No, but if I were still in school I would be extremely tempted to have it write out an essay instead of writing out pages. The only thing that kills it would be it obviously would not match my handwriting.

I saw that video, but I couldn't remember the name of the channel. Great channel though.

your reference. Solidworks does have a point cloud tool but no idea how good it is. Working with surfaces in Solidworks usually is not hugely fun.

All I really need is to get the surface data into something other than a "mesh" format. My actual job is working with Catia V5, but my work does not have any of the applicable Catia licenses to directly work with mesh files (such as STLs). If I can get to that point I'm golden. I have plenty of experience working with and creating surfaces.

FreeCad can apparently make a step file from meshes with a few steps, but when I did that with a simple 1 2 3 block scan, the result was about 2.5GB's, and tends to lock up anything that tries to open it. I may look into an open source program to create usable surfaces from point clouds instead of trying to use meshes.

The top fin kept the details, and you can tell there were scales, but all the fine lines are basically gone.

Quick T Rex toy scan (~4-5" long); the black claws didn't show up. scanned on the side they did, but they didn't merge well. Coelacanth figure again ~5" long. The texture of individual scans on this guy looks amazing, but falls apart when merged together. The mesh itself looked quite decent with the merge though. Both of these could be 3D printed as is.

Here are some screenshots of scans. The head is my scan of the included sample part, and the 1 2 3 block is a machinist tool that is exactly 1 x 2 x 3 inches. I 3D printed it, and with calipers it checked about .010" off per 1", or roughly 1% "small". That is with zero CAD work or scaling.

It is my opinion that it should be legal to paint said stripes on someone's car if they park over the line. Should really hammer just how much of an asshole someone is if they have multitudes of stripes.

Have you tried the reality scan app by Epic games? I did not get great results from the one scan I tried, but I've seen really good scans, and it doesn't care how fast you go or what direction.

That being said, as long as the revopoint keeps tracking: no errors. The only times I've had it lose tracking were when scanning a 1 2 3 block without spray (shiny metal) and when trying to scan my car dash in a fairly dark garage (high gloss black). For anything shiny and maybe very dark, you need spray of some sort; either the purpose made stuff or talc free foot spray.

The meshes can vary from mostly smooth with some bumps to kind of having a fish scale effect, but the later is from over scanning. Apparently you should always scan either one rotation on the table or only roughly 300 frames at a time for the cleanest result. You can convince as many scans as you want though. As I said below I'll screenshots of my results later tonight.

For 6" objects the POP line is perfect. For people or people sized objects the Range looks significantly better, but the range might struggle with 6" objects. I guess it's pretty common for people who get into 3d scanning to have multiple scanners based on what size you are scanning. The POP 2 can scan people, but you have to move a maybe 5x5 or 6x6 "window" around them to get all the detail. The Range had a significant larger view/window to scan people much much faster. The faster you can scan the less likely it is to lose tracking.``

Sorry, it's revopoint not revoscan. It's easy to say the wrong one when all you see if the software day to day... I fixed my comment above. I'll try to get some screenshots up later today, but I've scanned lots of things with the turntable and I scanned my 21 month old when he was asleep on his beanbag.
