This scanner is much more professional than the David Scanner. The price is around \u20ac 3000 and the acquisition process is automatic with regard to each individual face. The software provided by the manufacturer allows to reconstruct the object automatically through the rotation of a platform below it, but for the purposes of the course I preferred to individually scan every single mesh for process them later in MeshLab. Furthermore, NextEngine allows to choose various options for the acquisition, such as: the accuracy, speed or even to choose the type of surface. The laser of this unit increases power depending on how the object is more or less dark. The elaboration process is then similar in all respects to that of David Scan, except for the superior quality of meshes.<\/p>\n
\nStep 1 – Scanner preparation<\/strong>
\nThere are not many words to do with regard to the preparation of the scanner: simply connect the NextEngine through a USB port and install the bundled software: ScanStudio Core. Through an interface, you can select various options to capture and description of the object, then simply press the “Scan” to start.
