An iPhone (X, 11, 12) 3D Scanner App that Works? (EM3D: Ethan Makes 3D Scanner)

[@v_saggiomo]

What do you think about it? have you tried it?

[@Hoodlum555]

I’ve scanned my face which is now printing :) pretty amazing software in my opinion, and that’s without a lidar. I’m also printing a small turntable to try it out on smaller objects.

[@Ken-zg3ze]

Did you try to scan smaller objects? I am looking to scan 20-50mm parts and I don't need perfect accuracy just a general shape.

[@v_saggiomo]

@@Ken-zg3ze the smallest thing I've tried was the "baby Yoda", which is 7cm. It picks up the shape but not the very fine details kzbin.info/www/bejne/moemk42jfr2iiqs

[@Ken-zg3ze]

@@v_saggiomo Yeah I saw the Yoda when I watched the video. Didn't realize it was so small. I guess that works as a demo. Thanks

[@adonian]

Before I even finished watching your video I went to the App Store and got EM3D and did a test scan of my ugly face and WOW 😮. This is gonna be useful for me making 3D printed helmets that will actually fit. Now to finish watching your video 😉

[@TorQueMoD]

Just bought the program. It's so awesome! I'm shocked it's only got 4 reviews on the app store according to my phone. It's amazing.

[@piggy9948]

Awesome! So excited to check this out, my family’s mind is blown haha. So glad the dev made it free to scan things :)

[@ethansdad3d]

Great review. Looking forward to more videos with your charming style. There's a "hidden" feature of EM3D. If you start the screen recording while on the "scene preview" screen, it hides the Action and Dismiss buttons while you're recording, so you have a big empty canvas. On the contrary, if you start screen recording while on a different screen, it assumes you're doing a tutorial video, so it doesn't hide the buttons.

[@v_saggiomo]

thanks, have been looking for a good, reliable, and cheap 3D scanner for a long time :)

[@conniemadden592]

I've used this app also. It's pretty cool!

[@v_saggiomo]

I'm surprised by the tracking

[@VictimsOfChaos]

Nice in depth review. Thanks for doing comparisons so I didn’t have to. I downloaded the EM3D scanner app and can’t stop scanning things.

[@KavorkaDesigns]

BS, same comment as above! Paid commenting much? All 3D scanning is crap, esp the quality portrayed in this 2D video..

[@troya.8675]

Very in depth, thorough review. Great work. By the way currently using the EM3D scanning app, and loving it!

[@KavorkaDesigns]

Paid commenting much? All 3D scanning is crap, esp the quality portrayed in this 2D video..

[@jaytea2140]

This makes a bit more sense considering the “Face ID” dealio.

[@GilMcGillivary]

Thanks for showing The Way!

[@v_saggiomo]

that was the way :D

[@5265060]

this works so much better than the "Capture" App. Thanks Man!

[@Hoodlum555]

youve just blown me away! I think I will be selling my makerbot digitizer now ! I also downloaded and paid for the full software.

[@222dillon]

Drinking game: take a drink every time he says “it just works” You’ll become Jim Lahey real quick.

[@v_saggiomo]

amateurs... check all my videos and drink when I say "ok" or "so". Double shot for "ok, so...". that's what I call drinking :D

[@CosmicCastaway1988]

I am gonna try this with a friend's IPhone in a few days. I'm hoping to get a good enough model to size cosplay helmets to my head

[@octFR]

I need help, the scan I made is of good quality but when I export it in obj, stl whatever it is the quality deteriorates

[@shrameesrivastav1130]

Yaaah! I tested a bunch of apps. ScandyPro came closest but was fucking annoying. This looks really promising! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@MihaiDobrin88]

i dont know if the paid version is any better but the free one is useless it does loose track all the time impossible to get a scan

[@screenwearstudio740]

I just realized I need a crocheted yoda.

[@v_saggiomo]

who doesn't? :D

[@kutay_ozkeskin]

Didnt work on my iPhone 11 App crash on startup :(

[@boshrek4759]

2023 - do you still recommend? I plan on scanning my sculptures

[@v_saggiomo]

app-wise yes. otherwise there are some handheld scanners available now (for example the revopoint ones)

[@boshrek4759]

thank you@@v_saggiomo

[@kennethcalimpong7919]

Thankyou so much for making this , liked and subscribe, Aloha

[@In1t3ch]

I always lose tracking, how did you get the Yoda to scan like that?

[@v_saggiomo]

I think I've put it on a plate, fixed the iPhone and slowly rotate the plate.

[@imnotryuu6391]

I have a question, I’m just trying the em3d app and every time it finishes a scan it automatically softens the polygons losing detail in the process Is this how the file will export or is just part of the preview

[@edprybylko]

Any Androids planned for LIDAR in near future?

[@stevethompson3353]

Is there a android version, when i downloaded the one in the play store - i realized it was a viewer only. Did not see a em3d scanner

[@v_saggiomo]

I think it's only for the iPhone (front face camera)

[@donnawalsh1318]

Hi I have ordered that on my iPhone 12 pro, I have been practicing a lot and definitely looking good but now, I was wondering I ordered the all you download stl files but I do seem to have a hard time downloading these to my computer. Any help would be awesome. thank you

[@v_saggiomo]

after "export stl" then you get the possibility of sending it via airdrop or email to your computer

[@donnawalsh1318]

Thank you so much for replying quickly. I am trying to get it in my email but won't even transfer. Maybe I will try airdrop. Not sure how else to download to my laptop which is crazy.

[@mohammadkhader9742]

so this app can scanning hands ?

[@v_saggiomo]

most probably yes

[@wellplayed7430]

How did you export the file to your computer

[@v_saggiomo]

there are tons of export option. on a Mac I used airdrop

[@jeorane]

Please, does it work with the LIDAR sensor of iPhone 12?

[@v_saggiomo]

no, this use the front face camera, not the camera LIDAR on the back. (or at least not yet)

[@michaelray5622]

​@@v_saggiomo , i do believe it uses the front TrueDepth that is actually more in-depth and has finer measurements for scanning a face than LiDAR that's designed for larger range depth mapping over a wider range.

[@joseenriquejoson1994]

Too bad I have Android Edit: I hope they added support for Android phones
