Once you've finished watching this video make sure to watch the updated video published in 2021: • How to Copy (almost) A...
Copying physical items is not as easy as copying a piece of paper, you can't exactly stick it into a copy machine. However, surprisingly technology for how to copy physical objects have come a long way in recent years, and have also become available for those without deep pockets. In this video we're copying a couple of different objects, using different methods, with different rates of success! Enjoy!
This video is light on workshop and hands on making, so if that's not your cup of tea, watch another video.
Do you want to win a 3D printed piece of bread? Head on over to instagram and follow the rules for the giveaway! Good luck!

Some of the models from this video are also available for download over at Sketchfab, right here: sketchfab.com/switchandlever
I will unfortunately not be making the skull ring available for download. If enough interest is shown in it (which I doubt) I may make it available for purchase through Shapeways.

Subscribed. Unbelievably well-made video. Plus the info on how to get a scan of a head with 3DF Zephyr and painting specs on the model is really helpful and really important. Now I think I could do that finally. Imagine how many hours you have saved people times the number of people trying to do this and failing many times just like you did, but never documenting it like you did. Subscribed all the way.

I formerly ran the rapid prototype lab at Sulzer Orthopedics. Now Zimmer. I used to create complex bone models from CT and MRI data that was translated to .STL. The technology used individual sheets of heat sealed and laser cut paper. LOM...Laminate Object Manufacturing. These models allowed the surgeons to plan the repair and replacement of old or traumatized joints before ever cutting the patient. It was quite an advantage to be able to see the bone before cutting was involved. That technology was primitive compared to today's 3-D modeling capability.

The production cost is hight and at the end the result is not that great. Its easy to make a body with a thin plastic, but with a thicker plastics it's not the same. I dont have enought experience right now. But its going foward even with that covid19 virus. I also dont feel confortable salling the same body as traxxas. I also want to add that I started this project last September... perfections needs time. Thank you for your comments. Stay safe👍

I have one of those that's never been used and I'd love to put it to use scanning stuff.

@SwitchAndLever 6 жыл бұрын

I currently don't own a Kinect, but I used one for scanning in the past. As it is, I don't think it's an especially useful tool for 3d scanning if you need any sort of quality, and it's only really useful for medium and large objects. It won't be able to capture anywhere near the detail in a face like photogrammetry will for instance. It is however really neat to use for visualization and generative graphics, which I've done with Processing in the past. Hence why I didn't really mention it, it exists more in the outskirts of the 3d scanning field.
