## What is FabScan PI
The FabScan project started in 2010 at [Germany's first FabLab in Aachen](http://hci.rwth-aachen.de/fablab). In 2014, development was taken over by Mario Lukas and the FabScanPi project was created. The
FabScan PI is the next iteration of the [FabScan 3D laser scanner](http://hci.rwth-aachen.de/fabscan). It uses a Raspberry PI and the Raspberry PI
camera module. The idea behind using a Raspberry Pi is to provide the same hardware setup for all FabScans.
Another benefit is that the FabScan gets a Stand-Alone, Web-Enabled 3D laser scanner.
The FabScan PI Server is written in Python. The Web-Enabled user inferface is written in JavaScript and HTML5 using WebGL. The code for
the interface can be found at: http://github.com/mariolukas/FabScanPi-Frontend
That enables people with different programming skills to [contribute to this project](http://mariolukas.github.io/FabScanPi-Server/contributing/).
