As a chronic tinkerer, I’ve always wished there was a simple, efficient, and effective way to get a full-resolution 3D model of a part without spending hundreds of hours learning 3D modeling or thousands of dollars on a high-resolution 3D scanner. This is the problem Matter and Form wanted to solve with the Three, a 3D scanner that claims to be simple, intuitive, and inexpensive. It’s important to emphasize that 3D scanners are not the end-all, be-all of creating 3D models. The first two methods will allow wireless connection to the scanner with any device, while the third will only allow connection to the device the scanner is plugged into. The application for the scanner runs entirely in-browser, accessed through an IPv4 address that’s displayed through the scanner’s projector.
