Wonder if anyone's had much experience with 3d scanners and could recommend an 'entry level' - hard to describe that - but something for people wanting to get started with scanning, having not really done much but experienced in using tinkercad/openscad adn printing with Enders & Prusa's

Maybe something  thats a bit better than scanning with phone apps and under £1K. Any advice welcome!

cheers Ross

There's one in the space.  Bit of a pain in the proverbial to set up but gave good results when matt played with it.

Check the wiki ;-) https://github.com/DoESLiverpool/somebody-should/wiki/Sense-3D-scanner

At Museum in a Box we've tended to use photogrammetry, with Agisoft being the software of choice.  JR would be the best person to chat to in DoES I think - he's done a variety of scanning projects at the archeology dept of the Uni.

I shared the link to https://alicevision.github.io/#meshroom here a couple of years back, still haven't tried it myself though.

Cheers,

Adrian.

Only just seen this, is this still a live query?

I would recomend going down the photogrammetry route as that's what i'm most familiar. Intuition says it can't work, but we are finding it can very much comopete with laser scanning on geometry detail. 

Very happy to assist.
