XYZprinting has been at the forefront of providing affordable 3D solutions for a vast range of applications from PLA to food from as low as $349.
#ARTEC STUDIO 8.1 HOW TO#
The XYZ Handheld Scanner will, once again, break down the barriers for users that don’t know how to create 3D models, and unlock countless possibilities to replicate a wide variety of objects using 3D printing technology.” Simon Shen, CEO, XYZprinting, commented: “Making 3D printing technology affordable and approachable has been XYZprinting’s biggest goal. The scans can be output in file formats STL, OBJ, PLY at maximum image throughput of 30 fps.

The scanner uses XYZprinting’s free scanning software, XYZscan and is currently supported by Windows 8.1.

Priced at $299, the device uses Intel RealSense 3D camera technology to produce highly accurate, full colour images. The XYZ Handheld Scanner is to be made available in the market in Spring 2016 and offers the most versatile scan range it is price to allow users to scan objects of any shape or size, quickly and more accurately than ever before. We only take a scan of the side panels that most users would use, so in the Naga Trinity's case, we scanned it with the 12-button side panel.The team behind the low cost da Vinci AiO 3D printer and range of affordable consumer 3D printing solutions, XYZprinting has announced its first handheld 3D scanner. Some mice, such as the Razer Naga Trinity, come with multiple side panels that include different button layouts. It may be difficult to tell which parts are rubber or plastic just using the 3D model, but we do have other pictures throughout the review where it's more obvious. There are some limitations to this process. We put the finishing touches by applying the textures and make sure the model is representative of the product, then we export the file to the review.
We take a second 360-degree scan, and in the ARTEC Studio 15 software, we align both models so that it creates one full model. We take a 360-degree scan of the mouse, and then we flip the mouse so that the end that was in the sticky tack is now facing up. We use sticky tack to hold the mouse in place on a rotating table and the scanner placed next to it. The 3D scanner we purchased is the ARTEC Space Spider. You can rotate the models on any axis, and there are also options to view them from the top, sides, front, back, or bottom. You can compare mice side-by-side or stacked onto each other, which makes it easier to see which one is bigger.
Our 3D tool is aimed at helping you see the entire mouse, and even though nothing beats seeing the real thing, this helps you view it in ways you won't get with pictures.
It may be difficult when purchasing a mouse online to decide which one to get without ever seeing or feeling it in person. One of the most important parts of a mouse is its shape and how well it sits in your hand.
