Matter and Form MFS1V2 3D Scanner

I had this bought for me by future pathways scotland and it just did not work for me. It takes too many scans too many environmental changes for anything to even begin to appear like it might work. I had it returned and had everything inside the box including the little animal. The seller refused to accept the return and i refused to take the scanner back too. I also got another rubbish scanner and sent that junk back too.

It's just not worth the money. For well over £700, it's just too plasticy. The technology is just not there yet. It may be OK as a (expensive) toy or for very basic, plain objects, but the accuracy is not good enough for any usage that requires precision and it really struggles with certain colours, too much light, reflective surfaces, complex shapes etc. You certainly couldn't use it to accurately replicate most things by then printing on a 3D printer - you just lose too much definition and accuracy. The software is pretty decent, however, and works pretty intuitively, however it's let down by what the scanner hands to it. I ended up returning this for a refund, but if they upped the build quality (etc. metal case? higher quality threaded rod and quieter stepper motor?) and improved the resolution, I might consider buying a future version.

tja, was soll ich sagen... Ergebnis ist völlig unbrauchbar.

I bought this because I needed to make good resolution scans of some ABS automotive parts and make small changes. So far that is a full fail. I have jumped through a lot of hoops to use this unit and while it does technically "work" the finished product is not editable or correctable. The last step of scanning is to make a "mesh" - in my case the mesh removes all detail and makes the object a squishly blob. you cannot export without making a mesh and once you do mesh the item it is locked in place and not editable. I am not sure what use of this is. I did make ONE print from a scanned object clay template and it was an accurate representation of the "mesh" but the "mesh" obliterated all my carefully placed bolt holes and changed sharp corners in rounded puffy marshmellows. It looked like something a 3 year old would draw. How is this .01mm resolution? When I spend this kind of money on a product I also do not like to be hit with software add ons - like the $80 "quick scan" feature. The website said it's included, but what they mean is it is "included after you pay more money." It's just a scam. Software crashes on Windows Server 2012 r2 mid scan - although they make no promises that it will work. The lighting and space requirements make use much more complex than just "set on desktop" - I suggest reading manual before buying. I was able to find a spot with no bright lights (after sunset) and a clear background without any reflective surfaces - but I was lucky. My first 3 spots did not work. Also the unit will not scan anything with a white black or reflective surface - if you want to scan something that is white, black or reflective you need to coat it in matte grey paint. I did this and my scans got a lot better - but not everything can be painted... But even the best scans looked like crap after "meshing" them. Overall it was a waste of money.

Ce scanner est très bien. Il faut cependant beaucoup s'investir, lire, écouter, réfléchir, tester, étudier, pour obtenir un bon résultat. Le procédé est lent : entre 1 heure et 3 heures. Je n'ai pas acheté l'option payante "Quick scan"

Der Scanner arbeitet einwandfrei und hat eine hervorragende Auflösung
