Well, it seems all the forums I can find are mostly about DIY of one's house.
My question is a bit different. I was going to buy a 3d scanner by Creality, but it has legal issues with a bigger company Artec, so it seems that I will never buy their scanner as there's nothing to buy. And all the existing ones are too expensive for me,
I have an Idea of making a DIY 3d scanner. I've tried photogrammetry where you use a camera to take many photos of an object and then make a 3d model of it.
I think this technology can be used to make kind of 3d scanner, so it has to be automated. I understand that a stationary scanner would be enough, so I would need to automate a turntable to rotate the object, as well as make camera take photos in a row, Actually they should be synchronized. I don't understand how I can automate the rotation of the camera, as turntable rotates along one axis but the camera should rotate along the other. I'd like to find out that maybe someone have already tried something like this, so they can share some tips or ideas.
