Video Description

Check out my 2nd channel, TT Racing: https://www.youtube.com/@ttracingYT UDPATE: Article from OpenScan addressing the discussion in the comments about whether or not this is Open Source: https://www.openscan.eu/post/is-openscan-an-open-source-project A 3D scanning photogrammetry rig that automates image capture and post processing, for free, and open source! It sounds too good to be true, but based on my testing it’s not. After you purchase the hardware kit, everything is free. I’m not a patient person when it comes to prep for painting or 3D scanning, so the fact that my results were impressive tells you that this product is easy to use for almost everyone. Most of this hardware was provided free of charge by OpenScan for the purpose of making this video. It was tested in accordance with my review policy. All opinions expressed are my own. https://teachingtechyt.github.io/reviewpolicy.html I was so impressed by OpenScan, I made a donation here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/openscan 0:00 Introduction 0:50 Types of 3D scanning 3D scanning comparison video: https://youtu.be/n-qqaW-yjis 1:48 What is the OpenScan Mini?
