Scan 3D Objects via a USB Webcam for Free

Scan 3D Objects via a USB Webcam for Free

If you have ever wanted to scan 3D models of real objects into your computer but didn’t want to cough up thousands of bucks for the software you can now do it for free. That is assuming you have a laser of some sort that projects a straight line onto the subject and a USB webcam. The software is called DAVID and to use it you place the object you want to scan into a corner with 90 degree angles. The software will puzzle the images together to give you a complete 360 degree view of the subject. However, the site states the portion of the software that puzzles the images together is not currently available. At least you can scan one side of the object into your PC.
