Uriah Liggett is an experienced software developer and inventor who was motivated to create a 3D scanner out of his own frustration and disappointment with the products on the market currently. While planning to use his 3D printer to start producing his own household items, he found that it was impossible to find a good 3D scanner that was affordable. Using the Raspberry Pi to run his new invention, the ATLAS 3D, he developed the software and tools to put together kits for those who own Raspberry Pis or are interested in getting one. He does also provide a complete kit that includes the Raspberry Pi B+. Otherwise, each kit comes with electrical components and variations on supplies. The users are expected to 3D print their own parts for the 3D scanner. The ATLAS 3D has already exceeded its Kickstarter goal by more than $20,000.
