The Ciclop 3D scanner is a 100% open source project.All information on the mechanical design, the electronics and the software have been made freely available to the community, to become part of the Technological Heritage of Humanity.

Ciclop is an open source 3D laser scanner with a rotative platform. It has been developed from scratch by bq, and now it has been released to the community, under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.his 3D Scanner is composed by a structure of 3D printed parts and screws, a web cam, two line lasers and a turntable platform with a stepper motor.

The Scanning accuracy is related to the environment, light, adjust, scanned object shape and many other factors. And the post-processing is needed

Main Features:

• Open-source desktop laser 3D scanner.
• Scanning element: CMOS.
• Interface type: USB 2.0.
• The scanning accuracy is related to the environment, light, adjust, scanned object shape.
• Plastic parts are replaced with Injected Moulding Parts. They are more durable than Plastic parts.

Easy to scan objects:

• Object space volume is greater than 5 x 5cm (space diameter and height).
• Object space volume is smaller than 20.3 x 20.3cm.
• Object weighing is less than 3kg.
• Object is stable and immobile.
• Opaque objects.

Difficult to scan objects:

• Object space volume is smaller than 5 x 5 cm.
• Transparent objects (glass, organic plastics and so on).
• Luminous or strong reflective objects.
• Very dark target or surface blur objects (such as plush toys).

Do not scan objects:

• Object space volume is greater 20.3 x 20.3cm.
• Object weighing is greater than 3kg.
• Moving objects.
