3D scanner
Hi all,
I have a very simple part, basically encompassing 2 different thickness and a slightly complex outer perimeter shape that I would like to get a 3D scan of. This would be sent in to Shapeways to have a copy made. With the vast diversity of machine shop and technological expertise available on PL, I figured that I would start here to see if there might be any leads available on where I should start with looking to get this part 3D scanned. Thanks in advance- Jonathan Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

if it's fairly simple, there are programs that will provide a model from images.
If it's super simple, I take a picture and copy using a 3d cad program. Unfortunately, their auto trace doesn't work all that well, but it's not difficult to do by hand on something that's not complex |

I have made scans and tracing of each of the two outer contours, but alas my CAD skills are nonexistent. I am trying to use solidworks, but the learning curve is steep. Is this something that you would consider doing for a fee? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I've been eyeballing buying one of those XYZ printers for quite some time because they also include 3D scanning capabilities (and a laser engraver add-on too). Plus they also now have models that allow 3rd party filament.
https://www.amazon.com/Filament-Wire...E0A74YK8PZYXEM I've held off on buying one because of several major home expenses this past year though. Maybe I can get one next year but we'll see...there's always something that needs to be replaced around the home it seems. But maybe that's more than you want to spend. |
