I would like to try and use the MAF Three scanner with a separate rotary axis. Can a third party axis ( Closed loop stepper & controller) be controlled over the external interface? Can a third ...

Hello everyone, I’m currently exploring how to build an inspection workflow that combines a 3-D scanner’s API (e.g., from a device like the THREE scanner) with an external computer-vis...

Yes this is an absolute addition that needs to be made

Absolutely, the floating point removal should be based on a percentage of total size, so any point that are lower than the size of the main body that the user sets as a percentage would be deleted....

What a dream it is to work with the THREE!    Using a mount (see previous post) that allow me to rotate and orient both reference shapes and mouthpiece, I got the following results using...

Thanks! I would think that putting some time and effort into "Staging" parts would pay dividends in the final result.  In this case, 90% of the scan can be complete with the mouthpiece straig...

We talked extensively about the measurement tool and heatmapping in this blog post from January 25:    https://www.matterandform.net/blogs/news/v-10-software-update-this-is-the-big-one

I am considering options to acquire depth information on a flat of small plants (10" by 20") and am considering the THREE for a fixed application using a single scan at a distance of around 800mm t...

Ironically we had full HDR in MFStudio but no one ever used it, so it wasn't a priority for THREE.

Hi Jose,The Capture.Image call in the API sends a request to the scanner, which sends back a response that has the image wrapped. You can see the capture Image example here.In that example, the ima...

HDR is not to capture several scans with different exposure settings. HDR is to combine several scans with different exposure settings into one picture considering only the best exposed area from s...

@Christian Gassner certainly it's your choice what you buy, but your post has inaccuracies, so I'll respond:  No markers / global markers are supported - CORRECT No HDR capturing (c...

Hey Tom, don't use markers - the software isn't set up to make use of them. However, if you add some "extra geometry" into the scan, it will help with alignment on symmetric pieces like this. My go...

Hi Tom, Adding some dots can help you match up the same exact spots in the manual alignment process. In the past when aligning symmetrical objects I've relied on the textures to to do so, but if y...

I am scanning some wind instrument mouthpieces for comparison. They are solid black and I've used spray. While my results are adequate for my application, I have noticed some slight abnormalities...

@DCLARS I use a free application called FreeCad to convert STL files to STEP. https://www.freecad.org/ It's a very simple process and there is a page that describes the steps.   https:...

Hi everyone, I am doing a whole lot better with this scanner after logging a whole bunch of hours with it.  Its actually unbelieveable how well it works when you get used to its features. A...

Not use what this answer means ... yes, no, maybe? I finally decided not to buy the THREE because for me the scanner provides only very basic features. The potential of the device is great from my...

How could I change the path of where the images are stored and give each image a specific name? I have tried to look at all the scripts in the library to see where it outputs but I am probably miss...

Thanks for the input Christian!
