3D Scanning Made East & Affordable
Scandy, a 3D scanning & printing organization based in New Orleans, has joined forces with PMD, one of the nations leading 3D sensor developers, to bring us Scandy Pro; an app that allows you to capture high quality 3D scans right from your phone and sensor.
More and more 3D technologies are becoming a part of our daily lives. But professional 3D scanning equipment is very expensive. Scandy’s challenge was bringing high quality 3D scanning at a low cost to customers, and they’ve met that challenge. Scandy Pro is an Android app scanning system for less than $500.
