Hello everyone,
Today, I want to introduce you to my latest project: the OpenScanTable. The name is quite telling because my goal was to develop a universally applicable, modular turntable that is compatible with any 3D scanning system (and also cameras for photogrammetry). Specifically, though, I designed it for use with the Revopoint Mini.
The newest feature of the Revopoint Mini, the single-shot function, truly inspired me. It opens up completely new possibilities for detailed 3D scans. So, I quickly gathered all the hardware components I could find and built a turntable that not only automates the scanning process but also automatically adjusts the distance to the object. The result is a system that triggers the shots in the Revoscan software by simply pressing the space bar – all through a Bluetooth connection, where the control unit registers as a keyboard on the PC.
Although this project is still in its early stages, I am thrilled with the scan results so far. The level of detail is impressive, especially with settings that rotate every 20 degrees and then take a shot.
I plan to upload all the necessary information, files, and instructions for replicating this, so you too can benefit from this modular approach. For now, however, I would like to show you a video of the OpenScanTable in action to give you an idea of the possibilities this approach offers.

I look forward to your feedback, your questions, and, of course, exchanging ideas with you. Let’s expand the possibilities of 3D scanning technology together!
