Hi friends,
I dropped off a 3D scanner in the studio. It’s in the cabinet under the printers by the window. Please check it out and play around! I found it really pretty fun, but it does take some time to get the workflow down - be patient!
It works best with complex geometry with distinct landmarks, like a human face! It does struggle with flat, symmetric and shiny objects. So for example scanning an unfired pot would work well, but it would be difficult after glazing
There are some little reflective dots in the case. If you are having trouble processing the scan, just slap a few on the surface of the object.
I found if you are scanning a human, I found it works well to just put the device on a tripod and spin them around in a chair. There’s a tripod in that same drawer.
Maybe we can make some fun halloween themed things hehe
Here is the software, you will need a fairly beefy nvidia GPU to process the scan data: Einstar Software Download : Einstar Support
Here is an example of somebody we scanned and printed for a model when we were planning some facility layout changes ![]()
