Cool. Must be some complicated software. Long time no post Pratyeka.

I could also use a tape measure app for my iPhone....

seriously? Of all the objects they could have chosen to show this off, they choose a boy taking a leak?

That is really an amazing breakthrough! I wonder how long until this would be ready for public release.

There is one for Aplle os. https://itunes.apple.com/app/trimensional-makerbot-edition/id524309607?mt=8 and only 4.99 very limited scanning but makes my gears turn.

Very interesting stuff that I didn't realize was available. Too bad this one has mostly negative reviews and no updates since 2012.

Did a little more research and Auto cad has a free app 123d Catch I'm going to try. Here is instrutable for creating a 3d printed object from 123d Catch. http://www.instructables.com/id/Making-a-3D-print-of-a-real-object-using-123D-Catc/step4/Filling-in-gaps-and-holes-using-Meshmixer/

How about taking images from your camera and making 3d objects from those.

Sorry I don't check the forums much these days, mostly because of loss of interest. My last project (headboard) is still unfinished, waiting for inspiration. Life has taken a different flavor for me, much contemplation...
Best regards to everyone.

Pratyeka,

I have a question - Is this your path?
