DIY and Entry-Level 3D-Scanner Forum

There are a lot DIY scanners out there, but no one tried to build a Time-of-flight scanner at home before

This project seems to be perfect for the first diy3dscan design challenge!

The goal is to build a 3D scanner that automatically generates a pointcloud of a room using the time-of-flight method:

o as accurate as possible,
o as fast as possible,
o as simple as possible,
o and, of course, as cheap as possible

The scanner is an Open Hardware project and should be buildable with 3d printers and tools available at an average hardware store. It will be published under an Creative Commons License.

The challenge has three divisions:

1) Hardware
2) Electronics
3) Software

The winner of each division gets honored by the diy3dscan forum and his username is mentioned in the CC license and in the "Hall of Fame" !

Happy developing

I just typed the last line of code and ran a first test of the scanner!

It is a very, very cool device:



This is what I got from the first scan
