Things which work well with the Fuel3D scanner: In terms of what the Fuel3D can and can't scan, we've listed some of examples in our Whitepaper (). We will be looking at ways to increase this as we are still configuring the final design. Currently however, (in the prototype systems) this is approx 35cm in the diagonal, so think A4 paper size (or US letter!). Again, the area of capture through this range will be confirmed on the technical blog post. We are currently bringing together a detailed response to this question in a blog site post that will soon be uploaded here: Īs a rough guide for now though, the capture range 'depth-of-field' is from around 35 to 50cm from the camera.
Thanks for your in depth comment CarterTG,
Forget the current baloney with stereoscopic images. Instead of snapping old-timey digital PHOTOGRAPHY, the 3D scanning camera will shoot a scene and the file gets uploaded to grandma's computer where she can use her browser to trapse through the scene (VRML?) Then comes the 3D scanning camcorders. Much like how the first photography camera sparked its revolution. Thinking about 3D scanners now has me taking a broader view and envisioning the day some company will cram the processing power, the memory, the optics into a palm-sized device and spark the next generation of true 3D cameras. This won't provide solace to missing certain rare opportunities. Fuel3D's answer to an incomplete scan might be "aim better, scan again". Some gadgets are so thoughtfully designed, it can be operated shortly after it's picked up for the first time. That's the scanning noob in me asking what might be obvious. Someone was hell-bent on that triangular design above all else, huh? The sketches don't show a targeting reticle/viewfinder to provide feedback on whether everything is under the scanning envelope. (Form 1 made such a claim and has failed miserably)Ĭoncern #4. The questionable scanning range and how it'll react with translucent gems and shiny metals will factor heavily into suitability for jewelers. For the jewelers amongst this crowd, a 0.5 or even 0.25mm resolution is not likely enough to scan gemstones for virtual mounting. If this scanner can't offer a better/smoother workflow for 360 degree captures, all the other scanners mentioned in this thread are back in the race.Ĭoncern #3. How smoothly will it be stitched? Again, sheer speculation at this point since Uformia has yet to develop this.

The Fuel3D's promise of stitching a multi-angle scan in downstream meshing software is just vaporware until proven. The Fuel3D's scan-target requirement and single-shot scan is a mild bummer that pushes it more into the basic DIY category than waving around a game-changing Creaform. Can it scan a bee? Can it scan a car?Ĭoncern #2. The subject matter of the sample scans seems to indicate so far only close objects.
Zero mention anywhere of distance-to-object range(s). There are however some questionable omissions not found in the Kickstarter campaign.Ĭoncern #1. We could address any feedback or questions you might have on here.Īs someone who was once wondering if his pickled liver (non smoker, garaged, runs good) or any other organ was barter-worthy for a $35k Creaform 3D scanner, I've got no issues with the Fuel3D pricepoint.
