3D scanner "Digitizer" that anyone can easily scan three-dimensional objects and create data

A 3D printer capable of outputting CAD data as a three-dimensional object, But in the opposite direction, a 3D scanner that "converts three-dimensional objects" becomes a 3D printer of a price range that individuals can obtain "Replicator 2I am makingMakerBotIt was clear that it appeared from.

Since the stand is designed to rotate, it is scanned arbitrarily as long as the stand is set. It takes about 3 minutes and it is the fastest way to get a design for 3D printing.




As you can see, this is a combination with the 3D printer "Replicator 2" made by MakerBot, so it was said that the product was eagerly developed in-house. For the moment, although the release timing and price etc. are not decided yet at the stage of announcing the prototype, thinking from the fact that "Replicator 2" is a price range that is still available as a 3D printer of 200,000 yen level As a 3D scanner, I wonder if it is possible for individuals to do their best so that they will be priced as they are available. It is predicted.
