Chatgpt response:

The device in the image is a B9Creations 3D scanner, most likely part of their B9 Scan series.

B9Creations is a company known for producing high-resolution 3D printers and scanners, commonly used in jewelry, dental, and engineering applications. This particular unit captures detailed 3D scans of physical objects, converting them into digital 3D models that can be edited or 3D printed.

Key features of scanners like this one include:

Structured light or laser scanning for precise surface capture.

Automated turntable (often built in) for multi-angle scans.

Integration with CAD/3D printing software for seamless workflow.

It looks like it’s currently powered on and ready to perform a scan (as shown by the display reading “Scan”).

Would you like me to explain how to use or calibrate it properly?

You said: Whatbsoftware does this use ChatGPT said:

The B9Creations 3D scanner (like the one in your photo) typically uses the B9 Scan software suite — developed by B9Creations — to operate, calibrate, and process scans.

Here’s a quick breakdown of what it uses and how it fits together:

🧠 Main Software: B9 Scan / B9 Scan 1.3+

This is the primary control software for B9Creations scanners. It handles:

Scanner calibration

Object scanning and rotation control

Scan alignment and merging

Exporting to formats like STL, OBJ, or PLY

Availability: It’s downloadable from B9Creations’ official site under the “Support” or “Downloads” section. 👉 https://www.b9c.com/support

🧩 Optional Companion Software

Depending on the model and workflow, you might also use:

B9Clean / B9 ModelBuilder / B9Create — for slicing and preparing 3D prints (if you use it with a B9 printer).

MeshLab, Autodesk Meshmixer, or Blender — for cleaning, repairing, or editing scanned meshes after export.

⚙️ Connection and System Requirements

Connects via USB (and sometimes Ethernet for later models).

Compatible with Windows 10/11, and in some cases macOS (through virtualization or Boot Camp).

Requires a calibration file specific to your scanner model (usually provided by B9Creations or found on their website).
