Thanks Thomas! I wanted to make sure it is worth the investment. I usually use 3dMD for faces (soft-tissue), but may need to scan bones and/or material culture too and 3dMD doesn't handle those items well.
Thanks again, John ________________________________ John Starbuck, PhD Department of Sociology and Anthropology Indiana University Northwest Lindenwood Hall, Room 209 3400 Broadway Gary, IN 46408 Curriculum Vitae<https://iupui.academia.edu/JohnStarbuck/CurriculumVitae> Office: (219) 980-6788 E-mail: [email protected] ________________________________ From: Thomas O'Mahoney [[email protected]] Sent: Monday, February 02, 2015 5:31 PM To: Starbuck, John Marlow Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MORPHMET] HDI 3D Structured-Light Scanners Hi John, Yes, I have a lot of experience with the Hdi scanners, both the fixed calibration and adjustable ones. They are great for archaeological material/bones (I've literally scanned thousands, as have my colleagues at Cambridge, Bradford and TBI in Kenya) and I've had good success with scanning articulated skeletons too. They're actually made by LMI technologies, who are Canada based. I'm more than happy to send through samples as well, if anyone needs. I'm in the process of sorting out a gallery got my website as well.

I am curious how well they work for imaging objects (skulls, pots), people, and children who wont sit still for morphometric research. http://www.3d-microscribe.com/HDI%203D%20Scanner%20Page.htm The videos and stats on these models make them look great, but I wanted to check with someone who has actually used one before. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
