OpenScan has launched a new 3D scanning gallery platform that showcases user-generated scans from around the world. The open-source project provides tools for creating high-quality 3D models using photogrammetry techniques with just a smartphone or camera.

The gallery serves as both a demonstration of the platform's capabilities and a community resource where users can share their work. Each scan includes metadata about the capture process, equipment used, and software settings, making it valuable for both hobbyists and professionals learning photogrammetry techniques.

By providing this centralized showcase, OpenScan aims to lower barriers to entry for 3D scanning while building a collaborative community. The platform supports various file formats and includes features for viewing, downloading, and remixing existing scans, creating an ecosystem for digital fabrication and virtual reality applications.
