Sense 3D portable 3D scanner can “scan” a person

Now 3D printers are becoming more and more common. Of course, after these devices began to gain popularity, manufacturers began to think about the creation of 3D-scanners, allowing to get a large digital copy of an object. In the future, you can either print a copy on a printer, or simply save it for better times, for another purpose. True, the bulk scanners are still expensive.

So, perhaps the standard of this type of device is the Makerbot Digitizer for $ 1,400. At the same time, the scanner's capabilities are limited to an object size of 20.3 centimeters. What to do if you want to get a three-dimensional model of an object whose dimensions exceed the capabilities of the scanner?

This problem was tried to be solved, and the solution seemed to be quite interesting. This is a Sense 3D scanner. The price of the device is $ 400, which is a bit compared to other 3D scanners.

The scanner, according to its creators, works fine in the case of any size of objects, up to the size of a person. The device itself comes with proprietary software, which, after processing the received image, produces model files in the format of STL and PLY.

These model files, according to manufacturers, can be used for “printing” on virtually any 3D printer. The scanner connects to a device running Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 via USB 2.0.
