  • @fishordie92

    Still quicker than manually modelling :)

  • lol, I love how none of the 3d scanning companies show how long and time consuming 3d scanning actually is.

  • @nathanwalker06 What was the company that did this in a much larger scale?

  • fail

  • Thumbs up if you want to see what happened next!

  • @pokpokpok eh, it makes for good tv.

  • @FlareNeos6 i think they scaled down the thrust accordingly. or just shoved some estes rockets in it because it makes for good tv.

  • @nathanwalker06 was it by any chance z-corp?

  • and with some handy aligning in a 3d modeling software(solidworks, rapidform, artcam) the scanner used could do the work. I worked for a company that did this exact thing except on a much much larger scale and with much better equipment. Its really amazing

  • Ok so, as everyone can notice, the foam being milled is smaller than the finished part. That is because it is only a 3-axis milling head and cannot cut the sides of the of the car properly. to fix that issue the computer guy had to split the 3d model into mutiple parts and align the so he could cut from multiple angles. i estamted he cut 5 deferent sections and glued them together, sanded a little and had a finished part.
