eora 3D Scanner Combines Smartphone and 3D Printing Technology

The eora 3D Scanner combines 3D printing technology with smartphone technology.
According to 3D Printing Industry:

As the capabilities within smartphone and 3D printing technology expand by the second, we are now bearing witness to the many ways that these two technologies can be combined in order to complement one another. One optimal example of this tech-collaboration is the eora 3D Scanner, a high-precision scanning device that attaches to your smartphone.  The eora, previously covered on 3DPI, is now making its way from the Sydney Maker Faire, where the scanner was unveiled last August, to a promising Kickstarter campaign, where the eora 3D team is releasing it to the public at an affordable cost ($199 for 3D scanner/ $259 for 3D scanner with Bluetooth Turntable).
The eora 3D Scanner is compatible with both iOS and Android smartphone software, and is completely app-driven and easy-to-use. What makes this scanner special is its green light laser, which contains a glass lens with anti-reflective coating and has a wavelength of 520 nm. The range of the scan reaches up to 3 feet, and has a robust capture size of 3 feet x 3 feet, as well.
Although these scan limitations only allow for small-to-medium sized objects to be scanned, the resolution of the eora 3D scanner is 8 million vertices, making for an extremely precise and high-quality 3D scan, especially for the scanner’s compact size. Not only does the scanner capture a high-definition scan, it also does it extremely quickly, boasting a total scan time of just five minutes. After the scan is completed, the 3D model of the selected object will display itself on your smartphone screen, giving you direct access through the eora 3D application.
