Is this $1000 3D SCANNER the FUTURE of PALEONTOLOGY???
In modern paleontology, 3D scanning has become a staple of what we do in our research - paleontologists depend on accurate, high-fidelity, and detailed models of bones to compare specimens that may be housed across the world from each other, and to make data freely accessible to all researchers. Dinosaur fossils may be found as far afield as New York and Beijing, and London to Johannesburg, and we need to be able to study them next to each other to do the best possible science. The problem is that surface scanners can cost well north of $10,000, so only a few labs can afford to even have one. The new Revopoint Miraco seems to be a solution to this problem - at a price of only $1,300, it is significantly more accessible while still offering powerful technology. Is this scanner the future of paleontology? Join James as he finds out!
Special thanks to Revopoint for sending us this scanner for our evaluation - we look forward to using your tools in the future!
