The BQ Ciclop scanner is fully open source meaning that all of the source files for the hardware and software are made available online. That means you are free to make adjustments and upgrades to the Ciclop and then to share those changes with the community. This is the first open source scanner with open source software on the market.

How does Ciclop work? Ciclop is a 3D rotational laser triangulation scanner. That means that is makes use of two separate lasers and projects those lasers over the object you are scanning. Your object will rotate on the turntable and the lasers will catalogue both the geometry and texture of your object. Once you unbox the Ciclop, you can fully assemble the scanner in under an hour.

Start scanning large objects today and enjoy a scannable area of 250mm in diameter by 205mm tall. That means you can scan objects that are slightly smaller than a volleyball. The scanner captures textures and details with a precision of 500 microns.

how about making it fully automatic for the blender code? like I said it is open source code and if it takes textures people can scan their own folk art for video games and save oodles of money on start up costs. A folk art video game would be really cool.

So I have a wheel (pulley wheel) that is unique. I'm sure the scanner will scan it with no issues however, the top and bottom has some holes, mainly the center hole that the axes goes through. Will this scan the top and capture that hole? The wheel also has a grove in the center for the belt guide to sit in.

Can this splice different scans together? For example, if i wanted to print myself a nintendo 64 game controller shell could i take multiple scans to get the interior dimensions as well as the exterior dimensions and splice those together into one 3d scanned object?

Can you give the positional certainty tolerance (in radius, angle, and height) of a scanned point inside the available volume? If not, can you give the smallest camera angle that still registers as a different point in the output? How does this compare to the other scanners?
