Topic: Real-Time Preview

Just notice (reviewing Kickstarter) that Atlas 3d was supposed to support Real-Time Preview of scanning. Is this limited to selected OSes (mac user myself) or Browser (Safari, mostly)?

Also how do we get the STL's OUT/Off of the Raspberry Pi? And can we edit/fix them?

Thanks
~David

Re: Real-Time Preview

Hi David,

It works with all modern operating systems (Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android) and all of the most common browsers (Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Safari, FireFox, Chrome, etc).   The browser just needs to support WebGL.  You can verify that WebGL is enabled at https://get.webgl.org/  If not, you may need to update your browser or graphics card driver.  The scanner will generate STL files if you click the "Generate STL File" on the SETTINGS page.  To download them, click on the link that says "STL" once a scan is complete. However, if you are doing post processing then I would suggest you generate PLY files instead of STL.  You must definitely can edit/fix them with programs such as MeshLab and MeshMixer.  Pirvan has an excellent tutorial at http://www.soliforum.com/topic/12264/fr … -tutorial/
