3D Printing & Scanning feat. HP Sprout at Intel Booth - CES 2015

Linus Tech Tips opens the CES 2015 Intel Booth with a showcase of HP Sprout, a hybrid 3‑D printer and scanner that can print a hand and then scan it back onto a real arm. The first half of the video covers the hardware specs of the Sprout, the 20‑point multi‑touch surface, and the initial 3‑D capture of a hand prototype. In the second half Linus demonstrates the scanning workflow, the creation of a 3‑D model, and the use of the device as a secondary workspace or a creative canvas. The video ends with a shout‑out to Phantom Glass and HyperX, and a call to action for viewers to subscribe for more CES content. The video is a concise, engaging review that blends hardware description with live demo footage. Linus explains the “blended reality” concept, showing how digital objects can be turned into real objects via 3‑D printing and vice versa. He highlights the speed of the printing process (3‑4 days per hand) and the quality of the printed hand, noting that the hand can be used by someone who was born with one hand. The demo includes a live scan of a hand, a quick 3‑D model export, and a test of the interactive surface as a secondary screen. The final segment wraps up with a shout‑out to the sponsors and a reminder to subscribe for more CES coverage.

Viewers praise the video for its clear explanation of the HP Sprout workflow and the impressive 3‑D hand prototype. Comments highlight the enthusiasm for the 3‑D printing process and the usefulness of the multi‑touch surface. Many viewers note the strong marketing shout‑outs to Phantom Glass and HyperX, and appreciate the call to action for subscribing. Overall sentiment is positive, with a few humorous remarks about the future of 3‑D printed hands.
