ReconstructMe and the new generation Kinect for Windows

We have many requests concerning the rumors about the new generation Kinect by Microsoft. Developers have been able to apply to take part of the Kinect for Windows developer kit program. It provide developers with tools and a pre-release sensor, so the can start building new applications before general availability in 2014. Of course we took the chance and we are currently working on several updates of ReconstructMe for the new Kinect features.

So please be patient and be sure that we will offer you an updated version of ReconstructMe for the new generation Kinect for Windows.

In the meantime grab our current version,
which has been updated a few weeks ago. We ensure that purchasing ReconstructMe always provides many updates.
So have fun with our real-time 3D scanning software.

ReconstructMe SDK [Software Developer Kit]

ReconstructMe SDK [Software Development Kit] is your one stop source for real-time low-cost 3D reconstruction. ReconstructMe SDK provides methods and types to control the real-time 3D reconstruction process. ReconstructMe SDK targets simple applications as well as multi-sensor reconstruction processes. It is designed to be

  • easy-to-use A generic and consistent SDK allows you grasp the concepts quickly and develop your first reconstruction application within minutes.
  • easy-to-integrate The SDK has pure C-based API without additional compile time dependencies. Interopability with other languages is easly possible.
  • high-performance The SDK is designed to provide a maximum performance for a smooth reconstruction experience.

ReconstructMe at the 4th International 3D Body Scanning Conference

As you know, we presented our ReconstructMe software at the 3D Body Scanning Conference. Christoph hold a keynote on Wednesday in the technical session. A Portable, Low Cost 3 D Body Scanning System. The response was amazing, many questions, many answers. We are on the right way! It motivated us to go further on developing. We met interesting people and he got home with many new ideas.

 

 

Why you can’t ignore 3D scanning technology

3D printing and 3D scanning made the jump to your home or office! Scientists are using this technology for a long time and you would never believe, what they are using it for. Take a look. We have searched the internet to find some excellent examples of what has already been created, and what possibilities lie ahead.

Which 3D printing material is the right one for your project?

After 3D scanning and 3D printing got affordable the last years, we thought about the printing materials. Is there a difference? What material for what use? There is a wide range of manufacturing materials, the range lets you maximize the benefits of 3D printing.

There are many types of material in general. Depending on what you want to do. Plastic, metal or ceramic, for example. It also depends on the printer you have, working temperature and much more. But do not get frustrated. Many of the online shops offer various sample material kits, good documented datasheet and comparison sheets.

Well, the most important thing is, do not just buy the cheapest one. Ok, price is a big point, but think of the results, too! Do you want a smoothness in you printing results? A detailed version or colored one?

Send us your material shops. We always searching for new sources..

What is you favorite material and what have you scanned and printed so far? Send us your scans!

ReconstructMe Live at the 4th International 3D Body Scanning Conference

BodyScanningConferencePosterReconstructMe will be showing off its capabilities at the 4th international 3D body scanning conference taking place on the 19th and 20th of November. We’ll be showing off scanning with multiple cameras, post-processing and auto-calibration features of ReconstructMe SDK. If you want to meet us in person, make sure you’ll register for the

4th International 3D Body Scanning Conference
The Westin Long Beach
333 E Ocean Blvd
Long Beach, CA 90802, USA

Christoph will be holding a speech on Wednesday in technical session 13 – A Portable, Low-Cost 3D Body Scanning System. Besides, there is enough time to get scanned during the poster session.

See you in Long Beach.

Room, Scanned with ReconstructMe in a few Seconds

We made a quick scan of our room by moving the Kinect around, and extracted the mesh that was created in realtime as an STL. Here is what it looks like:

The original mesh is quite large–it has 578,732 vertices, 1,110,366 faces. All this was created in realtime.

You can download the generated STL files here, and we also have a reduced version to save your bandwith:

{filelink=1}
Large, unfiltered version with 578,732 vertices and 1,110,366 faces. 21.6 MB

{filelink=2}
Reduced version with 31,033 vertices and 55,517 faces. 1.21 MB

Have fun :)
