"Volumental" that you can make your own 3D model using PC and dedicated camera

When you hear "3D scanning", expensive dedicated equipment and software are required, and it is easy to stand up as one with high hurd, but if you have only one laptop PC and a dedicated camera that can be purchased on the net, it is easy to make 3D data It is possible to further create real 3D models.3D Scan-to-Print Web App"We are looking for investment with Kickstarter.

The 3D Scan-to-Print Web App by Volumental - Kickstarter
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/volumental/the-3d-scan-to-print-web-app

Details of the system are introduced in the following movies.


It is Mr. Caroline who is a co-founder of "Volumental" that makes a presentation.


VolumentalIs the world's first and only cloud-type online scanning service. For example, even with such a three-dimensional object ...


You can do stereoscopic scanning with ease as if you are scanning documents.


Scanned data can be converted to 3D data and processed.


To do the scan, use a special camera "depth camera" which can measure the distance to the object.


"Depth camera"OpenNIIf it conforms to the standard of OK, it is OK for Microsoft Xbox 360KinectAndPrimeSenseYou can use products of the company etc.

Even without expensive graphics cards or high-performance PCs, 3D modeling can be done using Volumental.


First of all VolumentalwebsiteLogin to ... ...


While taking a picture with the depth camera, I will go round the object. This time it seems to make 3D data of the person appearing on the right.


After the scan finishes, after a few minutes of uploading the data ......


Person's 3D data conversion is completed. In the movie, you can see where the 3D data is actually moving with the grin.


Since the "Volumental" system is managed in the cloud, data can be accessed from anywhere in the world.


With this system, 3D scanning can be done easily and easily. The project of this time is a web application that makes it possible to output actual models on 3D printers based on the data "3D Scan-to-Print Web AppIn order to realize "Kickstarter decided to invite investment.


The web application is integrated into "Volumental" and you can work seamlessly.


You can send 3D model data as it is to online 3D print output service and have it be a real model. People who have 3D printers can also download data and model at home.


When this investment succeeds, Volumental is planning to hire new support technicians for system development. On the site, we introduce the idea of ​​utilizing "a chess piece whose family's face was designed", "a model of a pet", "I will make one more thing for a child who keeps a toy" It has been.

The project set the target amount to 20,000 dollars (about 2 million yen), but already about 25,000 dollars (about 2.5 million yen) applications have been received, and commercialization is almost finalized. Even if you can invest from as much as one dollar, you can get your favorite 3D data with a model of up to 5 cubic centimeters by investing 50 dollars (about 4900 yen), or if you invest 300 dollars (about 29,000 yen) You can get the "PrimeSense" depth camera along with the right to download up to 100 modeling data. Also, those who have invested the highest quota of $ 2,500 (about 240,000 yen) can visit the development headquarters of Volumental in Stockholm, Sweden, exchange ideas with staff, and visit behind the development I can do it. Also known every year the Nobel Prize award ceremony dinner will be heldStockholm city hall"You can also get the right to enjoy the same dinner as the winner. In addition, it is only "right" to the end and necessary expenses are not included.

The deadline for investment is 6:30 am Monday, September 2, Japan time.
