3D printing is more popular and approachable than ever , and printers are on course of study to get even loud shortly . But printing is only one side of the equation ; what about taking 3D pictures ? There ’s a commodious , handheld gadget in the full treatment that could do just that , andway cheaper than anything else has before .
The somewhat ungainly , photographic plate - sizedFuel3D handheld scannerpulls off its depth - tastic nip with the supporter of a couple different techniques . It ’s grow two stereophonic - mounted cameras , for instance , that see in three dimensions like your eye do , and it ’s also got a package brain that reads the way light hits an physical object , and translate that into depth as well . The result is high - def scans that can be used for anything from TV game to printing out masks of your own face . Who does n’t want a creepy-crawly selfie - masque ?
The gimmick itself is in prototype chassis , and there ’s some primed and finish study to be done before anything make its way out to the world at large . And then , of course , there ’s the matter of getting successfully Kickstarted . The proposed retail price of a M may be a depleted in context , but it ’s a bit pricy when you ’re just take care to impulse - back some disturbed idea .
If and when the Fuel3D electronic scanner comes out — especially if yield can scale up without quintupling the price or something — it could fill in that missing second half of the 3D - printing par quite nicely . And possibly someday it ’ll even be actually gaudy . [ Kickstarter ]
