3D scanner launched

The Makerbot Digitizer, a desktop scanner that quickly scans 3D objects for use in 3D printers, is now available in the market.

$ 1,400 3D scanners will be delivered to buyers in October.

Demand for 3D scanner has exceeded Makerbot's offering when it was sold on August 22.

3D scanners are the latest additions to bring 3D printing technology to the consumer. With this machine, users do not need to learn any 3D imaging software and still be able to print that object with a 3D printer - which allows you to print an object in 3D.

This 3D scanner works by projecting some of the laser into the object and detecting the lines on the surface of the object. Time to scan objects depends on the object. For example, a small dwarf statue takes about 12 minutes to scan.

According to Makerbot, 3D scanners are good for people like architects, designers, educators, artists, etc. However, Makerbot says the scanner does not fit in with complex designs. Or, shiny objects, can reflect and advise users not to expect too much on the machine.

The company's website says: You can not scan a hamburger and eat it.

Despite the forecast that 3D printing will be extremely popular in the near future, but there are also many people think that 3D printing at home is just a hoax.
