Cubify SENSE 3d Scanner for 3D selfies

ONEDGE · 2015-03-12T11:15:44.000Z

Hi,

Every scanner technologies have pro and con. We usually print with our ZCorp many object directly 3d modeled and textured in software, but when we have to print scanned objects, we need to do a little pre-process for achieve the best result with really nice colors, and of course we have developed a method to finish our print, that extract colors like no other method. If you are interested you can contact me, i can print your models and support you in every steps. Of course i can offer you a 50% discount on a sample, just send me your test file.

Regards,

Fabio

I’ve got old Z510 and I have toyed with an idea of scanning people and printing miniatures of them. I’m looking for budget solution to this as I’ve spent most of my money when I bought my other (new) printers last year.
I was pleasantly surprised with result when I scanned a teddy bear with Kinect 360 using demo version of Skanect software but I didn’t print it. I still haven’t made up my mind on the subject and if there is some other reasonable budget solutions I’m extremely interested in them.

Hi,

We’ve been scanning and printing with Sense and ZCorp and, to be honest, there is a curve of learning you need to go thru.

First, Sense will be good only for head and shoulders. The info taken for a whole body is not good enough for a product that you plan to sell to someone…

Since Sense does all the reverse engineering for you, closing all the holes you may have left in the model (and other problems you might have), you have to know in which parts you have to pay more attention, such as ears, neck… Even a haircut can be problematic!!

Then there is the light… Sense is going to catch the colors as you see them… with all shadows… and what you are thinking is to directly print from the result coming out of Sense’s software, right? Then you need to have a constant warm light coming from the scanner… We used a torch attached to the top of it…

The results we got, after a couple tests are quite good… however, you’ll never get the quality the others can get, since they use much more expensive scanners, and probably they do reverse engineering…bla, bla, bla…

But, since you don’t loose that much time in each client, you could scan nice busts and sell them cheaper !!! (we can talk about good price per bust, depending on the number of units you order), which is the only way you could compete with the perfect-colors-and-form-full-body prints that many other are doing…

If you want to keep talking about this, don’t hesitate to contact me: https://www.3dhubs.com/madrid/hubs/telecor

He, I have a ZPrinter 650, and would be happy to offer service. A lot of free time, can service you fast. And it is difficult to get better quality than 650 offers…

I have tried some scanning with 3D Systems Sense, but software is useless. Then tried with Skanect software (trial version), looks much better, but still some problem with export of files.

Hi Lee, thanks for your comment on this post. Just a heads that I moderated your email out and would really appreciate it if moving forward you’ll use a link to your hub profile as means of contact. Cheers!

Hi guys, thanks for your input! Moving forward, could you please use a link to your hub profile as a means of contact? I took your email out now, but please keep it in mind for next time. Cheers

Right. Sorry.

First of all, the Cubify Sense is far from high definition. It will give you selfies that lack precision in texture and spacial resolution. We have a couple here and we just don’t use them. It is good for non-commercial use.

I would recommend using an Artec 3D scanner. It is much better. We do a lot of color prints with a Projet 660. With the limitations of any color 3D printer, you can’t afford to have a bad source file - it would only make the prints worse.

We are in Canada but perhaps it could still work. After all our canadian dollar is not doing well right now.

I’m unsure on the lockdown that I expect there is on the 3d systems version, but ideally based on your statements, you would want to get a structure io and run the aftermarket app itseez3d. While lower quality then an Eva, for the difference in price, it’s more then acceptable. There are several companies out there that will do touchups on the scans for a low cost. Basically you also want to ensure you have the correct setup. It’s best to have a turn table for the person and photo lights on both sides of you to ensure consistent lighting. This set up only cost about $700 but really improves the quality of the scans.

Hello, We have a Projet X660 and we commercialize full body 3D Scanner.

We use a 3D Scan Sens Cubify with Recfusion (possible with Reconstructme and Skanect) which is better than the 3D System’s software.

The most important is to have :

- Good lighting light

- Full body 3D scanner (turntable, automatic vertical rail with universal support for 3d scanner)

Have a nice day !!

For printing 3d scanned with a particular texture or color scanning application we found the press by Projet 660 ( http://www.gaiasolution3d.com/prodotti/stampanti-3d/projet-x60/ ) have no terms of comparison is terms of cost and quality.
We based on our experience we use the scanner manual professional Open insight3 technologies that you can find on our website showcase ( http://www.gaiasolution3d.com/prodotti/scanner-3d/scanner-3d-insight-3/ ) or by a stage of our creation that will be soon on the market .
The result of these two combined equipment was excellent .

Wonderful to get well ground feedback from all of you ! Tks. I am assimilating info and will be answering individually to you shortly.

One thing is clear and is that SENSE 3d printer is out of consideration for professional use. While most probably will buy an EVA, am meanwhile

interested in low costs alternatives (Kinect and a couple of etceteras). With your support i may come out with a couple of printing qualities,

high & super high or so…

LAD3 · 2015-03-16T20:33:18.000Z

Hello Gaa, How soon will you be in the market? Pls keep us posted. Best wishes.

Gaia,i mean, pardon for typo.

Gaiasolution3d · 2015-03-16T23:01:12.000Z

Good evening the theater is already built and we’re finishing the complete automation of the system .
In the shorter I can provide a data sheet of the technology we developed scrivetici well to our direct email for more information gaiasolutionsnc@gmail.com

LAD3 · 2015-03-17T14:00:28.000Z

Hello KauPang,

I would like you to evaluate a couple of files. See if quality is print worthy (no need to print yet) and give me a quotation for 3 sizes : 9, 12 & 15 cm in full glorious colours.

I will send you first .PLY and then .OBJ. One of the files has good lightning not so much the other.

Is it OK to send you the files? Your quotation would be exworks, no postage required yet.

Tks & rgds

PSD. And where are you located?

Although Sense 3D and the structure sensor might have pretty much the same precision, the structure sensor is definitely better if you compare both scans. This is because Occipital, the guys behind the strcuture sensor, have released an SDK therefore there are a lot of good apps that are already available for scanning objects, people or even spaces (like room or interiors).

Some of these apps (like itseez 3d ) do a post-processing of the scan that ends up in very good results. Obviously still not comparable to professional scanners but sill good considering the price of the device.

Here you can find some of the scans I have done with the Structure (it was during an event with very bad lighting and I used an older version of the app, now you can also do full body scan and not just busts…):
