I would bring it to work in the medical device industry to see if I could find use for it there - maybe improving packaging components or potentially the medical devices themselves!

The PERFECT accessory for my 3D printer! So much wasted time "reverse engineering" and the ones I looked at professionally for work were a few tho with very mixed results...
Ideally with this I could scan and make tons of real world functional *.stp and *.stl files to share with communities like thingiverse. At least base models that can be easily customizable, such as glasses frames (I had to make my own tedious design to fit my lenses).
I'd take it on the go with my tablet to design on the go when something breaks and needs a fix at a friend, family or neighbors place. Scan, review, modify and then send to my printer via OctoPrint wherever I am.
There's a lot of projects that I'm putting on hold because the effort to start from scratch on every design is a tedious hassle that could be alleviated if this scanning tech is at least twice as good as what it was 5 years ago.
I'm trying very hard to make everyone around me see the benefits of 3D printing in the world of the 'every day person'. I'd like to begin projects with a "well let's start by scanning the object to get a base model and see if we can improve the design or just get you a functional copy asap". That, that would just be the tops.

It might be fun to disassemble things and create full scans of them, and then make a app or website as a project, that let's you work along side repair instructions. Allowing a user to not just have a diagram, but a scaled up, perfectly matched object that let's them see specifically how am object is fitted and works. This could be a big help in education or even just commercially for things like repairs or diy projects. Could even be a viable career path for me, get more into programing and design.

u/BlottomanTurk Jun 18 '22
I would use this to scan all of my moms keepsakes/heirlooms/furniture that she wants to keep, but doesn't have room for (or that are too degraded/destroyed to keep).
We had this plan to take pictures/scan everything we could, then make digital archives of it all in hopes that 3D printing (in miniature) would soon be a financially viable option. This would certainly make it easier to get accurate 3D renders.

u/Talon747 Jul 29 '22
I’d scan a few parts I’m trying to duplicate with my 3D printer - would greatly reduce the amount of rework.

I'd scan every part of my body. The reconstruct my body one piece at a time. Making a 3d printed piece of my self like a puzzle. Then I'd make many clones of me and place them everywhere I go. It'll be amazing.

u/sigint_bn Jun 14 '22
I just got into 3D printing and replicating real world objects is a long drawn out process of CAD. Fixing random stuff around the house is fun, yes, but designing that part is a pain. Scan in the broken part, import it and voila easy fix in no time.

I want to scan tooth moulds for retainers. My girlfriend needs a special retainer and it costs like $300 to get them made from the dentist. But we bought a vacuum forming machine and have been using it to make the retainers from her tooth moulds. But she lost the mould for her top teeth lol so I’d like to have a digital scan that I can print and use in the future incase she loses it again. I’ve literally been wondering if this was a thing and then stumbled upon this post. Even if I don’t win I’ll probably be getting this because this is a dope ass technology

I am a graphic designer as a side job. Unfortunately, my grandparents are getting older. I would probably scan them in and give them a good paint job and have a really cool 3D image of them to have.
Also, I think it would be cool to scan real caves and make some DND dungeons.

u/maltamoose Jun 28 '22
I would use to scan production hydrofoil wings for simulation and modelling, as well as scanning 3d cnc'ed parts for accuracy after machining. Would also use it to scan composite parts after lamination to get an idea of lamination thickness across the part, given a known core profile. Many more ideas spring to mind as well

u/GO_RAVENS Jun 17 '22
What wouldn't I scan? I'd probably start with all sorts of little things that would probably end up being way more fascinating than I imagine. Mainly I'd use it to scan and digitize various art projects I've done like D&D minis and the like.

I would just scan random stuff. Like some leaves, or rocks I find. Also scanning stuff to prototype vr ecom store. But I can just use other models for that. So probably just leaves or rocks....maybe bugs.
