Technical Notes, News and Experiments
From the OpenScan Blog
OpenScan3 is moving into beta, with a cleaner workflow, broader camera support and a more stable foundation.
Prototype: OpenScan Multi-Camera Rig
A first look at a modular multi-camera OpenScan prototype for capturing objects from multiple angles at once.
OpenScan Benchy: A 3D Scanning Benchmark
A community benchmark for comparing 3D scanning workflows, datasets and reconstruction quality.
Our powerful photogrammetry solution
Thanks to great community support through Patreon, we are able to offer a free processing pipeline for your 3D models. With over ten million processed photos, we are on our way to bringing 3D scanning to the masses.
3D Scanning for the masses
When we started our journey in 2017, we could have never imagined that this project would grow to a global scale. Today, our scanners can be found across continents, in various makerspaces, industries, enhancing research, and connecting communities in ways we only dreamed of.
