Replicate precious heirlooms. Recreate two-million-year-old hominids from fossils. Model George Washington’s face from his death mask, in breathtaking detail. NextEngine’s 3D Laser Scanner inspires and enables new possibilities. We’re excited to announce a new partnership that transforms richly detailed objects into accurate 3D prints, seamlessly.
Starting today, NextEngine scans not only create a 3D model file, they also link directly to Shapeways. NextEngine’s ScanStudio app now has Shapeways built in – once you finish your scan, just click the Shapeways button to upload directly to your Shapeways account.
“NextEngine is thrilled to partner with Shapeways’ leading 3D print platform to bring ultra high precision 3D laser scanning to the designer community, at remarkably low cost,” said Brad Bryker, NextEngine’s VP of Business Development. “Now designers worldwide can share exquisitely accurate and detailed scans of their original creations, and just click to print them in high-quality materials on Shapeways.” See the video below for how a spaniel dog figurine was recreated, right down to the lines in the fur.
NextEngine’s 3D Scanner is the most affordable, high-precision laser scanner available. It captures objects smaller than an acorn, and larger than a seven-foot statue. A robotic motion stage is included, to do full 360-degree capture automatically, so the scanner does the work for you. It even includes a tripod mount to capture stationary objects like stone building reliefs. And powerful software is included, standard.
All this means that you can produce high-quality, precisely detailed 3D models, all in less than an hour, automatically. These model files are much more accurate than other low-cost devices, and turn complex organic shapes into beautifully detailed 3D prints.
Your NextEngine scanner can also be used to market services to other designers, artists, archeologists, anthropologists, architects, scientists and more. Shapeways community member Sophie Barret-Kahn created her own thriving scanning business.
And, right now there’s a special promotion to celebrate this new partnership. Get a NextEngine 3D Scanner, and you’ll get a $300 credit toward any upgrade of your choice. Just enter promo code “Shapeways”.
And to make the deal even sweeter, Shapeways will give you 20% off your first print order once you register your device. Order now – this promo ends in November.

Next Engine is great but very expensive.
