Thanks, much appreciated. Perhaps you should ask if they are willing to grant refunds too...

Wow, I just received my Fuel3D Scanify after waiting almost a year, and I have to say I am somewhat underwhelmed. The actual hardware appears very solid and professionally put together, nice packaging, etc, but the software itself seems very immature (seems very hard to get a green circle on the target (to allow you to actually take a photo), and the viewfinder image sometimes appears upside down). But the most important is that the actual 3D results that I have been able to achieve so far have been nothing like the samples on the Fuel3D website. Particular issues seem to be what other people have noted, i.e. that bits like under peoples' noses don't really make an accurate shape. To be honest, looking at a scan of a face from the side, the overall shape is definitely not accurate at all, even though the number of points is very high (the scan meets the advertised "resolution", but perhaps the limitation of the technology means that the accuracy can be quite low). There were also big disconnects in the 3D image. One thing that may help is being able to stitch multiple scans together to make a 3D model, but this doesn't yet seem to be included in the base software, and based on the comments above it is unclear what level of functionality I can expect. For those who have achieved good results, could you please give me some tips as to how to achieve them. I don't know if there is a Scanify-specific forum but I haven't found one yet, so I am posting here as it seems to be the most active community. Thanks, Anton
