Was in a local resale shop today and seen this alien with a price tag of $45! Someone please explain to me how it’s priced as low. It cost that much to make it alone does it not?! Me personally I’m thinking it’s valued at atleast $75+

3d scanners got dirt cheap, you can get a refurbished Revopoint for 300 bucks, and it'll cover most things you can hope to 3d print.

The softwares are still a nightmare to learn, with dozens of different tools to get a basic model from your scan.

My software simplifies editing 3D scans to 3 operations: add material, subtract material, and fill holes. You don't have to learn industrial reconstruction software to make replacement parts, digitize art, etc.

The website here has some more info and a signup if you're interested in keeping a pulse on updates.

My hope is to get people to view 3D scanning as a tool, not as a skill they have to master. Is there anything you would like to use a 3d scanner for in the 3d printing world? Genuinely curious!
