Has anybody used a 3D scanning/3D scanned model cleanup service to archive models into an STL form?What was the service?How much was the service?How long was the waiting for results?Were the final scan results after cleaning easily mistakable for original CAD files for digitally sculpted models?I have some non-GW stuff that I want archived in case the companies go out of business and production of the models don't change hands to another reliable service.Warhammer models have entire scanning communities around them so it is models that aren't Warhammer but worth archiving in my opinion that are my concern.

>>97679275Thanks.I did a quick search and found StrangePlastic and Zealotminiatures offer 3D scanning services.The problem I have with them is that they probably specifically cater towards miniature hobbyists so they probably raise the price more than it normally is due to specializing in a specific area of the 3D scanning industry.And I also have a feeling that they "present themselves as too professional" so ordinary Joe requests get ignored in favour of clients that produce their own miniatures like plastic minis.
>>97680879It’s probably gonna be expensive.Maybe ones that aren’t specifically catering to minis are the best choice.
>>97681815I emailed the two mentioned mini catering services so we'll see how that goes if they even bother to respond. I bet they're probably not going to as they have bigger fish to catch or their nets are already full at the moment.
>>97678830I used Kiri engine after asking about it on /g/ and i like it. They have a free service of like 3 a week so you can try it. I would recommend a spinny table tho if you're doing it.What's your end goal? Mine is to make a mod pack for Talespire of my painted goofy looking minis
