XYZprinting, the company behind the low-cost da Vinci 3D printer has just upgraded their desktop fabricator with the much awaited 3D scanner, yielding the da Vinci 1.0 AiO (all-in-one) 3D printer and scanner.

In addition to the former da Vinci’s 7.8’’x7.8’’x7.8’’ build size and access to the company’s open source cloud database, the da Vinci AiO will feature a built-in 3D scanner capable of creating a .5 mm resolution scan in five minutes. The machine uses diagonally placed laser sensors in conjunction with a turntable to scan an object in its build area, filling in voids with matching curves and texture to create a comprehensive scan. A 3D scan preview gives users the ability to verify options before scanning and, upon a scan’s completion, objects can be instantly saved.…
