Absolutely! I'm already using a closed loop stepper motor with a driver controlled over RS485(MODBUS). The system is controlled with an ESP32-S3 being used to communicate with the variety of sensor...

Hi Christopher, Sorry for the late reply.This is possible, but you will need some help from us to do it. Here's a short list of the top level requirements:1) The API for the rotary bed is not curre...

This evening, I'm only scanning, and will leave all the alignment and post-processing until a later session.  That's one of the beauties of using the THREE.  Projects can be completed in ...

Hello,Will you be releasing the MAF3 source code?To allow hacking, modification, adding features, etc.

This next image shows how the slide mount could be easily modified to take a slide-in clamp for a ring.  This is a just a quick design that may or may not work as hoped.  But, it could be...

Thanks Vik. Actually this next step had you specifically in mind... making the stand universal so that it could be easily adapted for holding other things, like rigs. The first step was to make t...

This is such a fascinating approach, Tom—your methodical experimentation and the idea of using multi-axis staging with reference objects is really inspiring. I’m especially intrigued by...

Thanks, Trevor—I'm implementing your suggestions now. The cardboard base and scan spray are already making a noticeable difference! Cheers,-Vic

In the first post, images showed that my initial staging attempt, while generally successful, had some limitations, like limited forward rotation to tilt the object.  And, sometimes, it was di...

As I taught my students in 3D design and printing classes, their goal should be to first LEARN their tools and then USE their tools.   And, that is exactly what I am trying to do with my...

I'm glad you're enjoying your scanner Vik! Generally, light brown or white cardboard will be perfect. As long as it doesn't have a shine to it and is a neutral color it will be fine. For the jewel...

I'm attaching some single scans so you can get a picture of what it looks like. The room lighting was off during scanning and the blinds were partially closed, so the lighting at the scanning locat...

I have also found Instant Meshes, a free application that is very helpful.

Hi Trevor, Thanks so much for the insight—and for being part of the team behind this amazing scanner! Your suggestion about using a wide, low-height base is super practical. I can see how t...

Echoing what Vaclav said, when I scan something small and symmetrical, I will often put it on top of a small box, something that has a large width x length so that it sticks out around the object, ...

Hi Vaclav, Thanks so much for the welcome and for sharing that tip—really appreciate it! I hadn’t considered using external artifacts to assist with alignment, but that makes a lot of...

@Vik Starre Hi Vik, Welcome to the community and congrats on your THREE scanner =) While I don't have specific experience scanning jewelry. I've found a helpful technique when working with symme...

@Brian Hyland Hi Brian, The scanner itself doesn't have built-in functions to align scans to the Cartesian coordinate system, so you'll need to do this manually in your post-processing software...

@DCLARS Hey Derik, Your experience sounds very familiar. You've actually discovered one of the fundamental challenges in reverse engineering. Let me explain what's happening and suggest some be...

Hi everyone! I received my THREE just yesterday and I’m already loving it—huge thanks to the team for shipping such an excellent product in a great case. I’m working with symmetr...
