Raptorex's Setup V1
Posted: 26 Nov 2020, 14:52
Hi folks, long time viewer of the forum. This place has been a fantastic resource for me to finally setup a usable 3d scanning setup. A good 3d scanning rig has been the final missing element to my entire 3d design and prototyping workflow, especially for the automotive and automation projects i work on.
I first began a few months ago testing out 3d scanning using a Microsoft kinect and Skanect, and honestly was very surprised with the overall outcome, but it wasnt good enough for me as i needed quality detailed scan for my type of work. I would suggest though this be the first venture everyone should try before digging deep and investing in a proper 3d scanning rig.
My current v1 setup is as follows.
Camera: Point Grey -GS3-U3-50S5M-C - 5MP Monochrome ICX625 C mount 2/3 USB3.0
Lenses:
-Computar 12mm M1214-MP2 (2mp lens)
-Fujinon 16mm HF16SA-1 (5mp lens)
Projector: Epson Powerlite 810p
Software: HP 3d Scan V5.6.0
The projector i plan to upgrade soon, this was just one of the spare projectors i had laying around i was using for testing. Now that i know the camera is compatible and the software works, ill be upgrading to a 1080p projector in the near future.
I made a 22x36" calibration panel and used my plotter to print out the overlay and attach it to the board.
Im on the hunt for a 2nd camera, unfortunately i wish i could put another point grey (flir) cam on it however, i suspect i will run into the issues mentioned by others that HP/David 3D scan wont work with 2 of the Flir cams. When i first started testing out components, i had bought a Mightex MLE-C030-U" and it did not work at all with David/HP. Reason being from what i gather is there are no 64 bit drivers out for that camera, and Mightex was of no help with proving them, they just wanted to sell me a new camera.
Here was a sample scan i did with the Kinect and the front of a vehicle. Once cleaned up, it was somewhat usable in solidworks for mockup purposes. Here is the David/HP scan rig i built. Again this is just V1, but has lots of room for expansion The frame is made from 19mm carbon tubes and adjustable aluminum rail "cheese plates" And my first scan subject. I still have lots of work to tune in the software and cam setting to get high detailed scans, but i cant complain of the outcome on my first try.
Im on the hunt for a 2nd 5mp 2/3" usb3.0 c mount camera. The 16mm lens seems to be the best fit for this projector setup, but it might change if i swap in a different projector in the future. I will say, this epson being a "multimedia/office/business projector" has fantastic lumen output and i can really close the aperture on the lens and get better focal range.
Next on the to do list is make a rotary table, and pickup some cans of Magnaflux SKD-S2 for surface treatment.
