The 3DMakerPro Toucan looks and feels more like a digital camera than a 3D scanner, and it even has a thumbwheel to adjust exposure.
Key facts
- 3DMakerPro was serious about skipping the computer with this scanner: the Toucan features an 8-core 2.5 GHz CPU, 256 GB of storage, and 32 GB of DDR4 RAM
- The final model has 400,000 triangles and is only 26.5 MB in size, an impressive reduction from the nearly 1.5 GB of point cloud data used to make the mesh
- After running the Structural Optimization and Statistical Noise Removal processes, the result was a point cloud with 6.8 million points that was about 619 MB in size
- The final triangulated mesh had 499,062 faces and was 38.2 MB in size after the simplification step
Summary
While the name Toucan evokes the colorful bird, the Toucan 3D scanner ironically struggled most with creating color textures. Continuous, Turntable, Photo Mode. ≤ 0.03mm Near, ≤ 0.1mm Far. ≤ 0.05mm Near, ≤ 0.1mm Far.
