3D Scanning & Reverse Engineering with Artec 3D Scanners
When you have an Artec 3D scanner, SOLIDWORKS CAD software and a Stratasys 3D printer added to your operation, it opens up new possibilities. Let’s look a reverse engineering workflow to make perfect-fitting 3D-printed fixtures. In this post learn how we fixed a squeaky ceiling fan with 3D scanning, 3D CAD and 3D printing. First, 3D scan…
Want to learn how to use a professional 3D scanner? The ZEISS T-SCAN hawk is a remarkable new 3D scanning solution that offers best in class accuracy, versatility, and portability. Watch our demo video to learn how to use it. Featured in this 3D scanning demo TriMech Product Sales Specialist – 3D Scanners, Brian Metzger,…
In this tutorial, I am going to walk through how to do some design work from a 3D scan file of a pipe cluster that I imported into Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS. Let’s take a look. The first step is to reorient the mesh so that the mesh is centered on the front, top, and right…
In this video, I’m going to show you how to construct scanned geometry in Artec Studio so you can easily reverse engineer mechanical parts. For this example, I’m using a cast rotor baseplate. Let’s look at how it is done. Starting from Sharp Fusion, navigate to the Construct tab. The first thing I’m going to…
A question that comes up a lot is what is the difference between the Artec Eva 3D Scanner compared to the Artec Eva Lite. Watch the vide below as TriMech 3D Scanner Product Sales Specialist, Brian Metzger, explains the differences between the two 3D Scanners: What is the Artec Eva? Artec Eva High Definition handheld…
3D scanning is one of the most efficient and easiest ways to capture 3D data. 3D scanners offer accurate data and high-resolution results. In some cases, you may need to use multiple scanners to capture large areas and fine detail. Watch the video below to see how we used both the Artec Ray and the…
In this video we are going to be scanning a McDonald’s egg McMuffin from start to finish using the Artec Space Spider and Artec Studio software. The Space Spider is a high-resolution 3D scanner based on blue light technology. It is perfect for this application because we want to capture the McMuffin in full detail. For…
Hole-filling is good practice when creating a good-looking mesh. It’s essential for 3D printing because, without a “watertight” mesh, the printing software won’t know what to print. For reverse engineering, some holes are ok if you have sufficient data to extract the geometry you need. For quality control or inspection scanning, hole filling is usually…
3D scanning is commonly used for quality assurance and inspection. Artec 3D Scanners provide extremely high-precision scans and provide 3D measurements that are among the best in today’s technology offerings. 3D scanners are extremely valuable tools that offer time and money saving benefits, but sometimes the object being scanned can provide some challenges. In this video, we…
