David 3D Laserscanner - Fully automatic 360 degree scan rig.

This Setup was inspired by the "aufbau" video from http://youtube.com/user/sehertest , We made some adjustments so that it can run in a lighted room.

The whole thing is possible because the David Laserscanner software has support for COM port commands/messages.

The Hardware is based on a PIC24 µC,
an FTDI chip serial for communication with PC,
an RC servo for turning the laser,
a step motor for turning the scanned object using an A3967 step motor controller.

The whole rig is powered by a standard PC PSU,

It took about 8 weeks to complete.

(we aren't using a webcam because we didn't have proper x64 drivers for it :)

Comments and questions are welcomed!

any need for the shit song??????

[aazd]

@mich27g None at all :)

I still have no regrets regarding the music! .. I spent hours watching boring germans talk about their slow moving scanners, and it was excruciating, so i wanted to make something different.. by the way, there's a bit more info on the david-laserscanner forums. i can't post links in comments, but search for aazd (my username)

And then you could print it on open source 3d pinter!

[aazd]

@sturb4n indeed, that is the plan. I'm currently involved in the first steps of a large scale OS-3D printing project hosted at Open Space Aarhus in Denmark..

What's the music band name?

[aazd]

Great vid, but I fell bad for you for the catastrophic failure in your audio.

[VincentVBoold]

music is annoying !! by the way nice video xD

[mich27g]

@aazd - would have been a better video if u were talking people through what you were doing!

[koncertLive]

these people are idiots, ive yet to see a video of someone describing technical specs like the laser, camera, ets.....

Not even a report of things they would upgrade to or steps to watch out for..

These idiots make me want to go to the zoo and pound on my chest to upset the gorilla's... :)

[kgeorgejunior]

can you use this object in a CAD program?

[tw34uk43]

trully cool and congratulations on the build and tech and the results trully awe inspiring we r just about to commence on a multi build project workshop full working router meter plus 3d printer 30x20 lazer printer and this would be just a bonus wow so cool dudy....i take my hat off to u bud nice job...my mate is the tech boff and im the loony who makes sure we get things done.......ive pasted this link to him.....he will be on a mission...thks be in touch...lol

[matehim]

@aazd looks nice, but the final result doesnt fit with the original. specially if you count the nares. °|^

I like the music, but not the fucking vocalist, man.

I hate when that shit happens, when the music itself is pretty good but the singing ruins it.
