About this video

Thanks to @ElegooOfficial for sponsoring this video. Check out the M1 Ultra https://geni.us/ElegooM1Ultra ScanRuler is FREE and OPEN SOURCE: https://scanruler.com I built ScanRuler, a completely free and open-source tool that turns 3D scans into something genuinely useful, from precise measurements and deviation analysis to wall-thickness inspection and reverse engineering. With the help of AI, it can even automatically turn a scanned part into a fully editable, parametric CAD model, repair broken features, or design entirely new parts! In this video, I put the new Elegoo M1 Ultra 3D scanner
