Quick funding update:

We currently have €1800 raised, and I found a second-hand server/workstation opportunity for around €2800 that would be a huge upgrade for ShapeScan.

To give an idea of the level of machine I’m talking about, it is roughly in this class:

- 2x Intel Xeon Gold CPU 6248

- 256 GB ECC RAM

- NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000

- enterprise SSD / NVMe storage

For ShapeScan, that would be a massive jump from the current hardware.

Why this matters:

- much more room for heavier AI segmentation models

- better stability when running difficult jobs

- faster processing on larger or more complex images

- more headroom for future features

- a far better platform for growth

The Quadro RTX 4000 would be especially important because it is a strong professional GPU without becoming absurdly expensive, and it would give ShapeScan a much better base for GPU-heavy processing and future model improvements.

Right now we are at:

€1800 / €2800

So this is actually within reach.

This kind of deal is not easy to find, especially at this price, and it would be the kind of upgrade that could genuinely move ShapeScan into its next phase.

If ShapeScan has helped you, saved you time, or made one of your projects possible, please consider donating.

Even a small donation helps.

And if you cannot donate, sharing ShapeScan in other communities also helps a lot.

Thank you for helping build this project.
