== About ==
The Matter and Form 3D Scanner is an affordable, high resolution 3D scanner that is compact, portable, fully assembled and easy to use right out of the box.
The Matter and Form 3D Scanner is a $500, medium-resolution 3D scanner with a motorized platform to turn the object. It uses the same kind of scanning as a Microsoft Kinnect, it looks like, maybe? First-generation "affordable" home 3D scanners mostly all suck, and this sucks a bit less than most, but it still is not exactly awesome.
Works best with curved solid shapes with texture.

I think these things have a ways to go before they are very useful. The calibration card or box that shipped with the scanner is missing. There's a DIY version that I made that I'll leave with it, that seems to work. Very slow.
== Software ==
Available at https://matterandform.net/download/install and you have to register your email but they don't seem to validate it against anything, I just used my PS1 email. Available for Mac or Windows.
== How to use ==
Software almost self-explanatory. Connects by USB, you will have to calibrate before scanning.
