As a KIRI Engine developer, I would say this is a very objective video. Good work! This video inspired us to make our App provide higher quality and make it more affordable in the future. And I believe with the technology growing, 3d scanning with phones will elevate to another level.
Wow, thanks! I look forward to seeing what you guys... and others... do with all this. It's amazing how much gets packed into our phones. I think we all sometimes get blinded by the awesome stuff and forget the limitations. Still, it's all very cool. And thanks so much for watching and commenting!
How about finishing the phiz? I spent almost $800cdn buying this hot garbage, during the pandemic, for you guys to drop support almost immediately after releasing it. I would never, and will never, trust anything from Kiri. After the Phiz joke I'm very surprised your company didn't change its name or disappear. The phone tower that originally came didn't work, battery came unplugged because the glue they use couldn't glue toilet paper, so they sent me a second tower. To show everyone how much of a joke Kiri really is they shipped it to me double boxed. Outside box addressed to me. Second box addressed, and had full postage, to some other person.
Sorry to pull a full rant on this awesome video but I want people to see how much Kiri actually (doesn't) stand behind their products. Especially pulling this crap during the pandemic! I had to scrape my pennies together just to be able to purchase this paper weight. End rant.
@@iamtherealevil Hi there! I'm so sorry to hear about this reply. The time with Phiz 3D Scanner was truly unforgettable even to us. We didn't want to change to a new company because we wanted to remember the good and bad things from the old days so it wouldn't happen again.
@@iamtherealevilthrew mine in the trash…. I feel your pain
@@xingyechrishu6382 they should have been refunded. They don't do anything even remotely to what was displayed in the promotional videos. I spent so much time trying to make it work! I even went as far as building it a 3 sided box to block out everything behind the turntable. I was using a Blackberry Priv and it wouldn't work. So I bought a higher end Motorola One Hyper and still got nothing usable. I was blown away by the promotional videos. So disappointed in the actual product.
Excellent video! I have a BL A1 Mini myself and didn't even know BL MakerWorld had an AI scanner like this. I'm stoked. I love this channel, and I'll be here to watch it blow up with subs in due time, brother. The best of luck to this channel.
Thank you for a very informative and balanced review. As a relative newbie to 3d printing your video really helps
Years ago tried some photogrammetry software that didn't work out so good. Thinking Maker World AI might be my next option. Thank you for testing these out.
Stumbled across this video on RUclips - excellent review and full of easy to understand info with great presentation. I'm now a subscriber!
Awesome, thank you!
This is something I've wanted to get into for a while now. Thanks for giving a good overview on price and quality.
It's not as easy as I thought it would be. That's for sure. With all the modern technology we have, there's really no reason we don't have good, free programs that we can make scans with jpg files. (That are accurate and measurable/modifiable in CAD programs like Solidworks, AutoCAD and other CAD programs). I haven't really found anything like that yet though and have had to always make parts from scratch.
Great video! Thank You‼️👍😊
Great video, thanks, you earned my subscription! I didn't think I'd ever be able to get into scanning, but now I'm going to try it!
Glad I could help! Let us know what you decide to use and what you think about it.
Very good/interesting. Thanks for this 👍🏴🙂
excellent video, thanks for the work
Well you have a new subscriber. Well done sir. Thanks for sharing very objective info on currently available 3D scanners.
Awesome, thank you!
I’m just learning about scanning and this was very helpful. Thanks.
Thanks so much! Glad to help!
Scanning still seems to be, not quiet ready but this is a great overview of what is out there. Thanks for the research. Keep up the great content.
Great info ! Thanks!
very informative, thanks for your work
I love the "😐sorry I don't"
Very informative and helpfull video👍
Great video, Eric! Really enjoyed watching this shoulder-to-shoulder comparison. 3D scanning has involved so much in the past few years. Although many phone apps can do 3D scanning, they don't always use the same 3D scanning methods. There's more than one way to make a smartphone do 3D scanning, there are photogrammetry (traditional but still gives the best mesh if done right), LiDAR (fast, but mesh is not so detailed), FaceID (Meh, not a great choice), NeuS (The tech that KIRI Engine and MakerWorld use, I believe) and the recent 3D Gaussian Splatting (Cool but can't generate mesh). But unfortunately, 3D scanning has always been a niche topic that not many people are aware of the pros and cons and the impact of different 3D scanning methods; it's so nice to see a great video on RUclips that toggles the differences between each 3D scanner app.
Thanks! Yeah, I've always wanted to do this but until now it's been a pain, costly, and never seemed to work. That, and like you said, all the different ways that make no sense! Thanks for the comment!
McMaster university, I guess...so, Canada was good for something.. Did you move back to Xi-land? You said most of the team is in PRC, so maybe you stayed in CDN?
As a dad this is the advice I wanted to hear, quality stuff, cheers
I have been trying to find an affordable, easy to use, scanning app, for personal use, for years now.
Things have come a long way since I first started looking. There is still room for improvement, but some of these are worth the investment, for me.
Thanks for this review. It was very useful.
Cheers,
Thanks for the video. Saved me some time
I've been looking into scanning apps with photos that can be taken with any camera... and the finished scans have to be functionally identical and working parts when they're finished (CAD measurable and modifiable)... but I just haven't had any luck.
Great video! I would be interested to hear your take on using Face ID to scan objects
Gained a sub!
Thanks :-)
I have a CR-scan lizard but really like how easy the phone based one’s seem
Thanks so much! I've looked at the Lizard and others, but for most of us they're all just a little too much to justify occasional use. Hence, this video. (It was really for me to find out, but I thought I'd share.... don't tell anybody). 😋
They also need a powerful computer since they don't do web based rendering. Sent the Ferret back some time ago when it came out...just didn't work.
Now they got the Otter and the Raptor...still waiting for more reviews and might get one 2.nd hand some day.
Maybe we get infrared scanning integrated into phones some day....the Lidar option in the iphone 12+ upwards from a still just for playing around....works with Polycam and realityscan.
You left out LumaAI.
@@heavyweather Hey! Thanks for the info. I just looked at LumaAI again to make sure and they seem to be mostly focused on advertising, Blender, and that type of stuff. It may be possible to export for 3D printing, I'm not sure. I'll add it to the list, though. Thanks!
Very good overview. Good work. I waould like to see the same for scanning self, wife,kids. That would be amazing
That would be interesting. I don't know if an app would work since we all move WAY too much. But you can still try! Have fun! Thanks!
Thanks for the video, I’ve been thinking about exploring scanning. Can’t help but think the details would be more apparent and even with a resin print?
i had the same thought, but I only have FDM. Still, if you start with a "poor" or low quality scan, unless you're REALLY into Blender or something, it's going to come out the same no matter what. Although... maybe I could use this as an excuse for resin....??? 🤔😜
Very good video, and I learn a lot, but the lullaby chimes behind my gosh:))) you have a very decent flow for you to not put this song behind ;))) cheers
Kinda creepy.
I appreciate the time you put into this, but you should’ve used something with a little sharper detail.
Thanks for the nice words! Yeah, I may have missed it on this one. I'm a work in progress, but I'm getting there. ;-)
With the Qlone, you should move your object but move the camera around it, because they need the background for reference!
I tried a number of ways that didn't make the video, even after contacting the company. I'm waiting for an update and hopefully it'll fix the Android version... or at least, my Galaxy S24+. I really want it to work since I think that mat could be a game changer. And that's why I included it even though I didn't get it to work. Thanks for watching!
For that small features you could use openscan.
I have had great luck with openscan! It's a little different than the types reviewed here, but I use it on a weekly basis for scanning small things that would otherwise be super time-consuming to model.
There were no options to choose an approximate “/mm or xyz size?
VERY-INTERESTING :)
THANK YOU FOR SHARING :)
THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)
Cool! Thanks for watching!
I dont do a lot of 3D scanning but when I do I just take the photos and upload to Meshroom on my laptop, I have learned that very busy objects just don't look well in a scan or a 3D print, my best success was some brake/clutch levers I scanned and printed out in Nylon CF for a friend.
If anyone wishes to comment that this is dangerous, don't bother! the levers were tested and well, we couldn't break them.
That's so dang.... HA! I honestly didn't know Meshroom could do that. Sounds interesting. Thanks!
Super video. Very useful and much appreciated, but I think you may have broken MakerWorld :-) Today I see "Image to 3D Model App is Temporarily Suspended" though your link looks like it still works.
HA! Yeah, I saw that the Pic to 3D generator was down, but I didn't notice any scanner issues. I haven't gotten any emails, but maybe they'll scale everything up and get better. Maybe? Thanks for watching!
Always try to use local computing if possible. A good PC setup (not a super expensive rig but one normal people can afford) should be able to handle the work load. Cloud computing leads to subscription grifting.
If you have to sign up for a monthly subscription you may as well save a lot of money and buy a dedicated scanner that will also do a much better job. The free apps looked like they did a decent enough scan for a lot of things.
Maybe I wasn't paying attention but was there not any buy it once options? Were they actually all subscription or free?
RealityScan is FREE, and Magiscan does have a Lifetime option that I would rather spend on a dedicated scanner of $399. Qlone was the best by far at $19.99, but I couldn't use it on Android, which is why you may have missed it. Thanks!
If you’re in the iPhone world… Reality Composer from Apple is free and seems to scan well.
YES! Thanks so much, I was hoping someone would comment with iOS specific experience. Good to know!
Nice thing is the heavy use of the Apple spatial volume building from their AR Kit is working behind the scenes. It not only uses regular photogrammetry, it also combines that with LiDAR, motion sensors, and GPS to dial in the geometry as it captures more. And it’s all calculated on device as well.
I'm looking to convert my car into a car camper. Do you know of any apps that could allow me to scan the interior of my car to layout designs?
Probably a dedicated scanner would be the way to go. I did look at Arloopa but it's more for Augmented Reality stuff, like for Real Estate. That may work? Good luck!
I used a kinect to take a scan of my wife, cleaned it up, printed and painted it. Now she hates it lmao.
I did the same thing! I turned it into a sculpture that sits in the kitchen now. By mixing it up a little bit she has come to really love it.
I need to make a head scan for helmets any help
EM3d was not mentioned and its the best 3d scanning app by far because it uses the IR camera in the FRONT of the iphone which is much better for small objects. And only costs $6 to export to OBJ or STL. The rear LIDAR is good for large objects, not so much for small ones.
Thanks for letting us know! I know that the Lidar and IR is an area the iPhone is ahead of Android, so hopefully this is a good alternative for you iOS users. Thanks again!
As a 3D artist I was actually interested in scanning before I thought of printing. My first attempt was with the Microsoft Kinect. It was pretty horrible.
LOL. Yeah, I tried it as well and total fail. I know a number of people online have it working, but after a few hours of searching, finding drivers and stuff, I gave up. Thanks!
Thanks for the reviews and confirming that for the hobbyist, there isn’t yet a real viable option for scanning. Sad.
Viable? Well, yeah, but some of them do pretty good at this point. Don't forget that I intentionally used the DEFAULT settings in every one to judge them equally, as well as the FREE option. All the Pro levels claim to get better resolution, etc. I plan to do shorts on the Free ones and max out the quality as much as possible. I'm with you, though, I really hoped I'd get a lot better results. Thanks for watching!
I would love to scan a 1/32 model of a RF-4B Phantom jet , enlarging it to 1/12 or 1/8 scale. Then add canards to the front making a mold for an R/C scale model of a YRF-4E, 62-12200. Seems the original plane has been condemned to storage at WPAFB , well it went in for new paint about 12 years ago, was moved to storage after I offered to get some brushes from the shed and come help paint it , yep next day it's status changed ..truth. now one person at the base was kind enough to send me some photos ....but during those 12 years this retiree, got old, it happens if your lucky .take care .
Wow! That would be an awesome project. If you could scan it, I would definitely recommend a more robust 3D scanner. If you only have pics, you might be able to use a Pic to 3D converter like MakerWorld has, but I've found that NONE of them really work great... yet. Also, you're not old... just wiser! Keep it up and thanks for watching!
Getting the message “3D to model app is temporarily suspended” due to service loads. Is this the app you’re referring to or am I barking up the wrong tree?
This is on MakerWorld AI.
I just tried it and it's working, but I've seen a number of people mentioning it's been down occasionally. Just to be sure, it's at MakerWorld, click MakerLab at the top, then scroll down to AI Scanner. Hopefully it'll work for you soon! Thanks!
Have you tried scanning using an XBox Kinect?
Yes! I was going to mention it in the video but it was already super long. I've been a PC tech in the past and use Windows, so I thought it would work. But after LOTS of different tutorials, drivers, and WAY too many hours, I just gave up. I know the multi-camera thing should give a much better scan, but it just didn't work for me. A lot of people have done it, though, so go for it! Thanks for watching!
Can't see paying monthly for any program.
Those paid for ones is ok if you're doing a lot of scanning, but if you want a one off then it's a bit of an issue.
every time i try using one of those apps the result is disappointing. i've had some luck with desktop Photogrammetry but it is too much work and hunting down the "free" apps is no longer possible.
Yep! That's the main reason I did this video because I was fed up with it and just wanted to know. Hopefully you found something that helped. Thanks for watching!
Have you looked into gaussian splatting at all? That's where I'm heading in my 3D scanning adventure. As all these softwares as services are pretty bad.
I haven't heard of that, but I'm kind of like most people... why I did this video ;-) Just trying to see what's what. I'll definitely look into it. Thanks!
8:20 Damn, that's just abysmal. You try 3mf format? Some of the CAD programs I've tried warn me about saving STL files and ask me to save a 3MF file instead, which can also be imported to most slicers without losing so much quality. I can't say for certain that's true, because the STL files I've made have all been identical to the 3MF files I've made so far... but that's what the software claims when you try to save a file in STL format.
Hey! Yes, 3MF is the way that EVERY program should save At this point, especially with multi-color or even just a a slicer that can do multiple plates, STL is outdated. FYI, 3MF saves printer settings, models on different plates, colors, and all other slicer settings. The only drawback is that if your printer is different, you'll have to make the adjustments appropriately for your printer. Or just load geometry only, which is basically STL. But at least you have options with 3MF.
@@my3DPrintLab That's good to know. I've been wondering how people save their files when they're using more than one filament, because I've never seen an STL file with more than one color (and STL is what the vast majority of files I download tend to be for some reason).
Weird, not seeing Maker World in the play store.
It is web-based. He says so at the beginning of the section. 12:26
I agree! It's a great web-site, and the Bambu Handy app is good, but I would like to see a dedicated app for this kind of thing. Of course, that means they'll probably charge, so.... maybe not! 😋
Have you tried Scaniverse?
I have not but I have seen it in the past and missed it for this one. There's just SO MANY different apps out there, and this video was already my longest by far. Sigh... I guess I'll have to do another test run... but not soon, this one wore me out! 😜 Thanks!
Well I think your video just prompted MakerWorld to take down the site due to substantial increase in usage XD
Yeah! Back up today... I think. Crazy! Thanks!
as of 21 of may 2024 Makerworld ai scanner is suspended due to surge in traffic.
I just tried it and it appears to be working (27th). I love the idea that my little video caused this, 😜 but I would assume they're constantly tinkering since it's in the Lab section. Thanks for watching!
@@my3DPrintLab U did help spread the word all the way to norway at least :) gg mate . u earned a sub
That ice cream music playing in the background is very annoying. You might want to get rid of the music when doing reviews
Makers world ai is down for now
free and the best? big question if it's free are you the product?
Unfortunately, as with everything nowadays, when you sign up or even get online and consume "cookies," the answer would be.... yes. Sigh. Yes, we are. 😬 BUT! Hopefully we can have fun and get something in return, right?
I wish I wasn't so old now -- I'm 63 and a retired certified millwright.
I'm also not very computer literate. I can do email and copy n paste --- LOL.
I looked into 3D scanning years ago before I even dreamed of buying a printer. It was obvious to me at the time that scanning was THE issue. If they can't build a scanner that sends code to a printer ACCURATELY then it's all a waste of time, at least for someone like me who is computer challenged. I have trouble even using the paint program and still don't know how to use it very well.
Why would I want to use 3D printing ?
I can build almost anything I need on my milling machine or my lathe.
The problem is that if the item is complex then 3D scanning n printing is THE answer as it's to complicated for a home machinist.
The other issue.
3D printing involves plastic. I want to make an item out of wax but there are NO wax printers out there.
Why wax ?
Answer: Because if I have a wax mold I can cast the item in metal. I also do aluminum casting. I'm still working on the porosity issue. But at the end of the day I want the final product in metal.
By the way, great video.
Thanks for watching! Lots of things to unpack here! ;-)
First, You're not old! Keep going and have fun!
Next, I don't think any scanner actually sends it to the printer. You always have to do some editing and stuff, but it's definitely getting easier.
As far as Why? Check out some of my other videos. It's fun, I fix a LOT of stuff around the house, and well, it's fun!
For wax stuff, 3D printing is PERFECT for making molds. Of course, you have to design it first, or find it online, but it's a great way to go. Candles, silicon, wax... you name it. Just use the right filament for the heat requirements.
I do a lot of woodworking and love using my lathe as well, but 3D printing has fixed a LOT more things around the house. I mean, the bed and table and stuff I've made are great, but not spending $10 or $50 bucks here and there on stuff that breaks, and making it to my personal taste, is pretty awesome. Like the rings I did in a video that go around my ceiling lights. Designed in about 5 minutes, printed all in an hour or so, and they look like I bought them.
It's a new skill, yes, but I obviously love it. Thanks again! (sorry for rambling!!!)
There are filaments available developed for "lost wax casting".
@@my3DPrintLab Thank you for the reply -- it's not rambling, it's sharing info. Thx.
@@faramineuzefotos2975 I didn't know that. Thanks for the reply.
Resin 3d printers can print wax models for lost wax casting. No different than carving wax. That's how almost all custom jewelry is made these days. Nobody hand carves wax anymore.
shock yourself plz. i'm tired of being shocked.
Thanks for the great info. The video would have been much more enjoyable without the VERY DISTRACTING BACKGROUND MUSIC.
Noted! I'm still trying to figure out my "lane" in all this, but I'll hopefully get there eventually. Thanks for the input and watching!
For what it's worth, I found it pleasant, relaxing, and didn't think about it until I read this comment.
@@shweenz I see...
Im truly not suprised the AI app is free. AI is pushing into our lives, many of ys refuse it, so offered as free traps some people.
two sets of 'a 3rd place and two 1st places'... not the way I would've done it
That’s how rankings work. If you have 2 firsts, that takes the place of second, so the next place is third. He made a mistake to do it with the one first and the two thirds, though.
Yeah, I debated that, trying to be proper, though. Two "1st" cancel out 2nd place, and I didn't want to short the two apps in 3rd place. But, I think I get the idea across. I hope. Maybe? 🤔😀 Thanks for watching!!!
The information is useful but the constant repetitive 10 note "music" is INCREDIBLY ANNOYING! If I wanted stupid music, I would subscribe to some of RUclips's "music" channels.
That's unfortunate, because I could use the information, but you lost me at 8:54 in - just too much unneeded junk in the audio.
If you neither sing nor dance, your video does not need "music".
I rarely give a thumbs down but your "music" making the information unavailable has earned one for blocking access to useful information :-(
Thanks for the helpful and honest insights. I greatly appreciate that you watched and commented. I'm constantly working to get better. Thanks again!
So what I got from this video is *THEY ALL SUCK.* Thanks, not that i expected much considering purpose built 3D scanners aren't any better unless you get into the $10,000 range.
Those devices will be obsolete so quickly anyway .. staying away from them.
@@suzyamerica4679 Well if you say so, but can you expand on your point? You know something the rest of don't?
I apologize if it came across that way. Not my intent, especially since I did get prints for most of them. All depends on your needs, I guess. And remember, I did 50% printing with "Default" settings. I plan to expiriment a good bit more as I have time, seeing what looks better. And the Pro versions all "claim" to have better stuff, but I was more looking out for casual users trying to do this on the cheap. Like me! 😀 Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@my3DPrintLab and like me also, I figure I would be scanning a handful of times per year, so paying for a subscription or spending thousands on a scanner is simply not practical. I tried the makerworld upload thing but that failed because of the file format. Stupid of them to not state front and centre what file format they want since they wouldn't accept the common .mp4. Anyway I moved on.
Background music annoying.
Sorry Karen
Still learning and trying out things, hopefully you'll give me another try. Thanks for watching!

Save your money, time and frustration and buy an actual 3d scanner.
