here is a quick scan from a faro focus premium scanner. Shot in accelerated profile with panocam and registered to a mean scan error of .15" https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Oe_8mGkfHCj5p1spZcFjpo0utdE6B6c0/view?usp=sharing

Hello, I use 3DMakerPro products and made a tutorial showing how to use them with CloudCompare and Blender (although this should work with most any manufacture's products). Also have a few downloadable lidar files in the video description over on YouTube.

Hi Everyone, I run a Faro Focus premium scanner. I will be posting some sample files this evening.

Welcome to LiDAR Collective! I'm excited to kick off this community and bring together LiDAR enthusiasts, hobbyists, and professionals from around the world! The goal is simple: Create a place where anyone interested in LiDAR and 3D scanning can connect, share, experiment, and learn from one another, regardless of experience level or equipment. One of the biggest things I want to encourage here is sharing real-world scan files and point cloud data. Whether you're a professional using FARO, Leica, Trimble, NavVis, or other scanning technology, or a hobbyist who simply enjoys working with 3D data, this community is for you. 📂 Share Your Scans — Upload or link to point clouds, sample datasets, and interesting projects for others to explore. 🎓 Learn & Experiment — Download shared files, test different software, practice processing data, and improve your skills. 📡 Explore Different Technologies — Learn about terrestrial, aerial, mobile, and handheld LiDAR systems. 🤝 Connect & Collaborate — Meet people worldwide, ask questions, exchange knowledge, and help others grow. 💻 Share Your Knowledge — Post tutorials, software tips, workflows, and solutions to common problems. You don't need to own a $50,000 scanner to be part of this community! All you need is an interest in LiDAR and 3D scanning. For professionals, I encourage you to share sample datasets whenever possible (with permission and sensitive information removed). Your files could help someone learn a new skill or get started in this incredible industry. 👋 Let's Get to Know Each Other! Introduce yourself in the comments: 1. 🌎 Where are you located? 2. 📡 Are you a hobbyist, professional, or just getting started? 3. 🛠️ What scanner or software do you use (if any)? 4. 📂 What types of scans or projects would you love to see shared here? I'm looking forward to seeing what we can build together! Welcome to LiDAR Collective — let's connect, share, and explore the world in 3D! 🚀
