You can only start scanning if an object is recognized.

I expected to be able to just hang it and move my laptop around an object or point it at a turntable like above, but this is not possible-the software doesn’t even recognize objects (successful recognition is highlighter with a green box like) in portrait mode. What’s the point of being able to hang it onto a laptop screen if it can’t be used this way? You would hang it there in when idle, because it blocks a rather large part of your screen. What’s interesting though is the tooltip: I was quite surprised that I had to hold the scanner sideways-horizontally (note it says vertically)-with my left hand (I’m right handed like 90% of all people) while it seems to be designed to be held upright. In the next screen there isn’t much to talk about in terms of complexity: the only settings are language and turning of the sound effects of the software. So the function of the button is very clear: hold it to switch between Head and Object mode and click it to start and stop scanning. The splash screen serves as a Quick Guide (which is also supplied on paper). Again clearly towards a consumer audience with friendly colors and illustrations. It’s clear that the XYZscan software is a user interface designed on top of the Intel RealSense SDK that needs to be installed first. Supplied within the box is an SD Card with the Installer you see above.

Nothing bigger, but that’s because the Intel RealSense F200 is actually a Front or User-Facing 3D Camera, usually build into the screens of laptops as a 3D webcam replacement-it’s the thing that powers Windows 10’s Hello login-by-facial-recognition feature. So the XYZ is suitable for smaller objects, ranging from a small toy to a human head. It’s minimum scan volume is 5 x 5 x 5 cm (compared to 20 x 20 x 20 cm of the Sense) and the maximum scan volume of the XYZ is 60 x 60 x 30 cm (compared to 300 x 300 x 300 cm).

On paper it requires a PC with an 4th generation Intel Core i5 processor and 4GB of RAM, but I used my MacBook Pro Retina with 3rd generation Intel (Quad)Core i7 (2,6 GHz), 16 gigs of RAM and Windows 10 through Boot Camp and experienced no performance problems.īoth the infrared camera that captures depth and the RGB camera that captures color information have a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels-4 times more than the original 3D Systems Sense I tested.

A Windows laptop or tablet, to be more specific, because there’s no Mac OSX support. This also powers the device, so you can take it anywhere when using a laptop or tablet. The XYZ 3D Scanner plugs into your computer with a permanently attached USB 3.0 cable. The infrared laser projector and infrared camera are hidden behind a one-way mirror. As you can see on the photo above, only the RGB camera is visible through a hole. It’s organic shape is apparently designed to hang it onto a laptop screen like in the header image of this post, but there’s a problem with that that I’ll cover later.Īt 238 grams (0.52 lbs) and 15.7 cm (6.2 inch) long it’s feather light, small and easy to hold. The device is basically an Intel RealSense F200 depth sensor in a strikingly designed, glossy red body that also features a blue-lit button. The XYZ 3D Scanner comes in a clearly consumer-targeted retail box with a photo of a baby wearing sunglasses that’s being scanned (if you have children, you know is is completely impossible as they can’t keep still). The question of course is: can a 3D Scanner for less than $200 be any good? Let’s find out! And while that device captured the geometric shape of objects in a surprisingly good way, its color capturing was completely useless due to the RGB camera with a resolution just 320 x 240 pixels. It costs half as much as the first generation 3D Systems Sense I reviewed earlier. It’s simply called the XYZprinting 3D Scanner, although the supplied software refers to it as the XYZscan Handy.Īt €199 / $199 it’s probably the most affordable 3D Scanner on the market today and it’s widely available through resellers such as the Dutch 3D Printer and Scanner store 3DNINJA that kindly provided me with the review model. The 3D Scanner I’m reviewing here is made by Taiwanese 3D Printer manufacturer XYZprinting. The most affordable 3D Scanner that works best with Software from its competitor
