Hope this answers your question. - bq North America **Q: Does it save as an stl. File?** A: Yes it save as Stl. file **Q: Where do you get the software? Also, what type of computer do you need?** A: Horus is a general solution for 3D laser scanning. It provides graphic user interfaces for connection, configuration, control, calibration and scanning with Open Source Ciclop 3D Scanner. This is a research project to explore the 3D laser scan with free tools. Feel free to use it for experiments, modify and adapt it to new devices and contribute new features or ideas. This project has been developed in Python language and it is distributed under GPL v2 license. Horus is a multiplatform software ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars For advanced users only *by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2017* This device requires a lot of tweaking to get decent results. In the end, it was faster for me to create a model from scratch then use this scanner. You will need excellent lighting (as in photography style lighting) to get any kind of decent results. After that, you will need to do major cleanup to the point cloud. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars As Easy As Riding A Bike (at the beach) *by C***K on Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2016* I bought the kit in December and assembled it right away. The design is nice and the quality of the kit is very good. I tried out the Horus software that you'll need to download and that's when I got a bit frustrated. The output of Horus is a point cloud. The point cloud file needs to be interpreted by a program like Meshlab and then converted to an STL or OBJ file for most 3D printer software to read. The point clouds I generated were typically incomplete for various scanning reasons. One recommendation is to move the part around on the platform and generate and align multiple point clouds. Tedium ad nauseam. Needless to say I haven't produced a part that I have been happy with and the scanner has sit on my desk for the past 3 months. I haven't given up but the learning curve on this is pretty intense. This is not a point and click device by any means. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars In development, and not quite "there" yet *by D***. on Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2015* The texture scan needs a lot of work. Certain colors and materials don't scan, and the calibration/scan is very finicky about light sources and intensities.I have a photog friend I'll tap into soon to design the perfect diffused light box; until then this machine is a novelty that needs a lot of time/effort to perfect. Think of yourself as an early adopter helping to move the technology along vice buying a working machine here.Also: if you have a 3D printer, make your own parts. Search "Ciclop" on thingiverse and bq has made the .stl files available. From there, run down the BOM they provide and build it cheap. If you completely DIY (including sourcing the parts) you can beat this price. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/17708208-bq-ciclop-3d-scanner-kit-advanced-laser-scanner](https://www.desertcart.be/products/17708208-bq-ciclop-3d-scanner-kit-advanced-laser-scanner) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
