Capture a full color 3D model of an object, a person, a room, create 3D meshes out of real scenes, and more using Skanect Pro from Occipital. This software allows users to turn their Occipital Structure Sensor, Microsoft Kinect, or ASUS Xtion Pro Live into a 3D scanner that can operate at up to 30 fps.
With this software, users will be able to export .obj, .ply, .stl, and .vrml files, automate watertight repairs, simplify complex geometries, perform precise edits, export to online sharing platforms and printing services, and more. Occipital's Skanect Pro is compatible with Windows 7 or later and Mac OS 10.10 and later.
General Features
Scan at up to 30 fps
Skanect can acquire dense 3D information about a scene at up to 30 fps. Just move around your Structure Sensor, Kinect, or Xtion to capture a full set of viewpoints, and you will get a 3D mesh in real time.
User-Friendly
Skanect makes it easy to 3D scan different kind of scenes by providing a set of pre-defined scenarios, suitable for most use cases. You can then share your models online in a few clicks.
Low Cost
Skanect leverages consumer-grade 3D cameras like the Structure Sensor, Microsoft Kinect, and ASUS Xtion, limiting the hardware cost to a fraction of previous 3D scanning solutions. For a personal and hobbyist use, you can even download a free version of Skanect.
