Most of us individuals are not experts at 3D designing and not all of us have the time or desire to become one. So, rather than designing an object from the scratch by using complex modeling softwares, one can rely on 3D scanning – an easy and time-saving method for capturing multi-dimensional models of objects. 3D scanning technology has been around for a while but until recently, 3D scanners have been used predominantly for industrial and professional needs. With the advent of 3D printing at consumer-level, the need for desktop scanners has increased more than ever. Accordingly, over the last  few years, 3D scanners have become more versatile, advanced, accurate  and  cheaper. Today, there are multiple options of affordable 3D scanners to choose from.

Let’s look at a few affordable desktop 3D scanners with their detailed specifications.

The MakerBot Digitizer is a popular 3D scanner due to the prevalent use of MakerBot’s existing line of 3D printers and 3D printing tools. The MakerBot Digitizer is a stationary 3D scanner designed for capturing scans of small objects. The compact design of the unit makes it very portable and together with its versatile and powerful 3D modeling software, one can easily capture and edit 3D models.

Objects up to 20x20cm can be placed on the rotating platform, while two class-1 lasers capture the details from all the sides using the multi-scan technology. Hundreds of thousands of the scanned points are then reconstructed into a mesh within the software. One can then clean and edit the models to make watertight 3D models that are ready to be 3D printed, or easily share with the 3D printing community via MakerBot’s Thingiverse.

The Structure Sensor 3D scanner by occipital was succesfully launched through kickstarter. At $379, it’s one of the most versatile and affordable 3D scanners around. It’s mobile design, as an attachment to an iPad, offers high portablility. The Scanner can capture dense geometry in real-time, with scanning resolutions as high as 0.5mm and with an accuracy of up to 4mm.

Like 3D System’s iSense, Structure Sensor only functions through an iPad’s existing camera. In addition to the Structure app, the ‘structure SDK’ allows users to develop new applications and hack the scanner’s sensor for a variety of uses. Using a few third-party apps that are already available, one can use this scanner to scan 3D maps of interior spaces, measure the dimensions of a room automatically, and play games where virtual objects can interact with real-world objects. The scanner attaches to any iPad, version 2 and up, with ease, and is incredibly simple to set up.

Structured Light Scanner Pro series  scanners are unique from other stationary or portable scanning devices as they rely on a projector based structured-light and an industrial HDMI camera with high quality lens for 3D scanning. These scanners are affordable and provide very high scanning accuracy in a matter of seconds. This 3D scanning method based on camera and lens is normally only available for Industrial-grade machines but HP has managed to bring it down to a consumer-level scanner.

The new HP 3D Structured Light Scanner Pro S3  , building off from the previous HP 3D Structured Light Scanner Pro S2  model is now available and can scan twice as fast as a Pro S2. Pro S3 stereo offers 0.05mm accuracy and a mesh density of 2.3 million vertices per scan – up from 1.2 million from Pro S2 . With the optional upgrade to the stereo package The HP 3D Structured Light Scanner Pro S3 scanner captures a scan from two angles at a time – by utilizing the additional camera as part of the stereo upgrade-  to produce higher precision scans.One can utilize the included software ‘HP pro’ to align and fuse the scans into a 360-degree model. Additionally, the ‘HP pro’ software supports other scanners such as laser scanning, and is also compatible with a variety of cameras. The scanner is portable and along with a optional turntable allows for a 3D scanning of all sides of an object, large and small (60-500mm in size).

HP Pro software is capable of editing OBJ, STL and PLY model files that can then be exported to other third-party software for further processing. The software is highly flexible and offers an integrated 3D viewer, so you can quickly review the results of a scan. The software supports other scanners as well, such as laser scanning, and is also compatible with a variety of cameras.

Fuel3D Introduces SCANIFY Mobile Package and Press-and-Scan

Fuel3D, which launched SCANIFY, an affordable handheld 3D scanner, at CES 2015, announced two new products to improve SCANIFY’s ability to accurately capture 3D models. The new products, SCANIFY Mobile Package and Press-and-Scan compund, makes the SCANIFY 3D scanner, winner of the 2015 CES Best of Innovation Award in the 3D Printing & Additive Manufacturing category, portable and eliminates the problems faced when capturing shiny objects.

SCANIFY Mobile Package

The SCANIFY Mobile Package comes with 4200mAh lithium-ion polymer rechargeable battery, cables to connect SCANIFY device to the tablet and battery pack, plus a free downloadable and editable 3D-printable mount to incorporate the mobile package equipment. The newly designed ‘Tablet Edition’ (32bit) Studio software works with any Windows-based tablet. The rechargeable battery included in the SCANIFY Mobile Package allows for 3 hours of continuous scanning. This package eliminates the need of a desktop or laptop as well as an electricity source to connect the scanner making it portable and flexible.Fuel3D Introduces SCANIFY Mobile Package and Press-and-Scan“With this development, we have given SCANIFY users the freedom to take 3D scanning to places where it just wasn’t possible before,” said Stuart Mead, CEO of Fuel3D. “Whether you’re exploring ancient ruins, visiting a sculpture exhibition, or hosting an event where guests are being scanned, SCANIFY can help you preserve your experiences in 3D.”

SCANIFY Mobile Package benefits:
  • Convenient: no PC/ outlet required, just you and your creativity!
  • Portable: battery pack and tablet combo provides complete freedom.
  • Exclusive: SCANIFY battery pack and supplied cables have been carefully tested and modified to work with your SCANIFY device.

“As a handheld product, SCANIFY has always been more flexible than most other 3D scanning systems, but we wanted to offer our customers the ability to go completely mobile by removing the need to remain tethered to a power supply,” said Andrew Larkins, CTO of Fuel3D. “By enabling a standard tablet and battery to be easily mounted onto the scanner, you can now take SCANIFY wherever you want!”

SCANIFY Press-and-Scan Compound

The SCANIFY Press-and-Scan compound offers solution to the most common problem that users face when capturing shiny, translucent or sharp edged objects. The soft, Play-Doh-like material creates clear imprints of such objects pressed into it. These highly detailed and clear imprints are then 3D scanned. Fuel3D Introduces SCANIFY Mobile Package and Press-and-Scan

This product is particularly well suited to applications such as reverse engineering, concept modelling and other industrial applications, where flat and shiny objects are most frequently scanned.

Press-and-Scan Compound Benefits
  • Explore new applications: scan impressions of shiny, reflective or very-dark objects that cannot be scanned directly.
  • Applies to professional and creative settings: Press-and-Scan compound leaves crisp and clear impressions of objects ready for 3D scanning.
  • Consistently delivers: compound sticks to itself leaving no mess and because it contains no moisture, never dries out!

“All 3D scanners face challenges when it comes to shiny, flat or reflective surfaces,” said Larkins. “With the SCANIFY Press-and-scan compound we are providing our users with an option to help them overcome some of these challenges.”

The new products, SCANIFY Mobile Package and a press-and-scan compound will be showcased at CES 2016 in January.
