Matter and Form Portable 3D Scanner
Description
- World's first truly affordable 3D scanner
- Compact, portable, lightweight and fully assembled
- Scan items up to 190mm x 190mm x 250mm
- Captures approximately 2000 points a second
- Moving HD camera head with dual lasers
The Matter and Form Portable 3D Scanner is the world's first truly affordable 3D scanner. Make your ideas a reality and fast track the design process. Designed to slide smoothly into your workspace. Keep your scanner and workspace neat and clean with an integrated case that protects both the turntable and the camera. Simply fold up the base when not in use. No other protective or storage case needed. Create watertight 3D models within 0.25mm of the size and detail of the original object. Scan items up to 190mm x 190mm x 250mm in size while capturing approximately 2000 points a second. Software saves files as .STL, .OBJ and point cloud .PLY files for maximum compatibility. Watch real-time scanning as your item form as a point cloud (a set of data points that represent the external surface of your object) in as the scanner does its thing.
High quality scans made easy
A moving HD camera head with dual lasers and a rotating platform makes scanning three-dimensional objects easy, fast and accurate. After a one-time set up, simply place an object on the scanner, click a button to scan and watch it go.

The system does what you expect from it. It supplies quite accurate 3D-scans. Unfortunately the software controlling it is not very mature yet, and you do not have access to the system settings. This means that you have no way to speed up the scan (by decreasing the accuracy or resolution). The color scan works quite well. To take a color scan of a cylinder of 5cm in height and 3cm in diameter takes about 1.5 hours! We are looking forward to software upgrades that also allow us to take quick (less accurate) scans.
