The pitfalls and potential of inexpensive 3D scanning solutions

Tech —

Ars puts five home 3D scanning options to the ultimate test—scanning kids and clay cats.

Bill Loguidice -

  • The Matter and Form 3D Scanner with an example of an ideal object to capture. There’s a removable plug in the center of the turntable bed that features a threaded socket for a tripod mount to help hold unstable objects in place.

  • The scanner folds up for easier and safer transport.

  • Calibrating. My placement of the lamp so close to the camera proved a no-no. I eventually moved the scanner to a location with bright, indirect overhead lighting, which proved far more successful. As long as the object is evenly lit, with minimal shadows, the scan result should be a good one.

Laser triangulation solutions: Matter and Form 3D Scanner

The premise of laser triangulation technology is to collect a series of profiles from a projected laser line, and the Matter and Form 3D Scanner exemplifies this. At $519.99, it works with Windows and Macintosh computers over a single USB 2.0 connection. Once unfolded, connected to AC power, and then connected to your computer, you calibrate the scanner per the software’s instructions using the included Calibration box. More so than any other solution in this roundup, proper lighting conditions are crucial for this scanner’s proper function.

Once properly calibrated, you place your object on the turntable and tell the software whether it’s a mostly single-colored object or a multi-colored object. The former can take minutes, while the latter can take hours. If you wish to tweak the settings, manual controls are available, but usually the automatic settings work just fine.

As the scan progresses, a laser line is focused on the object as the turntable slowly rotates and the scanning carriage (camera) moves vertically on its track. It's quite noisy when it moves the scanning carriage up and down, but most of the rest of the time there's just a gentle whirring.

  • A scan of the clay cat in progress.

    Bill Loguidice

  • After scanning the clay cat from two different positions, it was time to merge the two scans.

    Bill Loguidice

  • Note the stray artifacts after merging the two scans.

    Bill Loguidice

  • The cleaning and cropping options. Red indicates stray objects that I’ve marked for deletion. It’s nice that the included software provides a one-stop shop for almost everything you’d want to do with a scan.

    Bill Loguidice

  • Zooming in and changing the background color can help with the cleanup.

    Bill Loguidice

  • After cleanup, it’s time for the software to do final processing.

    Bill Loguidice

  • The final digital model, both clean and with impressive detail. As long as you get the lighting conditions just right, the Matter and Form 3D Scanner excels with mono-colored objects.

    Bill Loguidice

It’s recommended that scans are taken from at least two different angles: the first with the object positioned normally and the second with the object facing down. This positioning allows for a more complete scan of a particular object, with the software doing a fantastic job of automatically merging the two captures.

Once satisfied with the scan results, it was time to combine the two scans and then clean the models. Through a combination of manual and automatic processing, I had what appeared to be a reasonably clean model, which I exported to STL. With the STL file created and looking good, I sent it to print. The end result was excellent.

Bill Loguidice

The most difficult part of working with the Matter and Form 3D Scanner was getting the lighting right. I found that going into the multi-color scan option allowed me to see what the scanner was seeing and adjust my lights accordingly. After that, I went back into the calibration process before beginning a new scan.

Another difficult part was figuring out whether to tell the scanner that the object was single-color or multi-color. The included frog toy, which you should use to get familiar with the scanner’s functionality, is mostly green, but it does have black and white eyes and a red tongue in a black mouth. After being dissatisfied with the single-color results, I went for multi-color. The digital manual does include a flowchart to help guide your decision, but it's still a bit confusing. (Frankly, anything that requires a decision tree to figure it out is probably overly complicated.) In any case, as with the other aspects of 3D scanning in general, trial and error will lead you to the best results for your particular object. In the end, I was certainly satisfied with the reproduction of my clay cat model.

While this should have been one of the better scanning processes, the requirement to have near-perfect lighting conditions sours the experience a bit. When you are able to get good lighting and a good model, the resolution and detail is comparatively impressive and makes for nice 3D prints, particularly if you don’t mind doing further edits. The fact that the included software is mostly self-contained, with good ease-of-use and just the right feature-set, is also a nice bonus that some of the other solutions in this roundup should take note of.

If you’re looking for an alternative to the Matter and Form 3D Scanner, check out the Shining 3D EinScan-S 3D Scanner. It’s about double the price but also a bit more versatile.

Laser triangulation solutions, option two: XYZprinting da Vinci 1.0 AiO

The XYZprinting da Vinci 1.0 AiO is a mid-range 3D printer with a heated bed that makes use of XYZprinting’s proprietary printing filament. There’s also a built-in 3D scanner with software that works with Windows and Macintosh computers. Similar to the Matter and Form 3D Scanner, you start by placing the scanning target object on its turntable.

As with other scanning solutions, lighting is critical, but in this case you can simply turn off all direct sources of external light, plug the two side vents (which need to be open when 3D printing) with the included plates, close the printer door, and let the internal lighting system do its thing. Before starting your first scan, you also have to calibrate the scanner using the included chessboard calibration plate. But once calibrated, you’re ready to scan.

The maximum allowable weight on the turntable is 3 kgs (6.6 lbs), and the object's dimensions (diameter x height) must be between 3x3 cm (1.18x1.18 in) and 15x15 cm (5.9x5.9 in).

After scanning, you have rudimentary editing options, including artifact removal and smoothing. For my test capture, I didn't need to remove any artifacts and didn't need to smooth. Once satisfied with the basic model, I sent it to XYZware for printing.

Bill Loguidice

Once loaded in XYZware, it asked to repair the model, which is referred to as making the model "water tight." This necessary step for 3D printing ensures there are no holes in the model, which would cause the print process to fail. Once the model was successfully repaired and imported, I selected all of the default settings and did no further edits other than changing the print quality to maximum to help ensure the highest quality reproduction.

  • Configuring the print settings.

  • The software “slices” the model and generates removable supports for a successful print.

    Bill Loguidice

  • The final model, printed in ABS, prior to removal from the print bed and clean-up.

    Bill Loguidice

  • Although the basic shape was captured, the final output (right) lost a lot of the original clay model’s (left) details. While the printer would be able to replicate the model’s detail, the scanning process itself would require a lot of additional editing to provide suitable output.

    Bill Loguidice

Because everything was self-contained, this was by far the easiest scanning process and the quickest way to print. Unfortunately, as you can see from the end result of the scan, this is still a long way from a copy machine. In fact, multi-colored and objects with a lot of black gave the da Vinci 1.0 AiO even more of a problem. As such, despite the promise of its workflow, the models it captures require more editing than many of the other solutions in this roundup to better match the quality of the printer.

For an alternative to the da Vinci 1.0 AiO, you may want to check out the Aio Robotics Zeus. It's sleeker and more feature-packed, but it's also more than double the price at $2,237.37.

Conclusion

As it stands, personal 3D scanning requires far more of a commitment than even 3D printing, which has itself made great strides in usability and overall ease-of-use in recent years. For now, 3D scanning is best left to those who can make a serious hobby out of what this potentially fascinating technology has to offer. As is evidenced by many of the products in this roundup, usability and ease-of-use have progressed a lot, and they should continue to make big strides much like 3D printing has.

Regardless of the specific model tested, the one issue I consistently ran into was one of lighting. I can't stress enough the reliance of today’s technology on good lighting conditions. Perhaps even more so than learning how best to process your scans, learning how to light your subjects is vital to overcoming the peculiarities of your chosen scanner.

While I've touched on a lot of personal 3D scanning technology today, this quintet literally just scratches the surface of what’s out there. A good way to get an even better handle on the technology and some of its possibilities is to check out the models on Sketchfab. (You can also see many of the models that I captured for this piece there. )

If you really want more of a taste for 3D scanning, another interesting initiative to investigate is the “Scan the world” project, which gives 3D printer owners (or those who want to use a 3D printing service) access to famous and unique art pieces through 3D scanning technology. It provides a great example of what can be achieved with higher-end equipment and good editing skills. Hopefully, it's also a glimpse of what will eventually become the reality for lower-priced, more consumer-friendly solutions.

Top 13 3D scanners on the market!・Cults

In the past, 3D scanners were mainly used for industrial and professional applications. For example, scanning architectural objects or creating digital models for films. As technology advances, the price continues to drop. Now, 3D scanning gives the average person the ability to custom-make just about anything they want. With more affordable prices, 3D scanning is becoming more accessible to consumers for personal use. nine0003

But first, a basic overview of 3D scanning:

A 3D scanner scans real objects and passes the image data to a 3D modeling program. The object can then be manipulated in the software and - if desired - exported and created on a 3D printer.

1. Select any object (or person!) you want to scan

Why is 3D scanning useful?

Imagine if you could scan your body and see how clothes fit and look online before you order them? 3D scanning technology can do just that. For example, bodylabs uses 3D scanning to understand how products will work for customers based on their body shape and posture. nine0003

2. Scan it and customize it in 3D modeling software

After scanning the object, you can reduce the size or edit it with free 3D design software. You can then choose to 3D print the edited file.

3. Export your model and print it in 3D!

After scanning the model and editing it to your liking, you can export it to .stl format and send it to a printer to bring it to life. nine0003

We have listed the 3D scanners below in ascending order of price (from cheapest to most expensive). Their rating does not necessarily reflect our judgment of the quality of the product. We've included some handy YouTube videos that go into more detail about each product.

1. XBox Kinect 3D Scanner - $95 USD

If you want to get by on the cheap, there are ways to use your old Xbox 360 or Xbox One Kinect device to get great results! If you have a Kinect. nine0003

2. iSense 3D Scanner for iPhone/iPad - $99

This scanner was developed by 3D Systems as part of the Cubify family. Although they don't sell 3D printers anymore, they keep their 3D scanner in the market. Like a structure sensor, iSense attaches to an iPad or iPhone. Its range of motion is 0.5m more than the Sense.

3. XYZprinting 3D Scanner - $139

XYZprinting 3D Scanner is the cheapest portable 3D scanner on the market. At under $200, it's perfect for anyone looking to get into 3D scanning on a budget. nine0003

The size of the scanner is 60 cm x 60 cm x 30 cm, so it is best used for small items. It also uses the new Intel RealSense image capture software, which means it can connect to any Windows device with a 4th generation Intel processor.

4. BQ Ciclop 3D Scanner Kit - $199

This open source hardware project has been released under an open source license so that all mechanical design, electronics and software information is available to the community for further development . The full package costs about 199 USD. You can even download the design and print it in 3D!

5. Structure Sensor for iPad - $379

Arguably the best scanner on the market, the Structure Sensor was developed through a Kickstarter campaign that attracted over 3,500 people and raised $1. 2 million. Structure Sensor turns your regular iPad into a 3D scanner that captures three streams of data at 30 frames per second.

6. Cubify Sense - $399 USD

Cubify Sense is a portable pen scanner that makes it easy to manually scan 3D objects. This makes it possible to use Sense in quite unique areas, with both advantages and disadvantages. Sense is compatible with Windows and Mac OS.

7. Matter And Form MFS1V1 Desktop 3D Scanner - $467 USD

The first ever crowdfunded 3D scanner, Matter and Form, is a Toronto-based company that has raised nearly half a million dollars to develop this product. It uses a 3D laser scanner with a movable camera head and a 360-degree rotating platform. nine0003

MFS1V1 generates a detailed point cloud, which again works very well in some scenarios and less well in others.

8. XYZprinting Da Vinci 1.0 Pro 3-in-1 3D Printer - $810

Da Vinci 1.0 Pro is both a 3D scanner and a 3D printer. It uses a laser diode module with a 2 megapixel camera (higher resolution than 1. 2 megapixel iPad scanners). Please note that this machine uses proprietary 3D printing consumables. nine0003

9. Einscan-S - $999

Einscan-S has two scanning modes: automatic and free. The first one is the easiest: just place an object on the rotating surface of the Einscan turntable and the machine will scan it in just 3 minutes with an accuracy of .1mm. For large models, free scan mode works by rotating the scanner on a tripod around the object. Einscan-S generates one STL file that can be sent directly to your 3D printer. Einscan-S produces 3D printable models with greater accuracy (using "Light Structure Phase Shift Technology" instead of lasers) than competitors, providing industrial quality 3D scanning technology within a consumer's budget. nine0003

10. IIIDScan PrimeSense 3D Scanner - $1441 USD

Greater accuracy comes at a price. This tripod-mounted 3D scanner is unique in that it uses a short-range image sensor capable of scanning 3D objects in more detail and at a faster rate than other scanners on the market.

11. Fuel3D Scanify - US$1,500

This is a very high speed handheld 3D scanner capable of capturing an object in less than 1/10th of a second. In this regard, it differs significantly from the other 3D scanners on this list. In practice, it's more like taking a 3D photograph than manually scanning an object. Fuel3D Scanify uses a dual HD stereo laser camera combined with photometric data from three xenon flashes to create reasonably realistic 3D scans in the blink of an eye (so to speak). High tech. nine0003

12. NextEngine 3D Scanner HD - $2,995 USD

The NextEngine 3D Scanner HD combines portability with very high accuracy - much better than the scanners at the top of this list. Of course, the higher the accuracy, the higher the price! It uses an electro-optical system with a laser array that scans in tandem. The advantage is that the high-precision scanner has no size limits. The scanner comes with its own mesh creation software package, and you can also check out their NURBS and Solid modeling packages as options. nine0003

This is the scanner for those who want to get really serious results from their 3D scanning efforts. If you check out the gallery on their site, you can see how much more detailed NextEngine scans are compared to some of the cheaper scanners on this list. Of course, these are the company's own comparisons for marketing purposes, so feel free to take them with a grain of salt!

13. DAVID SLS-2 Laser Scanner - $3,275

The scanner is expensive, but it has a unique use of "light scanning". The company boasts that you can scan everything from insects to elephants. We are told that the SLS-2 can scan 1.2 million peaks in a few seconds. Blimey! nine0003

What if none of these scanners work for you? What if you want the best of the best? What if you have several thousand dollars set aside for a 3D scanning budget? If you happen to be in this position, take a look at some of these bad guys...

Arctec Eva 3D Scanner - $19,800 (CAD 26,300) dollars)

Creaform HandySCAN 700 - 56 9$00 (CAD 77,700)

This is our list of the best 3D scanners on the market. We hope you find it useful.
