Dear all, I too would like to know what are good 3D scanners. I have seen people use Microsoft Kinect for 3D scanning an object. Here is a video of it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQPTxiK-Crw I think that 3D scanners will come down in price eventually. The Kinect is cheaper than commercial scanners though it is slightly of lower resolution. I noticed the Creaform (http://www.creaform3d.com/en/metrology-solutions/handheld-portable-3d-scanner-goscan-3d) and the Artek 3D scanner (http://www.artec3d.com/hardware/artec-spider#specifications) are almost similar in technology and resolution. Maybe it is better to get whichever is cheaper.

Slice <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MORPHMET] Information on 3d portable scanner Replying to the list... Hi, Anna! No, I am not familiar with that. For the grant that secured the HDI, we also included the purchase of the similar Artec hand scanner (http://landing.artec3d.com/?keyword=artec%20scanner&gclid=CNHLk8TL3skCFUQ2gQod2YQMTQ) for archaeological field work, but did not get enough money for both. For our lab, the table-top seemed the best choice. I have used (well, minions, you know...) the Artec hand scanner some years ago and it was a bit flaky, but worked. I understand now that folks are using it quite successfully. I wish we had one. I might can refer you to someone if no one on the list has info. -ds On 12/15/15 2:12 PM, Anna Loy wrote: > Thank you Dennis! > > Do you have any info regarding the portables CREAFORM? > > Best > > Anna > ———————————————— > Anna Loy > Dip.
