A 3D scanner is a machine that measures an object and creates a (nearly) exact replica as a 3D model. This 3D model is a computer file which can be 3D printed, modified in 3D modelling software, or used in a VR or AR presentation. 3D scanners are used in many professions and industries, including visual effects, engineering, dentistry, medicine, fashion design and more.
The Matter and Form 3D Scanner is both a measurement tool and a creation tool. Scan an object (found or made) to create an accurate 3D model, and then get creative. Re-purpose the 3D model, combine it with others, subtract from it or add to it - make it into something new and useful. The 3D scanning process is a hands-on, skills-building and incredibly engaging way to make meaningful, 3D printable objects.
The new V2 version desktop 3D digital scanner from Matter and Form is the perfect tool for the 3D scanning of objects and creation of 3D printable files.
Using an eye-safe laser scanner and the MFStudio with +Quickscan software you will be able to capture a digital replica of your object with up to 0.1mm accuracy. Suitable for anyone - from beginner to pro - and designed for many applications such as archiving, art, design, modelling, etc. Set up and scanning is quick and easy, with just 65 seconds required for a single scan, and the unit will produce 3D printable files that can be used with all 3rd party 3D printers and modelling programs to produce your amazing models.
The scanner has fully customisable controls and will manage your project workflow. Full documentation and live customer support is provided, so that peace of mind is guaranteed.
Included with the scanner is the MFStudio with +Quickscan software. MFStudio is a powerful scanning application with precise colour texturing and robust cleaning tools, and the +Quickscan add-on feature delivers immediately responsive scanning. Together, MFStudio and +Quickscan produce fast, precise results that allow you to quickly set up a scan and see the results in minutes.

Q. What size is the largest object that can be scanned ? Can a statue of say 30 cm x 15 cm x 15 cm be scanned in two or three sections and the sections added together to make one file ?
A. Hi Mike, thank you for your question. The manufacturer states the object size and weight: height 250mm; diameter 180mm; weight 3kg.
