3D Scan Forum

New scan: Excavator Tooth 😍😎 all internal and external surfaces have been scanned, and finally a Reverse Engineering CAD model was created based on the scan data. The scan was done in modified version of FlexScan3D and using my DIY Scanner . Then I redesigned this part in CATIA based on the scan dat...

for scanning such big and heavy object , there is no need to turntable , because if you use a turntable, the object must be completely fixes on the table, and fixing heavy objects on a rotary table is not practical, specially if your rotary table has more than one axis. Revopoint is not the best cho...

it depends on your scan purpose. for mechanical and industrial parts, usually accuracy is more important, and for art field , resolution and details on the scan, and also mesh surface quality is more important. a scan can be accurate but low resolution and low detailed (for example you can get perfe...

2.2 meter impeller 3D Scan + Reverse Engineering 😎. There is no limit to the dimensions and size of the object for our DIY Scanners. We scan a wide range of objects with the same setup, from 1 mm to several meters . This impeller is one of the big objects I've scanned. the diameter is 2.2 meter and...

new Macro 3D Scan, Sewing machine needle

just look at the details.
you can clearly read the test on the needle

scanned with 6.3MP Daheng cameras.
HD projector

Thanks for the reply, I will look into that. I have a camera I use for inspecting drains its a small camera on the end of a flexible cable with a light. Could something like this be modified to take the correct pictures ? No, it is not as easy as this. maybe you can use photogrammetry, but still it...

You can fill the inside of the shoe with something like clay or resin (silicone and ...), then allow it to dry and then scan the clay. I use this method for scanning industrial parts, the sections which are not accessible, like closed impeller, or multi stage centrifugal pumps. I used this method fo...

Cloning a dead impeller to a new functional one. My new Reverse Engineering case

Scanned with 6.3MP cameras and HD projector.

New scan for reverse engineering 😎 it is a small gear for a rare machine. My client asked me to make a clone of it. using 6.3MP cameras . I scanned it and after reverse engineering I must decide for the manufacturing method. I think it is made by Die-Cast, but I may change the production method to W...

New scan and Reverse Engineering: Oil cartel 😍😎 This is big 1.3 meter Aluminum item, it was corroded heavily. its surface was so dirty and greasy, and there was no time to clean it. I only applied talcum powder on it (+ small amount of ethanol). but I needed accurate position of the hole on this par...
