Summary

Pyscan3D is a project whose aim is to create a cheap 3D laser scanner.

There is several similar projects on the Web. But none arrive to be equal to proprietary solutions. Pyscan3D goals to correct that.

GPL licence: it can be used as for personnal than professional stuff.

Python coded: readibility of the source code, and easily portage possible (actually only Linux Debian supported).

fully parameterizable: build your own hardware and choose the size of the objects to scan.

Plebiscite by several professional, this project is actually in development.

Project origin

Great defender of Free world, i’m only working under Linux for few years. When i interested myself to 3D universe, when i bought my CNC, i searched, without any success, a free 3D scanner.

No project was really finished. One offer only some code lines, other just some hardware. But no one complete.

At the end of 2013 year, a discussion with a friend launched the Pyscan3D project, which finally really started on January 2014.
