We’re thrilled to announce the initial release of the Matter and Form THREE Python library! This library allows any developer the ability to control and interact with the Matter and Form THREE scanner. This lets you build custom integrations, automate 3D scanning tasks, or even create new front-end systems for 3D scanning workflows. Imagine hooking up the three to a robot arm, or creating new and amazing computer vision projects by just using the hardware on board (it's more than just a scanner!)
Project Management: List and manage 3D scanning projects programmatically.
To install the library from PyPI, run:
pip install mfthreeHere’s a simple example to connect to the scanner and list available projects:
from three.scanner import Scanner
# Create and connect to the scanner
scanner = Scanner(OnTask=None, OnMessage=None, OnBuffer=None)
scanner.Connect("ws://matterandform.local:8081")
# Simple request to list all projects
projectTask = scanner.list_projects()
# Check for errors and process the output
if projectTask.Error:
print('Error:', projectTask.Error)
else:
for project_obj in projectTask.Output:
project = Project.Brief(**project_obj)
print('Project index:', project.index, ' - Name:', project.name)We’ve included several pre-made examples to help you get started. These can be found in the examples directory of the repository.
Documentation is available here.
We’d love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and ideas for future updates. Try out the library and let us know what you think!
