3D Scan with Kinect

[Warning: Non-Python, Non-Network Engineering related. But I think it is fun. :)]

[9/21 Update: I received a scan with Kinect connected to a PC with dual GPU last week, printed out that model  and attached the result pictures at the end]

I received my Windows Kinect Adapter and here is the workflow I followed to go from 3D scan to a 3D printout on the 3D printer:

1. Download and install the Kinect SDK.

2. Originally I was going to use 3D Builder from Microsoft, but apperantly the scanning function is missing on the Windows 10 version. Luckily, KScan3D is free and available, so I used it.


3. Then I use 3D Builder to correct the image, slice it, and put a base to print better, save it as stl file. Note that because I was by myself and rotated myself instead of the scanner, the top of my head was empty, so I put a hat on top of my head.


4. Finally, I used MakerWare to open the file and save it as x3g on the SD card to print on the Replicator 2. To save time, I shrink the size so it can print in 30 minutes. 



5. I should have used support on the hands, or use support, but here is the final print:



I will be the first to admit it is a bit creepy to see yourself printed out, but hay, it is also very cool!


Happy Making!

  12. On the off chance that you mean to give it as a blessing, it could be something that would help them to remember you. Be that as it may, on the off chance that you might want to do it similarly as an interest and gather the result in your home then you could begin with what starts things out into your psyche.

  13. Nice post. I understand some thing tougher on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to learn to read content from other writers and rehearse a little at their store. I’d opt to use some with all the content in my weblog whether or not you do not mind. Natually I’ll provide link for your web blog. Many thanks for sharing.
