I’m having a bit of a hard time with this, but I also acknowledge this is still relatively niche still.

I’d like to make printed recreations of some parts that I currently have. They’re unfortunately a bit complex to quickly recreate manually in a sculpting software. I do have an iPad PRo and a budget for any additional hardware to help. I was hoping I could find a carousel I could connect to the iPad Pro and use and app to control the carousel and scan the parts. I’m not finding anything.

Can anyone recommend a good setup to make 3D scans of these small parts, or an app/hardware combo that could help me accomplish this?

    Regardless of the scanner use matting spray. Either a commercial that evaporates or baby powder + IPA or baking powder.

    OpenScan was already meantioned by somebody else.

    The CR scan otter won’t work for small parts and the CR-scan software isn’t great for example there isn’t an undo button to remove the last x seconds of bad scan data.

      Thanks for the advice! Shame about the CR, but the OpenScan would be more in line with my goal of using my existing equipment. Thanks! I’ll be sure to get some of that spray too!
