So basicly (1:38) i can do that in zbrush ? Don't understand why such pure scan can't be used for printing (because that what is purpose right ?) - it have less than 5k tris anyway so its like nothing. Basically my question is - why not use zbrush to create 2mln poly and print from it? Or its still not enough smooth surface and those "3d vectors" (cad modeling if i understand ) is needed here.
Hi, when you want the model for 3d printing, you could directly use the 3d scan (and maybe do a little cleanup in Zbrush).Reverse engineering is needed if you need a CAD file to make the part on a CNC mill for example. Or if you want super clean topology. 3D Scans are always a tiny little bit dented. With reverse engineering we can create a super clean pristine part.
CAD programs only deal in splines models. They can't handle hundreds of thousands of polygons, let alone millions like how Zbrush can handle. The purpose of converting such a part to CAD isn't just for 3D printing but to add to your mechanical assemblies. Models like this within a CAD program can also hold information that Zbrush, Maya, Blender, or any other poly modelling packages can't... such as material data (steel, aluminum, polycarbonate, etc) and mass among other things. They can also be placed in simulations where you can evaluate stresses on the part when in use. It's just a different application, particularly for mechanical design and engineering.
Ahh ok then. I was confused because I saw many times model from Zbrush or Scan and people who stick "reverse engineering" Thanks for reply with details
so let's say I want to make a 3d scan of an engine head where I really need very precise scanning to make a cad model out of it and then put it on a cnc mill to actually produce the part, then what scanner and programs should i use to convert the scan to cad?
If you want to use free Software, you could use FreeCAD. Other software would cost money. Structured light 3D Scanning with a Zeiss Scanner Atos will yield highly accurate scans.
@@Holocreators really appreciate it brother, I will absolutely consider your recommendations. But do you advise me to design a custom engine instead of just scan it and risk the quality?
I don't know if you are on lockdown in your nation, but I wonder if now may be a good time for you to film some more of your hologram studies, or hobby.
Hi Rob, this channel has become more about 3d scanning and reverse engineering. I will probably move the holography stuff somewhere else. I have some more holo videos on my youtube channel swann rack
