##Sardauscan is a open source Sub 30$ 3D laser scanner that you can easely print yourself.
###Even 12$ if you already have a hercule HD twist. I think we can say it's "the cheaper 3d scaner on earth"
you just need a arduino nano, 1 to 4 line laser and a micro geared stepper (28BYJ-48)
(see instruction for BOM)
no external power needed. just 2 free usb port on your pc : one for the webcam the other for the rest.
___UPDATE ___
Iâm proud to announce you the release of the open source Software for the âcheapest 3d scanner on earthâ the 30$ DIY Sardauscan.
The software Is written in C# and allow you to compose your Scan task by drag and drop.
Recommended Process is composed from these scan
âScanâ => âIrQ filterâ => âmerge laserâ (if you use more than one laser) => âBuild Mesh by interpolation â => âSave STLâ.
But if you are not satisfied with the build-in processing task, or if you prefer use another heavy but powerful software to work with your point clouds like meslab or other,
you can just âScanâ => âSave Plyâ and import them in your preferred application.
While the software come with a building support of the Sardauscan hardware, and usb camera. You can easely write your own Hardware proxy via plugins.
You can event build your own task to insert in your scan process.
