Sorry for the slow progress.  I am designing the tool with education in mind, providing for different students to see 3D scanning as a process and providing multiple oppotuninties for individu...

Drew,Thank you, this helps a lot. We are currently trying to use the camera without the turntable, so I'll just leave the camera at factory defaults for now. My only remaining question would b...

Hi Davis,Can you share your code for getting a calibration working with me? I might be able to help debug what's going on. Just to give you some confidence in the machine, the API's are all the sam...

In educating any students; but, in particular, at-risk students, projects that promote critical thinking skills are highly desired.  From personal experience, teaching hundreds of at-risk cade...

Thanks, Drew.So all of the calibration-related tasks in the API are strictly for calibrating the turntable? I tried using them but wasn't able to get any of them to work, but I'm relatively new to ...

Hi Davis, The scanner is factory calibrated, and works with a wide array of objects without recalibration. The calibration card that comes with the unit is used to calibrate the turntable and it's...

One of the great things about the Matter and Form scanners, as compared to the others I have used, is that the system invites users to establish a CONSISTENT workflow that best works for the user. ...

FINAL SAXOPHONE MOUTHPIECE RESULTS The alignment went VERY smoothly using the reference object on the Ball Pivot stand.  Here is the image showing the final scan results.  Upper Left dem...

Experimentation with the insert ring grips is very easy with this system.  Here is an image that shows the affect of making the ring grips taller.  Note at taller ring grips allow for bet...

Taking the earlier Pivot Ball mounted Ring Staging clips a bit farther, it seemed that a spring loaded tool might be useful and more reliable when it comes to consitently aligning the ring with ref...

I was wondering if there was a way to store calibration settings, for example if we have a wide array of objects we want to repeatedly scan of different sizes we would have to recalibrate the scann...

Unfortunately, it will take a bit of time before I can actually test the ring mounts.  The current scanning spray I own has a particle size that would probably dull the features of small, deta...

As I explore the concept of staging objects for 3D scanning, the idea of using rings as test objects seemed a natural. I found a set of 19 rings on Amazon for the price of $9.99.  https://ww...

This image demomstrates the concept of using a spring loaded mount on the Ball Pivot base. Caps are slid onto each side of the spring loaded mount.  One set of slide-on clips holds the ring on...

Trevor,  Thanks for putting the files online.  I am continuing to develop the system.  The next step is to develope an extension that allows users to FULLY capture ALL of a ring by ...

@Drew Shark Thats awesome documentation. Thanks for your help!

Hi Christopher,Apollogies for the wait. Here's the first version of Turntable Documentation for you or anyone else looking to make your own turntable. Hopefully this will help. Please let me k...

Hi Olivier,  We don't have these to print, sorry. You can pick up just the card and its holder, rather than the whole accessories package with the power cable, on amazon.com. Here is a link:&...

Tom asked me to post the STL and STEP files for this ball pivot mount and I'm only too happy to do so! Thank you Tom for making this excellent scanning accessory!  The files are hosted on my...

While post the last messages, it dawned on me just how easy it would be to design a spring clamp suitable for rings or coins, etc.  It's not a great image; but, I hope it demonstrates how vers...
