Ben NanoNote Case Scans

There are the following categories of scans: Scans are stored in the following file formats: PIJ, the binary and proprietary format of Dr.PICZA3 project files, AutoCAD DXF, STL, and the point cloud with comma-separated values.

PIJ is the native format of the software used to make the scans. STL can be read by many programs, including HeeksCAD and MeshLab.

High resolution scans can produce a large amount of data. If a file is 1 MB or bigger, its size is indicated.

Keyboard. From the bottom. L-to-A scan.
Note: the scanner gets trapped when trying to scan the rubber surrounding the power button. The higher resolution scans therefore stop before this point.
The scans are also very noisy, probably because the fixture was not rigid enough.
