Hi Peter,

About generating a persist plane, it is technically easy to do. The problem is, if you move to another room, the lighting environment varies, and the plane may move slightly. Not sure, we will test it, and let you know the result.

christos

Since there is the option of a floor plan, would be great if measurements could be exported to any cad format. I am also interested on the option you mentioned for implementing curves.

christos Hi Christos, we will have an update later this year for export and import. CAD format is definitely a big part of it. For the curve measuring, we are working on an algorithm, still having issues about the accuracy. We will post a demo once we finish the development. Stay tuned.

yang hi, is it now possible to export the measurement as for e.g. dxf?

Luxoris

A function for the floor Plan would be great which divides the area in same length. For example I measure the floor and enter the width of my parquet and it tells and shows me how much rows I get and how I have to start. Full board or half or whatever the rest is

Luxoris Hi Luxoris, Technically it is easy to calculate. Do you know any software have this function yet? Normally how do you do it? We just need to understand the whole process to get the function right.

Are you going to publish Sdk to integrate the arrim with other apps. Especially to measures the size of trees and the girth (width) size of the bark.

akommireddi We had a video for measuring the tree. You can find it here:

Yes, we have the plan for SDK, but we need to focus on basic function release first.

I purchased one via Kickstart ER, cannot wait to receive. I have not even seen the software yet, so I don't know if this feature already exists or not, but here goes. It would be very nice if the software could easily save images along with the AR measurements for a job. This way I could keep records of measurements visually for different jobs I work.

I run a full bed cnc machine in my woodshop so I'm excited to get my hands on one of these as it should help me immensely with capturing measurements to translate on the cnc Machine.

Mercury049 Thanks for the support! Yes, it can save the image with AR measurement.

Tried to post this but something went wrong.

I’m a luthier (guitar maker) and I’m very keen to see how this can map the dimensions of a guitar. Centre line, bout and waist width, body depth, sound hold. Also, I could be used for all manner of smaller wood work tasks.

Highcountryguitarsaustralia Hi, thanks for your question! Yes, it can. We will measure a guitar and make a raw footage.

Highcountryguitarsaustralia Hi check out this video:

Hi,
I'm voting for the CAD implementation! As you can do 3D, it would be superb to have a point cloud -or even a STEP or IGES file formats. With those you could do a simple model that has all the important dimensions at single file -with that you can model the whole "thing" easily and fast in 3D software.

Miguel- Hi Miguel-, to generate a point cloud which can be transformed to 3D, the laser frequency needs get 50,000 - 100,000 / s. So the scanning process can be completed within shot time. Arrim ONE's laser is phrase-shift type, and is not able to do it.

Luxoris

yang the Bosch Laser GLM 50 C has a function to divide a length in equal lengths and shows it in the Display. Usually you measure the length of the room and divide it by the width of the Board. Then you see how much full Boards you get and the rest. This Rest shows you how you have to start. Because you want the First and the last Board to be equal sized.
For example your room ist 6,3 meters. Your Board is 192 mm
So 6300 mm divided by 192mm is 32,81
So you get 32 boards and 0,81 rest
0,81 x 192 = 155,5
That' s the last Board.
For equal size you take 155,5 + 192 = 347,5
347,5 : 2 = 173,7
That' s your first and last board equal sized

yang any ETA for the SDK. Also can we save these images with the measurements watermarked like In the video.

Great tool.

Miguel-

Hello yang, I don't mean a "full scale point cloud" but so that it records only points you've "measured". This way you could do a very simple point cloud that you can use for 3D models.. Or you could do 3D drawings with lines and circles by measuring them.

yang

akommireddi Yes you are able to save the image with all measurements. We plan to roll out SDK in the end of 2018.

Luxoris Hi Luxoris, technically, this is an easy function. We have many backers also plan to use Arrim ONE for tiling and flooring.

One question: Is it universal that people want the first and last board equal sized? For software development, we want to know if we need add this as option.

Luxoris

yang if you make the first and the last board equal, you don't get in trouble if the room has a length which gets you a very small board at the end, like 5 or 10 milimeters. You need a gap between the wall and the board of at least 8 mm for the floor to get bigger and smaller by climate changes. A small board doesn't look good and is difficult to install. And you could also see by this function if the room is parallel or the last board is at a different widths

yang

Luxoris Understood. We will keep you updated when we start to develop this function
