Hi - yep, this is a real 3d scanner - here's some work we did with it a few months ago http://aladigital.blogspot.com/2009/03/inspeck-3d-camera-gaston-wyatt-cnc-and.html
there's a tool in blender to turn a point cloud in to a mesh, and that can be exported in to .stl .obj .3ds .dxf etc.... i'm camping out on the IRC channel until i get my first cnc project up - it's a small sherline 5400 3 axis... wish me luck ya'll :) On Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 2:26 PM, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > Anson, > > The inexpensive 3D scanners that are easily configured are really what > many consider 2.5D, kind of like > most folks use of routers with 3D.
