I tried using a 3D scanner to prepare my 3D printing files and I was amazed
Using a 3D scanner provided me some surprising results with 3D printing.
Like many people, I have been preparing files for 3D printing using 3D modeling programs or downloading them from 3D model repositories like Thingiverse. While this is an excellent and well-known method of getting the designs for 3D printing, they are not the only ones. Another approach is using a 3D scanner to capture real-world objects and turn them into ready-to-print files.
