Thank you for reviewing this. Other people do less in depth reviews, and I wanted to see a consumer scanner that can pick up a high level of detail, and you have shown that that exists.
Thank you. Yes many of the reviews use simple toys or ornaments to demonstrate a scanner but natural objects have far more detail and show the true capabilities of the scanner
This is phenomenal! OMG! Im buying one!
Yes I enjoyed using it
You are the only 1 have I seen get decent results with this. Mine is in shipping so I hope I can get your results.
I noticed that as well. If you watch all the other reviews that had bad results, they have terrible lighting in common. I think having your scan very well lit improves results.
Hello I was wondering if you had any updates? Mine seems to kind of work but I can’t get the results in the video
I have spent many hours 3D scanning with a variety of different scanners so I have had a lot of practice and tend to know how to achieve the best results. All of the scanners require a lot of patience and experimentation
Just practice and experimentation
I want one last year!
Go for it
nice i love the scan on the claw, any chance you could scan action figure accessories no action figure just accessories, im looking for a scanner that can scan small thin objects specificly He-Man body armor those 2 piece body armor from the 80s' and recreate them as new variants along with my 90's mummies alive accessories
This scanner should do the job for smallish accessories
How do you post the scans to present the results on the web? What format for the scanned image; what app can you use to view/edit the scanned images? Thanks for the review.
I usually use STL files but there are several options for file type, OBJ, PLY etc. You often need to make a thumbnail from a screenshot of the scan to illustrate it. I use the scanner software for the initial edit but then put the file into Meshmixer to use the analysis tool to find and repair anomalies, Meshmixer can also be used for smoothing and making an object solid. Another free software is Blender although quite complex to learn.
Would you be able to link to any guides or files for building a diy turntable like you've shown in the video?
It wasn't anything special, I purchased a cheap turntable of eBay and cut out a circle of 6mm MDF as a top, this I sprayed it black and glued a few thin blocks underneath to keep it centred on the top of the turntable
are you able to send
the final scanned image to a 3D printer and print the imag in a tutorial video please?
The scan usually needs a little tidying up before printing. I usually use some software called Meshmixer. It is great for fixing some of the anomalies that 3D scanning can create. The model will then need to be put through slicing software before being sent to a 3D printer. I show some of the steps in other 3D scanning videos.
hello, thanks for the video. What is the resolution of the device? Has anyone used exocad in the dental industry?
I don't consider the resolution to be high enough to use in dentistry.
Do you use any special lighting?
No just needs to be even lighting and not too bright. Avoid direct sunlight and I think some of the older fluorescent tube lights might cause problems ( not sure on that but struggled a bit when using it at work with that style of light, was probably a bit bright )
Can these models them be exported to say, STL files to be printed on a 3D printer ?
yes , this is the idea with the scanner
Yes, that is what I use it for mainly. You will need to edit the scan and put it through slicing software before you can print it
Hello, I have the Lite version of the deal camera and was wondering what you scan type were you using, are you using table scan or easy scan?
Excuse me.. I want to buy one.. Can you tell me please wich is better for miniatures, the Sel or the Seal lite??..
Thanks!!..
Blessings!!..
I tend to use Easy scan but with a turntable. I find that it is easier to have the object rotating even when scanning by hand. I have made a black top for the turntable.
The Seal has a slightly higher resolution
Did you try it on a human face? Which scanner would you recommend for scanning faces?
did not try it on faces, face scanning can be tricky especially with facial hair. Miraco is the best I have used for faces.
Its not working for me the way I need and I cant get a refund 2 days ago, Ive tried using it with iphone ( wont scan / save ) and Apple M1 .. I have SEAL, the grip and a multi axis turntable, if anyone in the UK wants to make me an offer ?
Hey how much? Im from Germany
Why not try the texture option. Makes it even better.
I mainly use the scans for 3D design and printing so I am not so interested in the texture, but yes the scans do look very cool when textured
I have the most updated version on my pc and the app won’t open at all. Any suggestions? I haven’t been able to try it out because it won’t open. Keeps crashing
Sorry but I am no good at sorting out IT problems, I always have to ask for help. Check the forums, it could be a conflict issue with another app
Can u import these images to a 3d printer and print them.
That’s what it’s for
what else do you think this was designed for.....wtf kind of question.....
Yes certainly
Is it seal or seal lite?
It is the Seal
How could I earn money with one of these and a 3d printer?
It is always difficult to make it profitable, 3D printing is a slow process
A cautionary note; these are not objects with very fine detail. My experience is that the Seal scanner fails when using the "fine" setting and / or high sensitivity, (>4) and will not pick up wires or hair, despitte the advertised .01mm resolution. It also has trouble aligning multiple scans.
I can get similar good results with an iPhone and PhotoCatch for a small fraction of the price of a Seal. The only place that the Seal excells is in scanning undercuts. It does that very well.
Most consumer grade 3D scanners will struggle with hair. The software did struggle to align scans at times, I found that I needed to experiment with aligning scans in pairs
Dude I want to watch you video it seems informative but why are you talking so slow man, no need for this video to be this long!
You do know you can increase the speed of CZcams videos, right?
@@eladreltuc I do. I was watching it on 2x speed that's why i left the comment.
He's talking like normal human being. It certainly has no "youtube style" of cutting material and montage in a way only gen z like it.
@@wiewiorpl well seeing that I am nowhere close to gen z, I personally don’t agree.
