Very Impressive project! However unless your aircraft is experimental category, could you explain the process to have a 3d printed part replace a type certified component?
@@ryanbellyt thanks! Good question. This isn’t my plane so that’s not really my domain, but I believe you’re right about all aircraft components needing to be certified. The owner of this plane is using this custom part at their own discretion. I’m not sure what would be required to get it certified for more widespread use.
Cool tutorial (the part about turning a mess into a usable mesh) , but not the best example. If this was a curved interior panel that had to match other curves, this would be a huge time saver. But this armrest can be recreated with calipers and CAD, and probably faster.
You just convinced me again that 3d scanning is not read ready for me. Only in case of very organic models 3d scanning might make sense, this one would be wat easier to just measure and model up.
Great job, I was wondering what your laptop specs are? I've heard some conflicting info about the amount of ram required and processor speed it takes to get 30+ fps.
@@MatttAt thanks! I use an Alienware M15 with 32GB of RAM, Intel i7-9750H processor, and Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 GPU. The scanning is fluid with this setup but some of the post-processing is laggy.
@@ygk3d It might be overkill, but I just bought 64GB of Kingston DDR5 to pair with the Intel 12700H in my Lenovo laptop. Thanks a lot, can't wait to get started!
I tried scanning spray, but it is expensive and you will end up breathing all of the stuff that you spray on the object being scanned as it sublimes over many hours. Rather, buy some spray-on foot powder. Inexpensive, effective, and easy to wash off. Also, with the Revopoint Miraco, no dots are required. Seriously. I stopped using those dots a while ago. Unnecessary with the right scanner
This laser scanner cost 1500€ the next I know is the Einscan HX for around 10k and even this scanner needs markers in laser mode. You can print parts and apply the markers on them. You rarely need to apply markers on the part this way. And you can’t use foot spray on everything. I will for sure not spray it on a iPhone or other expensive electronic device or for example in a cockpit or inside a car.
It depends on the technology you use. Infrared don't need reflective dots, but it struggles with black and reflective surfaces. Laser is perfect for these surfaces and you don't need a spray. But the laser needs reflective dots for tracking. The Creality Scan Raptor has both technologies integrated, so you can choose which one you wanna use. This guy is using the laser mode and also uses scanner spray which isn't needed. He definitely has no idea, what he's doing. I have this scanner at home, I know what I'm talking about.
