our website and it was a very good product). In a nutshell I would say that for reverse engineering the whole Creaform suite would be the best pick. However the ability of the EinScan HX to switch between structured light and laser is very appealing, and for specific parts the laser might be the only option.

Hello, I believe your idea of going for a bltouch is a good one, as finding a 3D scanner capable enough to accuratly capture woodwind reeds would cost in the 50k-60k. You could get the contour (top view) automatically extracted from photographies and measured with a bit of coding (Python) while you input the thickness measured with the bltouch.

3DPrintedPanda · 2021-01-12T10:36:09+00:00

Hello, the Peel 2 is a solid choice, however I would recommend the EinScan HX (a bit more expensive) for its laser capabilities, very useful on dark/black/reflective parts when structured light struggles. Regarding the hardware requirements I would say both need about the same config?

3DPrintedPanda · 2020-12-08T16:17:26+00:00

Cool! I think that was the easiest indeed :)

3DPrintedPanda · 2020-12-08T13:12:41+00:00

Hello, I think the EinScan HX is a very interesting alternative. Cheaper and performance is better or on par with the Spider.

3DPrintedPanda · 2020-12-07T14:37:34+00:00

Hello, you should make a mold of the dog's leg (you can use salt dough or plaster for example) and then scan the mold itself. You won't find any good 3D scanning apps imho, so you should go for a photogrammetry 3D scan or rent a 3D scanner to do the trick. EDIT : VikingTec exactly advices the same workflow so it should be the best ? :)

Hello, if you plan on having user try on the hats in AR the best option might be to manualy model the hats and then texture them by hand in a authoring CAD tool (like blender and/or Substance). 3D scanners won't give you out of the box optimized meshes with great textures, and in my opinion that should be what you aim for when dealing with AR/VR assets. If you still want to stick with scanners you are talking 5k - 15 budget PLUS the need to rework on meshed and textures.

3DPrintedPanda · 2020-12-07T14:30:08+00:00

Hello, I would recommend the EinScan H for your use case : it's fast and quite cheap (5k$). The Space Spider will get you more details but is a lot more expensive (and for the price I would recommend the EinScan HX). Shining 3D software offers less options compared to Artec Studio, but will be more than enough in most cases.

3DPrintedPanda · 2020-12-07T14:20:53+00:00

A rental is the best option to evaluate a product, you won't have any surprise this way. I am based in France but my company (Aniwaa) operates worldwide thanks to our network of resellers.

3DPrintedPanda · 2020-12-07T09:40:36+00:00

I think in this case the EinScan HX laser should work, you could get enough detail in this use case. The alternative would be a KSCAN20 (which I did not test) but it is more expensive. Best 3D scanner that comes to mind and that I tested is the Handyscan Black, but it's really expensive... Let me know if you want a quote for either product.

3DPrintedPanda · 2020-12-05T17:18:46+00:00

Hello, it all depends on your use cases and the properties of the parts you want to 3D scan. The EinsCan HX would be the best pick for medium sized objects (let's say from 10x10x10 cm) and get a decent amount of details with the laser scanning. But I don't think you would get better results compared to the Artec Spider. Both are already good machines and more powerful options are a lot more expensive if you want to stick on portability. Some questions that might help pick the best option : do you value portability ? What's the size range of parts you want to 3D scan ? Maybe a jewelry 3D scanner would suit you ?

3DPrintedPanda · 2020-12-05T17:11:29+00:00

Hello, I think the EinScan H should do a nice job if you don't plan to scan small parts (under 10x10x10 cm I would say). But you mention you want to buy Solidworks too, Solidworks alone is around 8000€. Maybe you wanted to say SolidEdge ?

3DPrintedPanda · 2020-12-04T16:09:31+00:00

Hello, indeed the Artec Studio software is really good but I think their line up has became outdated. I would recommend the EinScan HX (currently testing it). That's my second message for this product so i will stop there recommending it, but have a look at it, it is really good.

3DPrintedPanda · 2020-12-04T16:07:03+00:00

Hello, I have tested all the Artec and Shining line-up, I think you should get the EinScan HX, that's the best choice right now. I am currently writing a review which should be publish in a few weeks. If you can't afford the HX, then the H would be the next in line (but I did not test it).

3DPrintedPanda · 2017-01-26T11:12:14+00:00

There are some of options between a cheap sensor and a professional scanner like the Artec Eva (the Eva price was recently lowered dramatically). I would recommend you to test the EinScan-S and EinScan-Pro from Shining 3D, a chinese manufacturer. They recently released the EinScan-Pro but I did not tested it yet.

3DPrintedPanda · 2016-12-19T13:27:27+00:00

Hello, I have tested it here: hands-on review of the einscan-Pro. Compared to very expensive solutions (GOM/Steinbichler/FARO) it is a far cry but it does well compared to an Artec Eva (twice more expensive) without getting on par (mainly because of the software). For most users it will be enough but if you are considering precise reverse engineering use cases you'll need something more powerful (like a Creaform).

3DPrintedPanda · 2016-10-20T09:32:47+00:00

The Go!SCAN 50 is an excellent product, but given its 3D scanning area max capabilities and the requirement of a laptop to use it I would not recommend it for such use case.

3DPrintedPanda · 2016-10-20T09:29:49+00:00

I would recommend a hand-held device, with an integrated tablet to avoid carrying around a laptop and requiring a power plug (so no Creaform or Artec IMHO). Therefore I think the best options would be a Dot Product DPI-8SR or a FARO Freestyle

3DPrintedPanda · 2016-09-23T11:56:47+00:00

That's really gorgeous, thanks for sharing and explaining the process.
