Desktop 3D Scanner Samples

The raw data output format from Cyberware scanners is an ordered point cloud. Cyberware has translators that support a wide variety of output formats, including 3D Studio & 3D Studio MAX, ASCII, Digital Arts, DXF, DXF (3D FACES), IGES 106, IGES 124, IGES 126, IGES 128, Inventor, OBJ, PLY, SCR (AutoCAD mesh), SCR (AutoCAD slice), STL, subdivision surfaces, and VRML. For more information, refer to our file formats listing.

All of the samples provided here have been scanned on a Cyberware Desktop 3D Scanner. Listed with the datasets are the total number of scans required to capture the complete form. All files have been saved in the PLY file format, which is available in the public domain. You can find sample I/O routines in C here:

Unless otherwise marked datasets may be used for any purpose. Credit to Cyberware is appreciated where appropriate. Please direct comments, advice and requests to info@cyberware.com. Additional tools and information may be obtained via our web site.

The intention of Cyberware in releasing these datasets is to both return value to the CG community, to which we are indebted for its past and continued support, and to promote these odd scanning devices that a couple dozen people here sweat over. We are interested to learn and see what you might accomplish by using these models.
