3D

A leisurely kind of day pottering about. While searching for ways of transfering 3D files last weekend I found a trial version of a laser scanning application named David. Lots of help on using it as well, so I purchased a cheap laser level to try it out when on a shopping trip. The software did work, but the definition in the trial version was not up to much. Nevertheless, the technology has come a long way as one can set the thing up in an hour or so with very little equipment and scan real objects for input into a 3D CAD program etc.
The level will come in handy anyway. Perhaps when next I am in the black I will fork out for the software license.
