OpenScan is in Brussels this week, exhibiting at the Summer Reception of the State Government of Saxony-Anhalt – showcasing open-source 3D scanning

Open hardware belongs in the conversation on digital sovereignty.

We’re planning to bring OpenScan to the Open Hardware Summit 2026 in Berlin May 23–24, 2026

Not the fun part of this project: prices on parts and kits go up on May 7. We've kept them stable since 2022, but component costs, shipping, and tariffs have moved enough that we can't hold the line any longer.

Got my hands on MAF3 structured light scanner. Scanning result pretty much impressive and scanner extremly easy to use! @openscan_eu @MatterandForm #3d #openscanbenchy #3dscan

A quick look at how to use the OpenScan Mini 3D scanner:With some basic processing, you can create a highly detailed digital copy (see OpenScan on YouTube).
In this example, a compressor part is scanned and converted into an accurate 3D model. #3dscan #3dscanner #diy

@andrea1811oo @_3Dflow_ @RealityCapture_ Just plain python using lanczos (though i tries various methods with very different results)

[OpenScan @openscan_eu]

Maybe some #photogrammetry expert can explain to me, why simple upscaling significantly improves the reconstruction result on highest presets in various programs @_3Dflow_ @RealityCapture_

[OpenScan @openscan_eu]

@MarcoMedusr @polarization_yu @_3Dflow_ @RealityCapture_ I have tried many different methods, but lanczos seems to work best

Let me know your thoughts—I’m a bit out of my depth here.

@Sap_Aurelii It is currently a bit overloaded but waiting time shouldnt be more than 3h. So maybe you need to reupload the files
