well you can't cut a surface or solid with a mesh body to the best of my knowledge. And after you add additional lines/edges to the form, when you pull down just the outside edges it will deform the shape. If you are 3d printing the fender you can convert it to a mesh and then use the mesh combine tool to remove the original that way.

So at thw beginning of the video you mention that Professional scanners use $1000 to $10000 software to work with the data before you bring it into CAD. Can you use the hobby scanner data in that $1000 software and what kind of results would you get? Asking for those of us who would be willing to fund a $500 scanner and $1000-$1500 worth of software to have a "prosumer" solution but who can't afford the $10k+ for a full F1 laser scanner.

I might be reviewing the other end of the spectrum soon with this www.creality.com/products/cr-scan-ferret-3d-scanner So in a case like this fender where we are using the mesh as a guide yes. It always comes back to how you are going to make the part. If you use a high end scanner and get +- .04mm accuracy, does it matter if you 3d print your parts? The widebody series I did(which i haven't finished the real part yet) i used an Einscan ProHD and didn't use any intermediate mesh software, just what comes with the scanner. The Einstar they have is around the $1000 mark at looks pretty good for the price. Hopefully i can test some lower end units on the same part and give you a real world comparison. working on getting a scanner for that now.

Hi Matt. You say in this video, as it’s for a race car total accuracy isn’t such a big deal. To get the most accuracy, what techniques, tools, etc would you use? Thanks!
@LearnEverythingAboutDesign9 ай бұрын
Well the start would be the highest accuracy scan. Pro scanners would scan the fender with .02mm accuracy while most hobby scanners are in the .2mm accuracy. The second thing is that I knew from the user that asked the question that this was going to be a single 3d print on a large home built machine. So a highly detailed CAD model wouldn't have added much to the process:) IF the design was going to be CNC machined for example then you would take more time ensuring the scan was high resolution and that the part fit that high res scan. Really not a whole lot different to the process, but just working with higher density mesh and spending more time on how the parts fit together.

Beginner here. Just did my first scan of a fiberglass chair I laid up myself. When importing scan data do you want to import the finished mesh design or would it be better to import at a fused cloud level ? Thanks much for your shares.
@LearnEverythingAboutDesign10 ай бұрын
Part of it depends on the quality of the mesh and where it came from. When pulling a freeform body down to a bumpy mesh you will get bad results. But if you have a really dense smooth mesh it is a great option. So if your mesh/scan software lets you do a nice clean processed mesh with all the detail you need, bring that. If you start to smooth and refine the mesh and notice a lot of your detail going away, bring in a more raw version.

Generally the scale of the mesh would be handled in whatever software you use to read in the scan data. If you have to scale it in Fusion it would be a bit rough honestly. There isn't a true scale other than measuring between points(in direct mesh edit mode) and scaling the entire thing.

What's the best and least expensive scanner?
@LearnEverythingAboutDesign Жыл бұрын
That is a tough question. The resolution listed on most of the hobby scanners from places like Revo or Creality seem to be descent. Where you start to run into issues is the distance from the part and compounding accuracy errors when you have to capture multiple positions. The Revopoint Mini is supposed to be the best bridge between pro and hobby, but I think it is still at the kickstarter stage. My suggestion is to look at a few aspects of this. What do you want to scan/do with the data and what is your budget. If you look at HandyScans, you are in the $20k+ market, but an Einscan is around $5000. If you want to spend under $1000 I would check out videos on the Revopoint Mini and the Creality CR-Scan 01. See what people are saying about those. If you want to spend a bit more I would look at EinScan. Last bit to keep in mind, the scan data needs to be processed before it goes into CAD. Think about that as it could be a considerable cost if you are looking at this from a professional perspective. If you are trying to do it all hobby/open source MeshLab is free and powerful but not very user friendly.

Gotcha, something you need to think about is how you are making the parts as well. For example if you have a really high quality scanner and software but are using a low res 3d printer to build molds then it is likely not worth the money. I think something like an Einscan will be a good investment, but maybe to get started the revopoint mini might be a good entry. I have seen some descent scans come out of them.

@@LearnEverythingAboutDesignJust thought i'd jump in as a guy who regularly uses 3D scanners for designing motorcycle parts. I'd recommend an Einstar 3d scanner, they're worlds above the likes of the Revopoint Pop 2, and much closer to professional level scanners like the Creality Handyscan 3d black or Einscan HX. That being said for small parts I often design parts around Iphone scans, using the face ID scanner for detailed small parts and the lidar scanner for larger parts like fairings etc where the detail isn't as important. All really comes down to what you need from the scan and how challenging the object is. Don't forget also that scanning spray makes a massive difference.

If someone rolled in with a new bike to scan, you better believe I would use the scan spray that has no cleanup but a short window to scan. For my own stuff I generally beat sheet metal forms, primer would be fine and then design.

That was the slowest, most non exact way to approximate the surface. In no way were vertices of the actual scan used. There are surfacing tools out there that create surfaces using the scam data far easier. Look at my own vx elements class A Surfacing example.
@LearnEverythingAboutDesign Жыл бұрын
Thank you for your comment. This video is how to model the fender for a racecar off scan data in Fusion 360. Fusion is not a Class A program nor a mesh/scanning program. Fusion doesn't have the ability to wrap a mesh nicely. Any noise in the mesh creates ripples in the surface. Fusion can snap to the mesh and pull the vertices down to the mesh but that is generally reserved for a very dense high quality mesh or else the results are not great. A Class A or mesh program that is specifically design to wrap a mesh with a nurbs surface is a different approach. At no point do I say Fusion is the best or only way to do this, but I am showing how to get the best quality result when using Fusion. Fusion is free for Hobby users, VX Elements is not(to the best of my knowledge). Not to mention the user in this case is 3d printing this fender. So using free software and consumer scanners vs Creaform and VX elements or vx model. In these videos users send me models they are struggling with and I try to walk them through at a slow pace how to approach the model.

with all this technology and scanners becoming more affordable it boggles me how we have the most rediculous miriad of features but not one program that takes the scanned obj,ply or stl for direct cad,why on earth waste time creating all these redundant tools to essentialy do what the program is supposed to do
@LearnEverythingAboutDesign28 күн бұрын
There are programs that will "auto surface" scan/mesh data. Solidworks tries. Fusion "can" do this if you have the product design extension (not avail for hobby users). But basically it needs to convert the tri mesh to a quad mesh. If you have a quad mesh you can attempt to directly convert that to a form. What you find is that these types of conversions never offer up ideal geometry. The Autosurface tools in programs like Geomagic and QuickSurface could get you a surface model, but again you wouldn't have any sort of control/input on the shape. In a case like this I knew the user wanted to make a variation of the fender for their race car and the final was to be 3d printed.
