I got an electronicked mail from Revopoint. I backed their 3D scanner. Its a good scanner, I recommend it, but the link to their new scanner is what I have an issue with. See above? The kickstarter/projects/62831 looking link? That's a lie.

The bare link isn't a bare link. It's secretly another link filled with trackers. >:(

If I didn't have an email client that focuses on privacy and warns me of links that are a lie I probably wouldn't have noticed. Or I would have seen the couple of flashing pages as I'm forwarded two or three times but by then it's too late.

It's deceptive. It matters that kickstarter or Revopoint is trying to deceive me (it's definitely kickstarter) It's literally how phishing attempts are successful.

Revopoint Unveils The MIRACO 3D Scanner

Introduction In the fast-paced world of technology, innovation never sleeps. And one company that’s been making waves in the 3D scanning industry is Revopoint. Since its inception in 2014, this powerhouse has been at the forefront of redefining the way we approach 3D scanning. With a team of PhD experts from esteemed research institutions, Revopoint has consistently pushed the boundaries,…

[ad_1] Detroit’s RAPID + TCT was a huge Additive Manufacturing event with over 400 exhibitors from all facets of the 3D printing industry showing off new machines and technological breakthroughs for both the media and potential buyers. Though most companies displaying wares were on the industrial side, there was still plenty to see for those of us focused on the consumer market. Prusa, Bambu Lab, Elegoo, Creality, FLSun, and Phrozen were all there to show off their latest models. We also saw handheld scanners from Creality and RevoPoint, as well as lasers and plenty of filament.The show was simultaneously overwhelming and slightly disappointing. There were no surprises unveiled, at least not for me, as all the new consumer-grade printers were either something I knew was coming or had already spent time on my workbench.On the industrial side, we checked out HP, who sponsored custom car designers Blazin Rodz and their “Doughboy”, a restored and highly modified 1970 Chevy Chevelle. The team used HP’s Multi Jet Fusion technology to produce over 75 custom parts. You may like Blazin Rodz’s Doughboy, a 1970 Chevy Chevelle restored with 3D printing. (Image credit: Tom's Hardware)Probably the coolest industrial printer we saw in action was Rapid Liquid Print’s Levity, a gravity free 3D printer that injects super soft materials like 50A silicone into a reusable tub of gel. After resting for a few hours, the finished prints are scooped out and rinsed in ordinary water. The new technology is capable of making custom gaskets, shoes, comfy liners for prosthetics and more, all without waste.RPL’s Levity prints silicone parts in reusable gel. (Image credit: Tom's Hardware)Prusa Research shows off the CORE One, MK4S with MMU3 and XL(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)We sat down with Josef Prusa, CEO and Founder of Prusa Research, for a quick chat about the CORE One and his expansion into the American market. In 2022, his company acquired Delaware-based Printed Solid, a filament manufacturer that also sold spare parts for 3D printers. Prusa Research has since expanded the company’s filament production and added a Prusa print farm to manufacture MK4S.“I’m very excited we’re getting a lot of orders in, manufacturing is ramping up, and we’re hiring more people,” Prusa said. “We’re making 200 MK4S a month at Printed Solid, which is very few in the grand scheme of things, but we want to solve everything before we scale up.” He added that in the near future, all MK4S and CORE One printers for the US market will be made at Printed Solid.Printed Solid’s machines are currently labeled as “Assembled in the USA” even with the local print farm. “There are some marks we have to hit. It’s hard. We’re working to meet that goal,” Prusa said of getting the coveted “Made in the USA” certification. Though Prusa Research has sought to bring much of its printer manufacturing in-house at Prague, it’s another thing entirely to duplicate the setup in the United States. Prusa said he aims to become the biggest manufacturer of 3D printers in America.Get Tom's Hardware's best news and in-depth reviews, straight to your inbox.When I asked if the CORE One would be getting its own MMU system, I was told that it was coming very soon, most likely by this summer. The printer’s firmware is being tuned to use the current MMU3 rather than devise a new color unit. The biggest hurdle seems to be figuring out if they will put it in an “AMS” style box like the competition or keep it strung out to the side as it currently sits with the MK4. Members of the team agreed that the company had issues with previous incarnations of the multimaterial system, and though the MMU3 still looks like a science project, it's the best color system on the market.For full disclosure, Prusa Research was kind enough to sponsor my travel to Detroit and arrange interviews with their team. Creality Reveals New K2 sizes, a scanner and laserCreality was the only company to show off something I hadn’t expected, and no, it's not a rumored H2D clone. The company had two new Core XY printers: A K2 Combo and a K2 Pro Combo. The printers are not yet released and did not have prices. The K2 Combo has a 260 x 260 x 260mm build volume, while the K2 Pro Combo has 300 x 300 x 300mm build volume. This will no doubt disappoint Creality fans who were hoping the K2 Plus, with it’s 350 x 350 x 350mm build volume, was the mid-size printer and were waiting for a “max”.Creality instead gave center stage to its new handheld scanner, the Raptor, which comes in Pro and X models as well. The scanners currently range from $1,499 to $4,599, have incredible accuracy, and can scan items up to 12 feet or more. They can scan black and metal objects without sprays and should be a huge improvement over the now-discontinued Scan Lizard, which we reviewed in 2022. The Raptor Pro arrived at our workshop shortly before Rapid and will soon undergo testing.Yuriy Melnik demos the Creality Raptor Pro for YouTuber Canuck Creator. (Image credit: Tom's Hardware)They also had their new Creality Hi on display, an affordable 260 x 260 x 300mm bed slinger with a four spool CFS multicolor unit. It’s currently on sale for $519 and can handle up to four Creality Filament Systems. Our test unit was lost in shipping, but I’ll be sure to let know how it stacks up in a review later this year.Creality also had a Falcon A1 Pro “smart” laser on display, which is a fully enclosed dual 20w diode and 2w IR laser that can engrave nearly any material. I look forward to reviewing this unit shortly.Creality shared their booth with sister company Piocreat, which now handles the HALOT resin line as well as their large industrial FDM machines. The HALOT-X1 has put a twist on resin by introducing a fixed build plate and a lifting vat for the resin. This is to reduce vibrations for even smoother prints. We’re unboxing this one soon and report back to you in a few weeks!Elegoo presents the Saturn 4 Ultra 16K, Centauri Carbon and OrangeStorm GigaDenise Bertacchi is shown Elegoo’s Saturn 4 Ultra 16K by an Elegoo rep. (Image credit: Tom's Hardware)Elegoo’s only “new” offering was the Saturn 4 Ultra 16K, a large resin printer with a whopping 10-inch 16K mono LCD light source. We reviewed the previous Saturn 4 Ultra last May when it only had a 12k screen. The machine was definitely impressive and obviously hard to top.However, Elegoo disappointed us with nothing truly new, despite a social media campaign proclaiming “something big is coming” with a black draped teaser image. Naturally, Elegoo fans looked at the bumpy shape and surmised the wildly popular Centauri Carbon was getting a multicolor addition. When I arrived at the booth, I was greeted with a nervous giggle and shown their new “big” resin. The 800 x 800 x 1000mm OrangeStorm Giga was also on display.Looks like color will have to wait.Bambu Lab shows off the H2D, new filament and STEM Kits(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)I didn’t expect anything new at Bambu Lab, as the company had just launched its premium flagship, the H2D. This show may be the closest many people will get to the controversial Laser + 3D printing “personal manufacturing hub” as the pre-tariff stock sold out in minutes. Post tariff, the machine is $500 to $900 more expensive, depending on the model. The website is currently advertising an April 22 availability date, but it's unknown how many printers will be set aside for US customers.A much more affordable offering was the Cyberbrick, currently available on Kickstarter. Once the Kickstarter is over, parts will be sold on Bambu Lab’s Maker’s Supply. Reminiscent of Lego’s Mindstorm kits, Cyberbricks are reusable electronic modules that are combined with 3D printed parts to create RC cars. A basic kit includes parts for the remote and one vehicle, with files available online. Bambu Lab invites the community to come up with custom models for the kit and share them with others on MakerWorld.Also on display is their new, very soft, TPU 85A and TPU 90A, which comes in six colors, including two gradients. The filament is being shown off in 3D printed shoes on the H2D.FormLabs: Hammer Time(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)FormLabs was a major player at Rapid + TCT, and somehow the only company that convinced the venue they could safely demonstrate resin printing, which really says a lot. A company rep was doing live demos of the FormLabs 4 and showing off their new industrial-sized FormLabs 4L, which is currently under review.They had an array of materials on display, most notably, BioMed Durable, which is a transparent and shatter resistant material used for implants and surgical guides. They invited YouTuber Joel Telling to compete with visitors in a hammering contest, where they used a 3D printed BioMed hammer and common wood nails.Also on display was their new Creator Resin, designed for hobbyists who want FormLabs quality without paying FormLabs industrial prices. The resin is designed to run in ordinary LCD and DLP printers and is currently on sale for $35 a KG.GreenGate 3D: Now Recycling NylonThe new prototype nylon, along with its pellet form and original powder. (Image credit: Tom's Hardware)GreenGate3D, known for their recycled PETG filament, gave me a scoop: they are in the midst of recycling nylon. The owner, Rich Silberfeld, was excited to show his first ever spool of recycled Nylon 12 material. GreenGate found another (undisclosed) additive manufacturer that uses nylon power in SLS printers but didn’t have a good way to recycle their material. GreenGate will take the powdered nylon leftover from the manufacturer, sift out any impurities, compound it into pellets, and extrude it onto a spool. The new filament is still in the prototyping phase but is expected to sell for $40 a half kilogram. We’ll be sure to test some as soon as it’s ready!Phrozen: Still holding for Arco(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)Phrozen had a smaller booth to show off a couple resin machines, and the long awaited Arco. The company is well known for quality resin printers like the Sonic Mega 8KS, but I only had eyes for the Arco. It’s the company's first FDM machine, a CORE XY with a heavy bottom and flying gantry, with promised speeds up to 600mm/s and a four-color material box. Phrozen launched the Kickstarter early in 2024, gathering $1,408,493 in funding from over 1400 backers, with original plans to deliver machines in July 2024.The four-slot multicolor unit was on display but not running. I was reassured that it would be ready very soon and that Kickstarter units are nearly ready for release. [ad_2] Source link

3D scanners - Copying Everything

Let me give you a quick rundown on 3D scanners. They're these awesome devices that can capture real-life objects and turn them into 3D models.

As a 3D modeler, I've tried scanning all sorts of things from everyday life. The size range is pretty wide, but it's been a bit of a headache because most 3D scanners out there have limitations on what they can scan. That's why I recently found this Miraco 3D scanner. It can scan objects of any size, covering all my needs whether it's something big, medium, or small. And the best part is, it's wireless and all-in-one, so I don't need any extra equipment to get scanning. It's super convenient, especially for someone like me who's always on the move.

How to Find the Most Affordable 3D Laser Scanner?

In today's rapidly advancing world of technology, 3D laser scanners have become essential tools for various industries, ranging from architecture and engineering to manufacturing and even healthcare. These devices offer an efficient and accurate way to capture the exact measurements of an object or space. However, as with any technology, the cost can be a major factor when considering purchasing a 3D laser scanner. If you're on a budget and looking for an affordable 3D laser scanner that meets your needs, this guide will walk you through the process of finding the most cost-effective options available.

Understand What You Need

Before diving into the search for an affordable 3D laser scanner, it's essential to understand what features and specifications are necessary for your projects. Different scanners serve different purposes, so it's important to match the scanner's capabilities with your needs. For instance, if you're scanning small objects with high detail, you'll need a scanner that offers high precision and resolution. On the other hand, if you're scanning large objects or spaces, a scanner with a longer range and faster scanning speed may be more beneficial.

Set a Realistic Budget

3D laser scanners can range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand, depending on the features, quality, and brand. Setting a realistic budget is a crucial first step in narrowing down your options. If you’re just starting out and are looking for a basic scanner for personal projects, you might not need to go for the most expensive models. However, if you're working in an industry where accuracy and speed are critical, you may need to invest in a more advanced scanner.

A good rule of thumb is to determine the features you absolutely need, then identify scanners that provide those capabilities at a price that fits within your budget.

Research Different Brands

When it comes to 3D laser scanners, several brands offer reliable and affordable options. Some brands are known for offering budget-friendly scanners without compromising on quality. Researching different brands is crucial in finding the most affordable scanner that fits your needs.

Revopoint: Known for its affordable and high-quality 3D scanners, Revopoint offers models like the Revopoint MetroX 3D Scanner, which is relatively budget-friendly and provides great accuracy for personal and professional use.

Compare Prices and Features

Once you’ve narrowed down your options to a few affordable models, the next step is to compare the prices and features. Many online platforms and websites allow you to compare different models side-by-side, so you can evaluate which one offers the best value for your money.

Some key features to compare include:

Scanning Resolution: Higher resolution scanners tend to be more expensive, but they provide finer detail. Decide how much resolution you truly need for your projects.

Scanning Speed: If you’re working on large-scale projects, you’ll want a scanner that can capture data quickly. If precision is your top priority, a slower scanner may be more suitable.

Portability: If you need to move your scanner between different locations or use it in different environments, portability should be a key consideration.

Software Compatibility: Many 3D laser scanners come with proprietary software for processing scanned data. Ensure that the software is compatible with your computer and easy to use.

Look for Deals and Discounts

Another way to find an affordable 3D laser scanner is to keep an eye out for deals, discounts, and promotions. Many online retailers offer seasonal sales or special promotions on certain models, which can help you save a significant amount of money. Additionally, consider purchasing a used or refurbished scanner. Many manufacturers and retailers offer refurbished models at a lower price, and these scanners are often just as good as new ones.

Check for Reviews and Testimonials

One of the best ways to determine if a 3D laser scanner is worth the investment is by reading reviews and testimonials from other users. Look for feedback on the scanner's performance, ease of use, customer support, and durability. Online forums, review websites, and social media groups dedicated to 3D scanning can provide valuable insights and help you make an informed decision.

Consider Long-Term Costs

When evaluating the affordability of a 3D laser scanner, it's essential to consider the long-term costs, including maintenance, software updates, and additional accessories. Some scanners may come with a higher upfront cost but have lower maintenance costs, making them a more affordable option in the long run. Others may have lower initial costs but require expensive updates and accessories over time.

Finding an affordable 3D laser scanner requires a bit of research and consideration, but it's entirely possible to find a high-quality, budget-friendly option. By understanding your needs, setting a realistic budget, researching brands, comparing prices and features, and keeping an eye out for deals, you can find a scanner that provides great value without breaking the bank. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a professional, an affordable 3D laser scanner can enhance your workflow and open up new possibilities in your projects.
