Overview

3D Scanners enable near-instantaneous input of spatial data into digital systems. The technology is currently undergoing a massive flourishing of innovation as the underlying hardware becomes ubiquitous. As a part of the GVCS 50, it enables a suite of powerful applications.

Applications

  • CAD
  • Rapid Prototyping
  • Workshop Control
  • Automation Programming
  • Robotic Systems
  • Training


Components

  • Laser
  • Cameras
  • Processor
  • Casing

    • Documentation
    • 1st Prototype
    • Software Documentation
    • 2nd prototype features:
      • advanced mechanics of rotating plate (i.e. gear that allows more rotation steps than just 200 => higher scan resolution)
      • new housing (either file cabinet or flight case)
      • improved software (installer, calibration functionality, improved UI)
      • SVG files containing lasercut drawings for: webcam stand, laser stand, rotating plate and calibration board
