Kinect Scanning with ReconstructMe
I built a new PC for Christmas. The fast PC and great video card make ReconstructMe and the Kinect work very well together. I built a rotating platform so that […]

I am now both controlling the rotating platform on my home made 3D scanner using Python and also capturing all 400 images in the same Python script. My next project […]
This is a work in progress. I want to put most of this explanation out now and I will keep adding figures and working on the details. Feel free to […]
Now posted to Thingiverse for download. Now things are getting serious! This is about the best result I hoped for with my 3D scanner project. I realigned and re-calibrated my […]
Here is more progress on 3D laser scanning since my previous post on the subject. This device is based on high school geometry, both in understanding the relationship between line […]
I have been experimenting with 123D Catch and VisualSFM to try to see if I can manage to reliably create a mesh by photographing an object on a rotating platform. […]
I have improved my 3D laser scanning most importantly by focusing the laser stripe on the scanned object. I used lenses from CVS or Dollar Store reading glasses. I tried […]
I made significant progress on my DIY 3D laser scanner. I am now controlling the rotating platform and a webcam directly from a Python script on my Windows 7, 64 […]
I am using acrylic sheets as my 3D print surface. I have tried many other types: glass, ABS slurry on Kapton, blue painter’s tape, and Kapton on aluminum (described at […]
For my next 3D Scanning / Printing project, I am building a home-made laser scanner. The inexpensive ones cost around $1500, and I really think that the underlying principle of […]
