you can read my review of the Next Engine 3D scanner here

 

http://www.rcc.ryerson.ca/media/2010_Nextengine_Desktop_3D_Scanner_HD.pdf

 

It was originally published by 3D World Magazine

 

The workflow for the newer HD model is the same as the SD version reviewed here.

 

I still use the HD version daily, and am now toying with the idea of using it to get a full rake APT started, using the Hornby models as a template

 

If you need any advice on 3D applications and hardware, feel free to drop me a line.

The Vellemann K8200 looks very good at that price and when the extrusion head is between .125mm & .2mm rather than the .5mm it is at the moment, then it will be worth getting as the print resolution is very high at present which means that the prints will be coarse and not able to hold much if any detail detail.

 

 

If it proves it's worth for Maplin they may request a higher resolution model for sale.

The Form1 is at the present the only 3D peinter I would consider buying.

 

 

 

Agreed, the Form1 is good, but the B9Creator may have the edge with it's new "Cherry" material:

This isn't really the right thread to be posting about the merits and reviews of different 3D printers - from the OP it was originally just meant as a sticky list of printers on the market.

Hi,

A 3D scanner from Makerbot.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23795303

 

For modelling, is there a benefit?

 

Make a pattern the old fashioned way (plasticard, brass, Das, styrene) then scan?

Or simply lead to copying most of an existing product and tweaking (grill/horn/window locations) from RTR to semi-custom?

 

Regards,

Steve.

Scanning an existing product to produce a variant as opposed to making fitting parts would be a good way to get sued.

 

Scanning to make add ons might be useful though.. eg crosti 9f bits for the Dapol.

 

I imagine the primary use is going to be custom "naughty toys"

A new generation of Solidscape printers have arrived. If you are looking for state of the art wax printers for making masters for lost wax casting you should look for a service provider that uses these machines. Starting at around USD 25 000,- , this is not exactly machines aimed at the hobbyist! 

 

Take a look at the samples at this webpage:

Download the high-res images, and I think you will agree that these printers should be good enough for even the most discriminating modellers!
