Does anyone use a 3d scanner to aid in designing? I'm looking to maybe get a Kinect, and was wondering if anyone had any experience with it.

Thanks!]]> JKerstetter 2012-11-19T23:58:35-00:00 Re: Do you use a 3d scanner? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=57156&th=11632#msg_57156 123D Catch.]]> Youknowwho4eva 2012-11-20T15:37:23-00:00 Re: Do you use a 3d scanner? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=57245&th=11632#msg_57245
Catch and Kinect work best with larger objects that are then scaled down so that the lack of detail doesn't matter.

It is also very sensitive to the object to be scanned color. Dark colors are tough.
Even on its lowest resolution it produces very large poly counts.
It is pretty accurate, on it's lowest resolution it was within .5mm.
YMMV
