Fuel3D — A Remarkable Handheld, Hi-Res, Colour 3D Scanner On KS

With the strap line “Fire up your creativity!” it seemsFuel3D,新的经济适用3D扫描仪背后的公司已经在那里,并鼓励我们加入他们。

The company launched its Kickstarter campaign late last week in a bid to fund production of the Fuel3D handheld scanner and it seems they have pitched it rather well because the $75k target has already been exceeded, and then some. At time of writing pledges total $166,408, with 26 days still to go.

巧妙的名字扫描仪正在滴答滴答all(即:不仅仅是其中的一些)产品范围内的合适盒子以及扫描仪的当前状态以及Fuel3D背后的团队的凭证可能与成功的关系也有很大关系。

With the earliest development phases of the technology that has evolved towards the Fuel3D scanner dating back to 2005, out of Oxford University, there is an unstated guarantee that this product has not just been thrown together and flung up on Kickstarter on the back of the overt attention that the 3D design/scanning/printing industry is getting.

Fuel3D手持式扫描仪声称可以与竞争性产品竞争15,000美元的竞争优势,价格不到1000美元。这必须与产品的目标市场(通常是独立的游戏开发人员,设计师和艺术家)相处得很好,他们以前被定价在市场上。

So what is Fuel3D offering?

该团队指出,他们已经开发了fuel3d为手持式扫描仪,并具有简单的刻度和3D成像系统,可捕获极高的分辨率网格和物体的颜色信息。另一个声称是,这是世界上第一个将预校准的立体相机与光度成像相结合的3D扫描仪,以几秒钟的时间捕获和处理文件。报告的系统能够解决由大量物理和颜色测量值组成的全3D表面,随后可以从任何方向看待,并用作3D打印或用于屏幕上操纵的源材料。

With the fully functional prototype established and working, the Kickstarter campaign has been launched to enable the final engineering work and to further develop the software to make access to the high quality 3D data as easy as possible.

第一批次批次的交付日期定于2014年5月提前投标。此外,Fuel3D至关重要地意识到与低成本高质量3D打印机的协同作用,并指出他们目前正在与两者进行对话雷电竞app下载formlabsand Pirate3D regarding future technical and commercial collaborations.
