METROX’s on KICKSTARTER 4 scanning modes give you the right tools to optimally capture every aspect of small to medium objects, from flat areas to complex details.
NOTE : All Scans in my showcase were captured using Beta Prototype of MetroX and its Beta Software and not using the final Public Build .
I am dfodaro a professional art conservaton (with 40 years of experience) and use 3D tecnologies in my work on cultural heritage for more than 10 years.
Below are my first scans with MetroX, for now I have been using the Full Field mode which has proven to be very smooth and quick to use
Ancient Small Metal Sculpture of Ganesh (33 mm) Mode: Auto Turntable
I tried with this tiny sculpture the automatic scanning system, which is a really easy and fast way of use for such a small object (33 mm)
Patinated plaster sculpture model (36 cm long) Mode: Full Field
Another sculpture (medium size) with rich surface morpholgy (see the final result in Meshlab)
Ganesh Stone Ring (21 mm long)
A laser scan METROX’s on KICKSTARTER o a little Ganesh Stone Ring
Scanning mode: Parallel Lines
Scanned by placing the object on the turntable (kept moving) and MetroX in hand passing the surface back and forth like the motion of a “fan”.
Scanning mode: Parallel Lines
Scanned by placing the object on the turntable (kept moving) and MetroX in hand passing the surface back and forth like the motion of a “fan”, until all become green.
Ancient Dark Shiny Bronze: Nude (36,9 cm long)
Another laser scan METROX’s on KICKSTARTER , today a challenge: a dark bronze
Scanning mode: Cross Lines
Scanning a bronze sculpture with a dark patina is a challenge for those who need to create a quality 3D model with high detail.
MetroX in the Cross Lines laser scan mode allowed me to carry out the scan and the Marker Block Kit was essential to avoid placing the markers directly on the surface of the sculpture.
Truly amazing result.
The scanning set, in the images below:
the scuplture is all surrounded from many marker blocks.
Ancient Tea-Pot Chinese (XIX century) - metal and sculpted/engraved wood decoration (10 cm high)
Another laser scan accomplished with METROX’s on KICKSTARTER
Scanning mode: Cross Lines
Scanning a metal-wood tea-pot with a dark patina and shiny metal is a challenge if need to create a quality 3D model with high detail.
MetroX in the Cross Lines laser scan mode allowed me to carry out the scan and the Marker Block Kit was essential to complete the scan.
The tea-pot was scanned from different sides ( teh tea-pot surrounded from many marker blocks) and the 6 scans obtained were merged in Revoscan.
Using MetroX to restore an antique Imari figurine
I thought I would show how accurate (and usable) the MetroX scanner is even in a different field such as art restoration.
I tried my hand at reconstructing part of an Imari figurine, missing the small foot.
Then the printed part, with the plasticine reconstrucion, has 3D scanned and with a boolean subtraction the (small) part has reconstructed is obtained.
