The MakerBot Digitizer Desktop 3D scanner enables fast and easy creation of 3D models for prototyping and modeling applications. Consisting of a 1.3 Mpixel camera with a CMOS image sensor and two eye-safe Class 1 laser line generators, the MakerBot digitzer creates a 3D digital file in just two clicks in about five minutes. It outputs standard 3D design file formats which can be modified and improved in third-party 3D modeling programs like Autodesk’s free MeshMixer software. With the scanner, users can digitize physical objects up to 8” in diameter and 8” tall and up to 6.6 lbs. In addition, the MakerBot digitizer features USB connectivity and includes MakerWare software.
