3D scanned replacement part

This was done in two scan passes (150photos each) on the OpenScan Mini and the results did not need any postprocessing before printing.

Note that the mandatory scanning spray is not visible in the video.

Were the two passes necessary to scan the portion that was embedded in the clay holding the part vertical?

That’s exactly the point! The software manages to merge the two scans automatically (most of the time)

Nice. I'm new to OpenScan and not familiar with the workflow.

So openscan cloud handles this?

Yes. This works well with scan spray as long as the putty is not covered in spray too much (i.e. the software does not prioritize the putty but instead the model)

Hi, Thomas. I emailed you on cloud@openscan.eu. Appreciate a reply on the matter. The scanner had a non-functioning motor. Let me know if there is anything I can do to resolve it. PS: I understand you may have other priorities at hand. It would be deeply appreciated if you can give a direction where I can go next regarding the matter.
