ASCAND 3D Scanning: Combining your Phone & the Cloud. Precise, never outdated, affordable.

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: xplicator

Home: Hamburg, Germany

Traditional 3D scanners lock you into outdated hardware from the moment of purchase, which can be particularly frustrating for those starting on a budget. As your needs evolve from DIY projects to professional-grade solutions, traditional scanners require significant reinvestment, often costing thousands of dollars. ASCAND breaks this cycle by leveraging the continuous advancements in smartphone technology and cloud computing. Simply record a video of your object on the Magic Sleeve Turn Table using your phone and upload it to your ASCAND account. Once processing is complete, you can download your precision 3D model from your dashboard. Avoid cluttering your phone, save battery life, and let the Cloud handle the heavy lifting. Only pay for what you need and get started for less than $100

Dalek FAX

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Dalek Fax Containment Unit

Home: California, United States

Dalek FAX is a r/c life size Dalek replica from the British "Doctor Who" sci-fi tv series.

It is fully remote controlled, can play voice lines and move its head around, originally made from all recycled materials and is designed to be able to roam freely and interact with crowds. We loved taking the Dalek V2 and V3 to Maker Faire Bay Area over the years, after hearing about maker faire starting again in 2024, we decided to resurrect him as a family project with a new body design, more features, and a voice-changer. Nick and I finished him during 2024 Maker Faire and have continued working on him over the last year.

tscann16: A 5k 16mm film scanner

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Catilya

Home: California, United States

tscann16 is a home-brew high quality film scanner. It uses stepper motors to move optical film like a cassette tape player would, and takes hi res photos of each frame with a macro lens on a DSLR, which is controlled with computer vision running on a Raspberry Pi5. It yields a 5k scan of 16mm film, or 4k scan of 8mm film, and can handle damaged film, warped film, film with damaged or misshapen sprockets, delicate films, and handmade films. Tscann16 offers an alternative to lower quality flickering telecine scans, poor quality consumer scanners with cheap lenses and sensors, and unattainably expensive vintage commercial scanners. Tscann16 duplicates can be built at low cost, given a lens and a DSLR. Most parts are 3D printed, and stepper motors from a 3D printer drive the film.
