I have been scanning life size statues and printing them.

Looks good! This is quite a large ‘model’ - what type of scanner did you use for it?

Can you explain how you scanned it and produced a printable model. Apps used etc…

I used the Sense Scanner from Cubify http://cubify.com/compare/scanners?gclid=CjwKEAjwitKtBRCt3uOYsY2v7FASJACJU5XsR4AUBWpvFrHIHHsiu5_GDcTuCCbb9NeW-iqw0oam9BoC41zw_wcB

then did my edits in the new 3dbuilder from Microsoft

Hey looks nice! How much time does it take to clean up the model?

Great thing about the Sense Scanner, it cleans as you scan unlike anything with the Kinect. Also no power cord. this scanner is powered off of the usb. as the scan is in progress you get directional feedback to allow a great scan with a bit of practice. This model was clean as it finished. the only trim I did was a plane cut at the base. and if you print the files I uploaded you will need no support material

I have ranged the funds for my next 3D scanner

Great result. Love to see more examples.

Sweet! You should upload your scans on @RamPrasad, that would be cool!

What are you using to scan? I’m wondering about buying Agisoft. Our David SLS is amazing but size limited.

Sorry dude, I just read the rest of the feed. The Sense scanner. I have a structure sensor and the David SLS but am still struggling to get high enough resolution scans of larger things. Ultimately I’d like to try printing some full color models on our Mcor paper printer. Ive done a few color models and they look great but I have not yet printed a color model that I scanned. Have you found any particular tips that improve your resolution (besides lighting)? Thanks for your time!

as I understand it the structure sensor is the same tech as my sense scanner. I use the advance settings and give the largest bounding box. This tells the software that you are shooting a small object. this makes better resolution large scans.

very cool
