OpenScan Mini

The user-friendly OpenScan Mini is the easiest way of getting into 3D scanning with photogrammetry.

With this powerful technology you can scan anything from dental models, old action figurines, keys, ear impressions, archeological artifacts and almost anything that fits into the scan volume.

The device helps to create a perfect set of photos, that can be processed with any photogrammetry software. The built-in camera and unique cross-polarizer create shadowless illumination and filter unwanted reflections. 

Off-the-shelf components

Most of the parts can be either 3d printed or sourced locally for easier repairability

Scan Volume

Scan objects up to ~9x9x9cm

Useability

With the built-in ring light and unique cross polarisation, users do not have to worry about lighting or reflections

Raspberry Pi Inside

Running open-source software on the Raspberry Pi to control the scanning process

Customizability

Choose between different kits with/without Raspberry Pi and printed parts or select the individual parts

Modularity

You can re-use all electronics to build the OpenScan Classic or your own rig

Accessibility

Control the 3D scanner through a browser interface without the need for any additional software

Accuracy

As with all scanning technology, the accuracy highly depends on the object preparation and user capability, but it is possible to reach well below 0.02mm

Open Source

We strongly believe in the open source idea and publish all our firmware and hardware details on GitHub

Optional & Free Cloud Processing

You can either use the donation-based OpenScan Cloud or your local processing software to generate the 3D model
