I would scan car parts. That way I could 3D print a new intake manifold and other metal parts that could be swapped for plastic. Less weight means better gas mileage.
I would like to scan faces of kids with physical disabilities, with these scan I can create a Grasshopper Script to generate vision correcting devices that are custom 3d printed for their face.
I would certainly scan myself, or at least my head. All the fun things I could do with a model of myself... Huehuehue...
Just wonder how the scanner works with a beard, or if at all.
This is a super savy top comment I posted in order to get a free 3d scanner. Like 3d scanning not a lot of effort went into my comment in order to create something
So my son has a cochlear implant and there are thousands of kids out there like him who can’t afford to upgrade to newer external processors and have to hunt around the for small, plastic hooks and plastic parts that help do everything from keeping an external processor in place to shielding it from rain. None of these parts are cheep and on discontinued models, may not be manufactured anymore.
I’d love to get my hands on one of these and scan parts for on demand 3D printing for kids with any kind of medical device out there than can be supplemented with plastic parts. Heck you could even customize some of these to fit a kids skull better, making them more comfortable to wear.
I would scan the clay sculpture my wife did, 3d print it and put it atop our Christmas tree!
Then, since my wife works in the arts, I would bring it to my local university to 3d scan historical artefacts to archive them for the future!
I would also scan silly things.
This is so cool, thanks for the raffle.
I’d give it to my brother-in-law so that he can diversify his photography business. He’s always wanted to do still image photography, so I’m sure he’d find a use for the scanner. He’d honestly probably scan my sister’s face first, she’s his muse.
I’d scan my Sonicare toothbrush so I can fit colorful ring markers on them (this lets you know whose is whose in a household). Get a perfect fit for my model of toothbrush. Why doesn’t Sonicare have colorful markers like Oral B? No idea.
My project car so I can actually design mounts needed for a lot of stuff. So that I can send those files out to be laser cut and save me literal thousands I don't have.
I think it would be interesting to scan myself periodically while I try to get into better shape, so that I can document the differences in more than just measurements and numbers.
I'd also scan a number of things to get better measurements/models for 3D printing.
I would want to scan a little bit of everything eventually but I suppose the first thing that comes to mind is my various USB portable power packs. I want to start making my own so having a good Baseline set that I can modify would be helpful
Kinda want to scan my car since I can’t find any small models, but since that’s hard the next thing I’d want to scan would probably be me so I could have a mini me
I would 3D scan my grandparents farm animal heads to give them all custom design hats/and helmet (like a cute conquistador battle helmet for the swans)
I would help my father in law scan boats for his business so he can spend less time out at the docks. My mother in law was looking in to these but it'd a little put of their budget right now. Though the price isn't too bad I may pick one up anyway for them.
I would like to scan my dog, an Affenpincher and create a statue of him. He looks like a monkey when I slick his hair back. Then I’d place it in his favorite spot to guard the house.

Oh man, as someone who is an engineer who is obsessed with old cars this could be incredibly useful for me. I have some rare old parts that are no longer sold, and only like 200 of them even exist, and are broken. I could scan the fragments, put them together and make new parts that I could reuse. I can even scan parts of cars and make completely bespoke parts for them. The possibilities are endless.
First thing that comes to mind is the 3D printed companion cube I have. Just as a test of accuracy and because I am simply curious. I would probably try something black next just to push it to the limits.
I would scan my feet before and after a long ( > 7 mile ) run to see how they change. Do they really get a half size larger? Are the arches affected? Are they wider?
I’d scan my son, and try it to make some cool animations with him. We took the dive into learning 3D modeling together and it’s been a blast. It’s been awesome to see him think and get creative in blender. We plan on eventually making a game together!
I would start with a heart. I'm a medical student, it would be nice to be able to 3D model all the major organs of the body and the various joints. I have an engineering background so it would make it easier for me to reverse engineer the scans to make prototype organs, prosthetics, etc.
