More examples of scanning and importation with Shape3d X
In this video I show how to scan some boards with the Peel 3d scanner (https://peel-3d.com/) and how to import the scan into Shape3d to recreate a finished shape.
These scans are the first I've done after Peel 3d lent me the scanner, so I did a few mistakes and they are not perfectly clean. But it worked and the result in Shape3d is very good, and that's what's importatnt!
Note that you'll need the Import option of Shape3d to do it:
