The Digitizer team at MakerBot is hard at work trying to make the scanning experience as easy and intuitive as possible for our users. We want the Digitizer to help take the guess work and effort out of creating good models for 3D printing and 3D modeling projects.
For example, other 3D scanning options often deliver files with missing data, like this puppy on the left. The puppy model is filled with holes, which makes it almost impossible to process for 3D printing or use for additional 3D modeling. Repairing all the holes is crucial but it can be a time-consuming process. In order to fulfill on the promise of time savings and ease of use, we engineered our MakerBot Digitizer Desktop 3D Scanner to automatically repair any holes and streamline the capture and print process. The result is that you can send every scan to your 3D printer without any repair work. A round of a-paws for our hole-free puppy!
