I am trying to figure out how to do full body scans in order to print them out on a Projet 660 Pro printer. I have one Sense scanner and can get some more as well…I think there is a way to rig up several of them ?

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

A sense scanner will be very tedious way to do a body capture. Part of the success of capturing a full body is for image to remain still. Even breathing can distort a good capture. Another challenge is maintaining a consistent distance. It is possible, just very time consuming and a high failure rate. I say this from experience and not to discourage you. Based upon my experience, I am in the midst of building my own full body 3d scanner. I have seen a variety of setups from 70 DSLR, 100 Canon power shots, webcams, pc cams, Artec, Sense, etc. My decision was a pc cam base, much of the decision comes down to speed, quality and expense. Think you can get 2 of 3, but 3 of 3 is elusive. Best of luck.

Hi, I’ve just recently bought a Structure Sensor and have made some scans using Itseez3d and so far I’m really pleased with the sensor and ease of use for the quality it produces. I would like to edit the scans for even more detail and to crop out unwanted sections but have had no luck finding information on the workflow or tutorials on how to apply the texture from Itseez3d. From what I’ve found so far, Meshlab and Blender seem to be the most popular free software for editing so I’ve downloaded them and have been following some youtube tutorials and can import, clean up and manipulate the mesh but nothing that details applying the patchwork texture from Itsee3d which is a major problem. The texture doesn’t automatically show up when importing as ply, obj or wrl so it looks like I’ll have to go through the additional steps of adding it myself which is far from intuitive and the steps seem to be different from working with the textures of other scanners/apps. Based on the lack of info its almost as if there is hardly anyone using Itseez3d which is surprising…unless I’m looking in all the wrong places. Any advice on how to do it or where I can find the info would be greatly appreciated.
