Kickstart a 3D Revolution with Volumental!
So the day we’ve all been working hard for is here! Volumental launched our very own Kickstarter Campaign on 1 August 2013 to develop our upcoming Scan-to-Print web app! For this cause, we are looking to hire a dedicated developer for the project as well as some upgrades to add extra juice to our cloud infastructure.
Having a sophisticated 3D printer is simply not enough to produce great 3D prints; you need to have high-quality 3D models to begin with. Moreover, creating 3D prints from complex 3D models can be a tricky process of complicated computer programs coupled with tedious iterations. We are changing all that with our new 3D Scan-to-Print web app!
Imagine making a 3D model with just a depth camera and your browser, there is virtually no limits except your creativity.
Basically, the Scan-to-Print web app will enable the isolation of objects from your 3D scans, which allows you to transform the 3D model into a water-tight and closed, 3D printable model. The water-tight model is then downloaded and sent off to an online printing service that is ready to print! This new app will be perfect for those objects that you’ve always wanted to 3D print but were inaccessible due to either 3D modeling difficulties or the restrictions of desktop 3D scanners.
How are we going to achieve this? We will need a funding of $20,000 to fund the project and its development. With a successful campaign, we estimate that this awesome app will take 3 months to develop by the hired skilful developer. Once the app has been developed, our beta backers will have the first-hand opportunity of testing out the new web app, before launching to the public!
As a backer, you have a range of pledges to choose from. From a $10 pledge of obtaining 1 free 3D print of your choice to a $2500 pledge of unlimited scans for 2 years and meeting Volumental co-founders in Stockholm too!
