LiGrip O2 Review Incoming, a new SLAM LiDAR contender from Green Valley. Equipped with a Hesai XT32M 300 m range sensor, high‑precision IMU, dual visual SLAM cameras, and three panoramic photo cameras. Will it live up to the hype? I’ll be testing it over the next few days.

Heads up, everyone!!! BricsCAD is on sale with 15% off until month’s end! Big thanks to @skylowrider4360 for the tip. BricsCAD says they usually run this deal only twice a year.

Reverse‑engineering a Toyota 3000 GT taillight from an STL file.
The original model was provided only as a single‑sided surface with no thickness.
The reconstruction is being carried out in BricsCAD.
Tutorial coming soon.

New SLAM LiDAR contender just dropped!
Manifold Tech, a robotics company based in Hong Kong, has introduced the Pocket 2 equipped with a LiVOX Mid‑360 sensor and three 2MP RGB cameras.

I ran a quick test, and their SLAM algorithm feels rock‑solid. From what I can tell, all three RGB cameras are integrated into the SLAM process.

A full test is coming tomorrow. As for pricing, still no info, not even on their official site. Stay tuned!

This is the complete car body scan compiled from all four scanners. In the previous video, I forgot to include the S1 and Raptor Pro. The scans appear nearly identical—no clear differences are visible. Because car panels are large, with gradual shifts in geometry and minimal fine detail, variations are hard to detect. The purpose of this video was to evaluate the scanners’ endurance and measure drifting errors during the process.

Trying out Creality’s latest all-in-one 3D scanner, the Sermoon P1. Can’t spill the full details yet… but here’s a hint: speed is its superpower.
