FAQ | Shapify

General

1. Why Artec Shapify Booth?

Artec Shapify Booth features a fully automated process for creating 3D files. Use it to set up an innovative, lucrative and scalable business.

2. What is special about your software?

It’s the only software on the market that can process full body 3D scans automatically and quickly. Just compare the Shapify’s 15 minutes of automated cloud computing to create a 3D printable file with at least 2 hours of highly skilled work spent by a 3D modeller on every file made using photogrammetry or any other scanning solution.

3. I’ve heard of photogrammetry scanning solutions, but how does Shapify Booth work?

Unlike photogrammetry the Shapify Booth uses real 3D scanners. This is what has allowed us to create software which automatically creates printable 3D files.

4. What do I need to do to operate the Booth?

I. Front office

1. Meet the customer, check he or she is wearing appropriate clothes for scanning, recommend removing shiny clothes, jewelry, black shoes and glasses. Explain the process and ask the customer to hold still for 12 seconds while being scanned. Type the customer's name (or e-mail) into the system.

2. The customer stands in the booth. You click on the "Start" button and make sure the customer doesn't move during scanning.

3. After scanning, wait with the customer until the preview picture is ready. (About 5 minutes). Meanwhile discuss delivery options with the customer.

4. Make sure the preview is good and that the customer likes it.

5. Store the customer's name (e-mail), chosen delivery address, size of figurine and number. (This can also be done during step 3)

6. Charge the customer.

7. The printable 3D file will be available to order or download on your Shapify.me online account within 15 minutes.

II. Back office, via the booth operator’s online account at www.shapify.me

1. Log in to your personal account at Shapify. me. If you want to print the figurine yourself, just select the model and press the “download” button.

2. If you want to order printing with Artec, please make sure your printing account has enough credit.

2. Go to Gallery, select the required model(s), enter the delivery address, number and size of figurine(s).

3. Click on the "order" button.

Please see the video for a visual explanation

5. If I install a Shapify Booth, will it carry your brand or mine?

The branding on the booth itself cannot be modified apart from in exceptional circumstances. However, if you decide to use an exterior pod or structure for the booth, you can create your own design or use the Shapify design. In both cases, the design should be harmonized with us for technical and marketing purposes.

6. Is the Shapify Booth portable?

Yes. Shapify Booth it is the most portable and easy to deploy automated 3D scanning solution on the market. However, the booth should be assembled and calibrated by an authorized maintenance partner; this is about 4-5 hours’ work for a two man job.

7. So there are 3000 3D model files included in the Optimal business model. But what if I just need to re-scan a customer?

We don’t count scans, we count the processed 3D files you choose to print or download. You can scan your customer as many times as necessary, this will be free of charge.

8. What’s in the box? What is included in the price of the booth?

10. Does the booth have to be connected to the internet? Can’t the file be created locally, on the booth computer?

Yes, the booth has to be connected to the internet since all the calculations are done in the cloud.

11. My client’s data will be transferred to the cloud. Is that safe?

A lot of information, from the photos on your iphone to your credit card details, is sent to and processed in the cloud. All data on the Shapify website and in the Shapify cloud is encrypted and safe.

12. Can Shapify Booth scan a couple or 3 persons together?

Yes, it can. Just remember that the more people are scanned together, the more difficult a job it is for the software, since everyone makes some slight movements even if they trying to keep totally still, and if there are several people in the booth, the volume of movements will be higher. So achieving a perfect scan of multiple people will be a little more difficult - although we have plenty of success stories!

13. What is the approximate processing time for one full body scan?

You (and your customer) will see the finished preview in about 5 minutes. Based on that, the customer can decide whether they like the scan and wish to purchase the printed 3D shapie. The hi-res fully processed file should be available in about 15 minutes on your personal account on the Shapify.me website

Of course!

16. What are the installation requirements?

You’ll need a space of at least 3.3m x 3.3m, ceiling height at least 2.8 m. For electricity you should have 220V and 2500W. We recommend a fast Internet connection of 8-10M. Don’t forget you should also have a Windows laptop or a desktop to run the Shapify software. It doesn’t need to be powerful, though, all the heavy work is done in the cloud and on the Booth PC.

First 3D printed wedding

Not so long ago, I decided it was time to start a family. Of course, this happened only thanks to a fateful meeting with a girl whom he loved with all his heart. I can write a lot about the fact that the wedding changed my life for the better, about how the date we chose accidentally fell on the “red hill”, but this is not the point now…

HOW did I use 3D printing on my wedding?

It all started when my (at the time) fiancee and I decided to create and use our own logo on invitations and nameplates on tables. Creating it turned out to be quite simple thanks to the designer, whom we easily found on the freelance site. Many people know that I work in one of the 3D printer manufacturing companies, so the thought immediately arose: “Let's make this logo 3D and print something on a 3D printer!”. Despite the fact that I have a lot of 3D printers in my office, the company does not print, and I am focused on other tasks, so I ordered printing from one of the partners who has a 3D printing service. nine0003

Inspired by the idea of a 3D wedding, we did not yet understand what we wanted to get in the end, but the idea itself seemed quite interesting. After meeting with a decorator and having a long conversation about how to decorate the hall, my fiancee and I found a use for a 3D printer!

What did we decide to print?

The first thing we did was the Eiffel Tower. It may seem banal, but it was at its foot that I made proposals to my future wife, for us this tower has become a symbol of our future union. nine0003

Secondly, we printed something that is present at every wedding - a box for envelopes. In our case, for postcards with wishes. The size of the chest allowed guests to put Euro-format postcards with wishes inside, which we have saved and sometimes re-read with pleasure.

The next thought came from a conversation with a decorator about decorating table napkins with a beautiful brooch. “Why buy something if you can make something unique yourself,” I thought, and we decided to use 3D printed models when decorating tables. We brought ideas to life! nine0003

I ordered 40 medals to be printed. This is exactly what was needed to decorate the place of each of the guests.

Photo of the original model - it was easy to give volume to the vector "flat" logo. Two letters B and M (Vlad and Marina) in a neat oval and nothing more.

This is how it became more clear what the future product will look like.

And finally, I have the finished product in my hands! Hooray! Ready!

Having received all the 'medals', we decided to give them one of the colors of our wedding. Since we did all the decoration in blue and gold colors, we chose gold for the medals. nine0003

It was not difficult to buy a can of paint, but it was even easier to paint... My beloved wife painted it herself... She did not spare the paint))

After painting, it was necessary to make it so that it would be convenient to tie the napkin. The usual tape from the store for decoration and glue moment were very useful to us.

Well, the photo of the result.

It turned out really very stylish. The color theme of the wedding was sustained. Aesthetics and exclusivity - on the face! And most importantly - most of the girls and women at the wedding, having removed the medals from the napkins and tied them on their hands. It was nice. nine0003

Do you think we stopped there?

Of course, all of the above was not enough for us. We decided to decorate the bride's bouquet and the groom's boutonniere with our branded 'medal'. Everything turned out to be very simple and, it seems to me, very beautiful!

For this, medals were needed a little smaller than for table decor - and this is understandable. We also painted them in gold color - we must also withstand the general style.

Having done this, we were again puzzled by the question: what else can we think of?. .. And we found the answer to our question. nine0003

It's not a secret for anyone that usually two bottles of champagne are placed on the table, which are traditionally drunk on the wedding anniversary and on the birth of the first child. It is customary to decorate these bottles somehow. We visited several stores and searched the entire Internet in search of jewelry that we would like ... But we did not find it ... In the end, we made it ourselves! These bottles fit perfectly into the home interior and are waiting for their time to come. By the way, my wife decorated it herself, on the night before the wedding itself.

Another of the wedding traditions is the kindling of the family hearth. Again, candles are usually decorated in some way... This time we decided to use our branding too! And again, thanks to my beloved wife - if not for her - we would not have such candles!

And it's all?

It may seem that very little was done. .. However, all this gave us a lot of positive emotions both in preparation, on the wedding day, and for several months after - because we continue to admire the preserved handicrafts. And it is especially pleasant that most of everything is made with my own hands, mine and my beloved wife. nine0003

3. We conclude an agreement where all the details of cooperation are spelled out, after which you make a payment and we proceed directly to work.

4. First, specialists model

figurines according to photo in special programs, achieving maximum similarity between the appearance of people and future products.

5. Together with you we coordinate the model, if necessary, you can point out those elements that need to be changed or replaced. We will make adjustments. nine0070

6. When all layouts are approved, we start printing.

We use a professional 3D printer to print human figures ProJet® 660Pro. After that, a little additional processing follows, and the figures are ready.

Standard orders for 3D copies of people we fulfill within 7-10 business days. But if you need to get them urgently, we can print the figurines in 2-7 days. The cost of fulfilling an urgent order will be higher, but you are guaranteed to receive it faster. nine0003

2. Colleagues, managers, directors. You can easily order

figurines from the photo of people from your staff, create a mini-composition in the office and more.
