The new 3D Scan app allows you to scan an object while holding Kinect in your hands. For best results, either rotate around the object you are scanning and turn the handheld mode on, or use a turntable. If you use a turntable, put Kinect on a tripod and turn the handheld mode off.
@cheekid: An object cannot yet be mirrored easily in 3D Builder. We are investigating how to improve the experience of the app and we value your feedback. Stay tuned for future updates of 3D Builder!
For Windows 10, we are happy to announce that we are upgrading the 3D scanning experience from a simple functionality in 3D Builder to a brand new dedicated 3D scanning app! We are working really hard to accelerate the migration of 3D scanning to its independent app that it truly deserves and we are very excited to say that you will be able to download it for free directly from our Windows Store very soon.
We know how eager you are to start 3D scanning with Windows 10 and we apologize for this short waiting period while we make sure every Windows 10 user continues to get access to all the other awesome features of 3D Builder. Stay tuned for more 3D scanning updates on Channel 9!

@cerwin77: XYZ recently made an update to the firmware of your printer. Very soon you will have a new driver update automatically installed that should fix your problem.
Hi, the 3D scanning functionality of 3D Builder is using Kinect Fusion which does more processing and that can lead to a reduced FPS.
Additionally, can you please check that you have the latest driver of your graphic cards? And if you have a gaming laptop that has 2 GPU, make sure that the app is using the powerful GPU and not the integrated one.
Regarding the "moving too fast" error. This happened to be me when I was using a desk chair for turning the person I was scanning, usually it was because my foot that was rotating the chair got captured by the sensor and was moving too fast for the tracker. Please ensure that you don't have any fast moving part that are detected by the sensor. Also, when the sensor looses track that way, what you can do is stop your motion and come back to where it lost track and the scan should be able to resume from there. For a 360 degrees scans it sometime happened that the tracking was being lost around the shoulder area, what I would do in that case is turn backward slowly until the sensor is able to find the tracking again. Adjusting the size and the distance between the sensor and the object can also help fixing these issues (from experience the ideal distance with the preset size is one arm from the sensor, like we did in the video).
La video YouTube que vous avez partage a été faite avec un senseur Kinect v1 et un logiciel qui n'est pas le notre.
La configuration de votre PC semble être suffisante pour atteindre un bon taux de rafraichissement, en revanche assurez vous d'avoir des ports USB 3.0 de la marque Renesas ou Intel, sinon la Kinect v2 ne marchera pas.
Les scans effectués avec 3D Builder peuvent etre exporté en 3MF, PLY et STL. Il me semble que PLY et STL peuvent être importé avec 3D max, mais cela necessite un plugin.

Hi Sam, I think you may want to take a look at this video which is about 3D scanning: 3D-Builder-Tutorial-Part-5-3D-Scanning-with-Kinect-V2
The YouTube video that you shared is indeed done using a Kinect v1 but not using our software. Your PC configuration should provide good frame rate but make sure that you have an Intel or Renesas USB 3.0 port, otherwise the Kinect v2 will not work.
You can export your scan in 3MF, PLY and STL. I believe that you can open both PLY and STL with 3D max, but it may require a plugin.

3D Builder Tutorial Part 5: 3D Scanning with Kinect V2
Scan objects with Kinect
The new 3D Scan app allows you to scan an object while holding Kinect in your hands. For best results, either rotate around the object you are scanning and turn the handheld mode on, or use a turntable. If you use a turntable, put Kinect on a tripod and turn the handheld mode off.
Download it for free in the Windows Store.
We look forward to seeing what you can do with these awesome new tools. Send us an email and share your projects with us at ask3dprint@microsoft.com.

@kumar: here are the plans to build your own : https://github.com/MGX3D/Turntable
Otherwise you can try using a desk chair!
