New STL Creation Tool: Trace Modeler
I’ve always daydreamed of putting things in a tub and filling it with chocolate milk one centimeter at a time and taking a picture. Then I’d do edge detection on the objects and stack them up to make a 3D model.
I don’t have to dream anymore. It appears that Trace Modeler will do just that and more! It will also automatically output STLs! Very cool!
Super mega bonus points to this project for being open source. You can download the source here!
