Is this $1000 3D SCANNER the FUTURE of PALEONTOLOGY???

  • In modern paleontology, 3D scanning has become a staple of what we do in our research - paleontologists depend on accurate, high-fidelity, and detailed models of bones to compare specimens that may be housed across the world from each other, and to make data freely accessible to all researchers. Dinosaur fossils may be found as far afield as New York and Beijing, and London to Johannesburg, and we need to be able to study them next to each other to do the best possible science. The problem is that surface scanners can cost well north of $10,000, so only a few labs can afford to even have one. The new Revopoint Miraco seems to be a solution to this problem - at a price of only $1,300, it is significantly more accessible while still offering powerful technology. Is this scanner the future of paleontology? Join James as he finds out!
    Special thanks to Revopoint for sending us this scanner for our evaluation - we look forward to using your tools in the future!

    For over a year now, we have asked why James, the smallest crewmate, does not simply eat the other four;.
    That time is evidently upon us.

    It’s strange to see James as not just a head in a box as he ussally is. He’s evolved to his next form.

    an actual short video from the skeleton crew? It's more likely than you think. Although since there is only James Napoli from Gamology the video is only a fifth of the length it would be with all the members.

    @kevinnorwood8782 9 месяцев назад +3

    This scanner seems really hella useful. But I think what we really need to see, Dr. Napoli, is you taking that thing to the museum where you work and testing it there on several of the fossils in the storage areas there. Then you’ll really be putting that thing through its paces. I think I’d definitely love to see a video covering such a test drive at some point.

    Crewmates, I am in need of your insight. The other day, I got into a discussion with someone who insisted that _Ankylosaurus_ only grew to between 3.5 and 4.8 tonnes in body mass, which seemed absurdly low to me. Was I right for doubting them, or am I the one in the wrong?
