I can scan any object to scan in 3d, then use my 3 axis CNC machine I design and built and make replicas...it didn't cost me a thing using only spare parts. You probably can't comprehend any of this, huh? Let's see what stuff you can make!
Ya, I'm using DAVID software. I made this motorized scanner so I can capture scans more smoothly than by hand. It works fine, can use tweaking of course but haven't really had issues with the software neither. I'll eventually make a better version out of better materials anyways.
One other question, I would have expected that a translation movement up and down would be better than a rotational movement because a beam coming from a single point would be less likely to reach into overhangs and undercuts than one that swept along a line. Is this not so?
What scanner is it for? I got here by searching for "David 3d scanner" Do you use this? Does it seem to work much better if you sweep the laser line at a constant rate? What are you trying to achieve with this?
The best possible use I would expect could be made of automated motor controls for a scanning system like this, would be in rotating a turntable. Combine that with a device like you have here for sweeping the laser and you may have fully automated home scanning.
Hi Nicanor76,
Can you discuss a little bit about how your get your laser data into G-Code?
I'm on the verge of purchasing a 4 axis router. One of the things I want to do is peoples faces.
Has anybody come out with opaque contact lenses so faces can be scanned with eyes opened?

the only issues that I see w/ it is that it's noisy & looks flimsy, I might be wrong on both accounts, but other then that it's great.

worm gear? Very clever.
