I mostly do mechanical things and no matter how good the scanner is (one billionth of a meter accuracy) the model is going to have errors and weirdnesses that will annoy the slicer slightly. For example the bottom might be flat.
So I always redesign parts from scratch. I use a micrometer. Some people do a scan and then pull it into CAD and on a different "layer" they create the same model from scratch but they can visually line it up with the scan.
For art pieces like sculptures, a scanner is desired.
We don't often release an alpha version of Ultimaker Cura... So what's different this time? This Alpha contains such a huge slicing engine overhaul that we really need your help!
We wish to celebrate and honor the innovators that push forward the field, technology and world. We opted to not present it as a competition or ranked list. Every innovator has earned his spot on that list in their own way. We also look at the 3D printing industry as a whole and not limit the list to those only using Ultimaker.
