3D Scanning for Free

How to create a 3D scan of an object using your cell phone camera and free software? We compare our free 3D scan to a professional 3D scan of the same part made with a 20.000 EUR 3D Scanner. Read the accompanying blog post: https://holocreators.com/blog/3d-scanning-for-free/ All software to do this tutorial is free. You don't need a special app for your phone, just the photos. The technique to create this 3D scan is called photogrammetry. Any commercially available camera can be used for this. Meshroom works best with an Nvidia GPU. There have been some problems with Meshroom, when not using a Nvidia graphics card, then you need to use “draft meshing”: https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/wiki/Draft-Meshing Holocreators offers 3D scanning services, 3D scan-to-CAD conversion services (STL to STEP), 3D modeling services, and CAD design services.

This question has been asked by many of you. Answer: When clicking the "Start" Button for the first time, Meshroom will ask you where to save the Cashe folder: normally it goes to C:/Users/Computer-name/AppData/local/Temp/MeshroomCashe Software needed to follow this Tutorial: Meshroom (to convert the photos into a 3D file): https://alicevision.org/#meshroom Meshlab (for the 3D Scan Clean up and to combine several single scans): https://www.meshlab.net/#download Netfabb (version 7.4.0) (to measure the 3D scan): https://github.com/3DprintFIT/netfabb-basic-download/releases Netfabb (current version) to measure the 3D scan): https://www.autodesk.com/products/netfabb/overview Zeiss Inspect (to compare the differences between different 3D scans): https://www.gom.com/3d-software/gom-inspect-suite/independent-software/3d-inspection.html Download the project files : Free 3D Scan of the part (“tankgeber”): https://nx67498.your-storageshare.de/s/HzLkWwciW64KHDG Professional 3D scan of the part (“tankgeber”): https://nx67498.your-storageshare.de/s/2dLAemy29AytfwP Deviation analysis free 3D scan and professional 3D scan (PDF): https://nx67498.your-storageshare.de/s/iQMw5EpW74AotmG Photogrammetry raw picture set of the part (“tankgeber”): https://nx67498.your-storageshare.de/s/9rZdaJgYjGRBkt4 Meshlab 3D Viewer (free software): https://www.meshlab.net/#download Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 00:21 About 3D-scanning technology 00:55 Preparing to create your free 3D scan 02:02 Photographing your object using your cell phone camera 02:44 Importing your images using Meshroom 03:15 Cleaning up your 3D scans using MeshLab 04:10 Adjusting the scale using Netfabb 05:20 Using MeshLab to merge your scans 06:45 Free 3D scan vs. professional 3D scan 07:26 Comparing separate scans using GOM Inspect 08:28 Locating more information 09:08 STL to STEP Conversion Hashtags: #3dscanning #photogrammetry #3dscan Image source Thumbnail: (hand and phone) https://www.freepik.com/free-photo/business-hand-with-mobile-phone_1254891.htm#page=4&query=hand%20phone&position=25
