Details of the 3D scanning device "eora 3D" can be found by looking at the following movies.
"Eora 3D" is an aluminum cylindrical device with a smartphone fixed on the side. The main body size is 150 mm in height and 60 mm in diameter, and the weight is 980 g. You can see that it is a very small device compared to a smartphone.
On the other side like this, you can fix any shape of smartphone. The eora 3D development team was searching for devices that measure the surface of the object in the market where only over $ 20,000 (about 2.4 million yen) expensive items were sold, and more high-precision 3D scanners Because it was expensive and more than ten thousand dollars, it seems to decide to make a cheap and portable scanner.
There is a camera and laser irradiation port in the upper part of the main unit, and a green laser light with a wavelength of 520 nm that can scan the object even in the dark is adopted.
Eora Scan only application to be used in conjunction with 3D is prepared for iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, use it by connecting with the main unit with Bluetooth. To scan things, simply press the "SCAN" button of the application.
Then, a green laser beam is irradiated from the laser irradiation port toward the object to be scanned ...
It is possible to scan objects. The time required to create a 360-degree 3D model is only about 5 minutes, and the scanable distance is within 1 m and 1 m square. Scan accuracy is extremely high, less than 100 micron (0.1 mm), it means that it measures up to 8 million data points.
By moving the object in various directions, more than 1000 pictures are automatically taken and it is possible to create a 3D model in real time on the application, but by using the optional turntable, even small objects can be easily It is possible to scan.
An object with a width of 125 mm and a height of 200 mm can be placed on the turntable.
The created 3D model can be checked on the application.
Image editing tools are also available.
There are three types of data formats: .ply, .obj, .STL, and can be uploaded to 3DCG posting service such as Sketchfab. The 3D model actually scanned using eora 3D looks like the following.
Furthermore, using the scanned data, it is possible to output exactly the same thing with a 3D printer.
The main body color has become two colors development of silver and dark gray.
Eora 3D is looking for funds for mass production with Kickstarter, plans for getting one eora 3D body is $ 229 (about 28,000 yen), main body + turntable $ 289 (about 35,000 yen) The early delivery beta kit is $ 419 (about 50,000 yen). A shipping fee of 25 dollars (about 3000 yen) is required for shipping to Japan, and the deadline for investment is 6:39 on Thursday, November 19, 2015, Japan time.
