Join Rob as he takes you through the intricacies of scanning an aluminum injection mold for the bottom of a work boot, using the Shining3D Einscan HX, a blue laser and hybrid light 3D scanner. Discover how to optimize your point clouds, remove excess data, generate the POI cloud, and ultimately, convert the point cloud into a mesh model.
In this video, Rob offers practical tips and advice on how to manage data from your 3D scanner and import it into a CAD program. Whether you're using competitor brands like Artec, Scantec, Creaform, Peel3D, Faro, Hexagon, or others, these pointers will help streamline your 3D scanning process.
Find out how to efficiently select and delete unnecessary data, invert selections, and utilize the polygonal lasso tool. Understand why injection molds are integral to manufacturing support and how 3D printing complements the process. Rob will also discuss the system requirements needed for efficient 3D scanning, including his use of an i7 9700 3.6 gigahertz with 64 gigs of RAM and an RTX 2070 from Nvidia.
Stay tuned as Rob takes you through the meshing process, elaborating on the difference between water-tight and unwater-tight meshes. Learn how to filter and smooth out artifacts, fill small holes, remove spikes, and manage the maximum triangles in your 3D model.
Moreover, Rob will show you how to save your work in various formats such as ASC, STL, OBJ, PLY, and 3MF. He'll explore the various tools of a 3D scanning software, like simplification, mesh optimization, auto hole filling, manual hole filling, normal flipping, cutting plane addition, and mirroring.
Lastly, this video covers the often overlooked measurement tools within the scanning software, allowing you to measure surface areas and volumes, and get quick conversions of your readings.
3D scanning has numerous applications beyond the use case highlighted in this video. It is incredibly valuable in industries like archaeology and paleontology for artifact and fossil replication. In medicine, it can be used to create precise 3D models of body parts for surgical planning or prosthetics. In the manufacturing sector, 3D scanning facilitates quality control, product development, and reverse engineering of components. Moreover, it is becoming increasingly popular in the entertainment industry for creating CGI and VR characters and environments.
