The CarveWright Scanning Probe opens up the world of 3D scanning to everyone. Now, you can create a pattern from virtually any object.  Use the probe to reproduce original handmade or carved pieces, duplicate and repair antique furniture and copy and replicate trim and moldings with ease. Practically, any material can be scanned and probe tips are available to protect delicate surfaces.

Just plug the probe into the CarveWright, set the desired scan area, then watch the CarveWright go to work.  The Pattern Editor software comes included with the Scanning Probe purchase and allows manipulation of your scanned image on a pixel by pixel level. 
Most scan objects will require a simple wood sled, or jig, to move it through the machine. The design plans and discussion for making this yourself can be found in the LearningLab.
