Hi Joseph, Great question.If you want a rule of thumb for accuracy, then it should be the closer the better.  But I will caveat this with the fact that most scans do not need the best ac...

Is there a rough rule of thumb we should be following in terms of achieving the best positional accuracy?  I'm guessing that you get the best result when the project and camera focus are at th...

Hi Brandon,  The CaptureImage task is now publicly accessable, so you can capture single images with the Python library or through the API. Update your THREE software and you'll have it.

Hi Brandon,  Apologies! The Python library has been made public now. The single image capture is being added to the V3Schema (API) and will be available soon. Thank you for the reminder. &n...

On the topic of point noise - in the camera settings you should favour Exposure over Gain. In your  screenshot, I would try the next level up on Exposure, and reduce the Gain. Gain introduces ...

I like to use Noise Reduction at 31 or 16, depending on the size of the object I'm scanning. For really detailed, small surfaces (like a coin) I go for 31. Otherwise I go for 16. Is that the offic...

Ok, this is pretty awesome.  I was able to make a magnetic nest for the remote so that I can mount the remote on a pole.   Video in imgur album

Also, it looks like the repo for the Python library is set to private. I am getting a 404 from Github and it doesn't appear in the list of repos here.

Hi Mark, thanks for your question! First off, we've not tested the scanner in the cold depths of space, I suspect if it is frozen it's not going to work. But leaving that aside... The scanner can ...

We’re thrilled to announce the initial release of the Matter and Form THREE Python library! This library allows any developer the ability to control and interact with the Matter and Form THRE...

Any ETA for the still image capture APIs? I saw an open issue but it's been there for a while.

Dear Matter and Form team, I am a researcher working on robotic sensing for remote, autonomous inspection of modular systems.  Ultimately we hope to be able to do autonomous inspection tasks ...

Our intention is for this forum to become the knowledge base for programming THREE. Rather than answering questions via email, we will answer them publicly, here, so that over time they will become...

Yes.  If I am doing a capture session away from my desktop (similar to the early example of scanning the air intake manifold while in the garage) and can successfully create the merged mesh th...

Hi Joseph! Thanks for the suggestion. I've passed it on to the dev team! Just to be clear, you want a way to export projects directly to cloud storage? The idea is that you do some scans on THREE u...

This is way lower on the priority, but when using a tablet/chromebook to do a capture session, it would be nice to be able to shut down and pack everything away after the capture is done.  But...

I had noise reduction set to 20.  The capture settings were always the same as shown here, while brightness and turntable scan/sweep were occasionally adjusted as needed.  

Looking good. Are you using the noise reduction option when scanning? I've tried using it at different levels, but I've honestly found I get the best/smoothest results when I just leave it cranked ...

Nice work Joseph, thank you for sharing!! Trevor.

I also posted a video showing off the different merged meshes and textures here (Twitter)
