Harnessing the power of smartphone for 3D scanning

by Nancy Owano , Tech Xplore

What would you think about turning your smartphone into a scanner? Sydney-based eora 3D is looking to make that quite possible. The eora 3D scanner is designed to work as an add-on for iPhones and Android—the smartphone powers the scanner— and is now up on Kickstarter, being offered at $229. The estimated delivery is June.

Commenting on potential interest in such an offering, 3ders.org made the observation that many in the making community place 3D scanners high on their wish lists. Scanners let them make 3D printable digital models in a flash and use them as part of the creative process.

The people behind this device are Australian entrepreneurs Rahul Koduri, Richard Boers and Asfand Khan. They did not have to search very hard for inspiration. Needing a scanner with suitable precision, they were looking at a $20,000 price tag and they decided that was ridiculous.

They wanted to find out if they could build an iPhone-powered 3D scanner on their own for far less, said. Rahul Koduri, eora 3D cofounder, said they had found that scanners which were suitably precise cost tens of thousands of dollars, and the ones that were affordable were not, in their view, suitably precise.

SlashGear commented on what they were able to achieve: "The team behind the product says that using the power and optics of a smartphone they were able to spend more money on a green laser for the scanner without pushing the price out of the affordable range."

Asfand Khan, cofounder, talked about the app, where you just open it and press scanner. It can automatically adjust focus and exposure The eora 3D app is free to download from the iOS App Store and Google Play Store. A typical scan takes three to five minutes, said Khan.

The Eora 3D is also compatible with Android in addition to iOS and connects via Bluetooth 4.0 .It can make scans up to a precision of sub-100 microns, which 3ders.org considers "a truly amazing" level for a portable scanner. The article assessed the most remarkable feature, the green lasers. "If you've ever seen a 3D scanner in action, you'll know that red lasers are commonly used. But digital camera CMOS sensors (like our eyes) are twice as sensitive to the green spectrum as they are to red. "

The green laser, said Khan, lets you scan in any lighting conditions.

The chassis is a single piece of extruded 6061 aluminium.

So far things are looking good for the team. Out of an $80,000 goal they have jumped over the top with 29 days still to go and have garnered $177,519 in pledges at the time of this writing.

Where do they go from here? "We've been working on developing the eora 3D Scanner for over a year," they stated. "We've tested it countless times, learned a ton, refined the design and continue to make it better. Hardware is always challenging." They said they developed many aspects of the hardware and software to ensure there are no blindspots in planning and forecasting shipping deadlines.

"We are in the process of testing and manufacturing the eora 3D scanner at scale. The Kickstarter campaign helps us gauge precisely how many units we'll need to manufacture."

Eora 3D - 3D object scanner based on iPhone

Portable, mobile, compatible with flagship models of all brands and capable of recognizing individual parts down to 100 microns. Project Eora 3D collected not only a worthy list of awards, but also a solid start-up capital - a lot of people wanted to get a home laser scanner.

The concept is simple, if not primitive - a low-power, but ultra-precise laser beam "highlights" the relief of the scanned object, and the smartphone camera captures the image. The bottom line is in the details, in the description of Eora 3D it is directly stated that the central element of the system is a radiation generator in the green region of the spectrum. This is due to the peculiarities of the device CMOS-sensors, the lion's share of which recognizes green shades twice as accurately as red ones. Such is the peculiarity of the perception of colors by human eyes, camera designers simply went to meet the needs of consumers. And since it is the smartphone and its optical system that are the central elements of this scanner, the laser beam is green. nine0005

There is no need to talk about the aesthetic side of the issue, if it were possible to install a red laser, which is three times cheaper than a green one, the authors of the startup would have done just that. By the way, in existing industrial 3D scanners, these are used, but there are completely different working conditions. The camera of a smartphone works perfectly outside the sterile workshop, in the open air, in conditions of uneven lighting, etc. In addition, the gadget itself, like the iPhone and its Android competitors, is a common device accessible to the average person. This means that you can save on special sensors and make a scanner in the format of an accessory for a smartphone. Which is what was done. nine0005

After installing the communicator in a clamp, with a variable length of the rod, it forms a single transmitter-receiver system with the Eora 3D , and the touch screen acts as a control panel. The process is 100% automated - when the platform rotates, an area of up to 1 sq. m. with a scanning depth of up to 1 m. If the object does not fit into these frames, the system allows you to create several separate images, which are then glued together using special software.

At a laser beam wavelength of about 520 nm, there is a guaranteed recognition of a relief difference at a level of 100 microns; the resulting three-dimensional digital model can have up to 8 million individual vertices. Together, this allows you to realistically convey both the texture of the surface and its colors.

Complex 3D objects that need to be scanned from all sides are placed on the Bluetooth turntable. True, its diameter is only 125 mm, and the maximum height of the scanned object is limited to 200 mm, and the device itself must be purchased separately, but the trouble is the beginning. The authors of the startup promise to optimize the production process and reduce the cost of all products as they receive funding. And as a bonus - membership in the 3D Hubs community with $10 to your account. Money can be spent on the services of its representatives, because 3D objects are scanned not to admire the pictures, but to study and reproduce them on the appropriate printers. nine0005

On the question of the price of pleasure - due to the natural hype, all sets for early birds have long been dismantled, the cost of Eora 3D starts at $229 for a regular scanner and $289 for a set with a Bluetooth stand. Judging by Kickstarter statistics, the startup has already raised almost 5 times more than the requested funds, and if everything goes according to the announced plans, the first scanners will arrive to their owners by the beginning of next summer.

In a short time, the Revopoint MINI scanner project has collected more than 1 million USD and continues to actively collect orders. The Revopoint MINI scanner works both via Wi-Fi and OTG connection to a smartphone and tablet. The original software from Revopoint allows you to process the received arrays of points and form models ready for printing. nine0005

The stated scanning accuracy is up to 0.02 mm. A blue laser diode was used as a light source. The scanning frequency is 10 FPS, which allows you to transfer the collected data without delay via a wireless connection via Wi-Fi.

The main unit weighs only 160 g, which allows the scanner to be used with both light tripods and 3-axis stabilizers.

Scanner works with marks, with frosting spray. The high accuracy of the resulting models allows you to work not only with machine components and parts, but also with jewelry. The scanner will be useful for reverse engineering, for surface control and deviations, for restoring 3D models and assemblies. nine0005

Can be used as a handheld scanner or as a stationary scanner. The Revopoint MINI extended package includes a turntable and a handheld gimbal as options.

Currently available are Early Bird options for the standard kit (Revopoint MINI laser scanner), and extended Early Bird Premium options for supplying a stabilizer and a rotating platform in addition to the scanner. Prices are about $399 USD and ~500 USD (on the site the price is indicated in HKD). Delivery to the Russian Federation is paid separately and costs approximately 25 USD. The shipment of the first batches is scheduled for August 2022. nine0005
