Virtual Happy Hour Workshop

Reverse Engineering From 3D Scanner Data to CAD
(Scan to CAD)

* This is a previously recorded session.

Welcome to our Happy Hour Workshop! In this one-hour session, we centered our discussion around a project we’ve recently been working on. One of the mounts that sits on a boat diesel generator needed to be replaced due to corrosion. This one-hour workshop shows you the step-by-step process of reverse engineering this mount without even moving a big heavy generator!

The other mount is in good condition so we’ve used a 3D scanner to scan the mount and use reverse engineering software to create a CAD file, which can be used to manufacture the mount. We’ll show you the step-by-step process of how to reverse engineer this mount and reveal the final results in the workshop. Complicated measurement challenges can often be simplified with the help of 3D scanning technologies.

Who Is This Session For?

This session is ideal for anyone:

• who wants to learn more about the scan to CAD process
• who already has a 3D scanner and want to find other uses

How To Combine Data from Different 3D Scanners To Improve Scanning Results

Did you know you can easily add more detail and accuracy to your 3D models by combining scan data from multiple scanners?

You can use two or more Artec 3D scanners (i.e.: Leo/Eva with Space Spider, or Ray with Leo) and merge the results to get the best of each system.

In this webinar, we go deeper into the benefits including:

• The advantages of having a larger scanning volume of one scanner and the high resolution and accuracy of another
• Scanning deeper into small cavities of large objects
• Increasing the resolution of your scans where it matters
• Making it easier to scan challenging objects

We’ll spend most of the webinar demonstrating how to process and combine scan data from all five Artec 3D scanners: Ray, Leo, Eva, Space Spider, and Micro.

This webinar is ideal for anyone:

• Who has an Artec 3D scanner and is looking to get the benefits of another system by combining 3D scanning results.
• Who is looking to buy a 3D scanning solution that can benefit from the strengths of different 3D scanners.

3D Scanning Small Objects with Amazing Results

3D scanning small objects (such as small machine parts, artifacts, fossils, dental castings, gears, jewelry, etc.) is one of the more challenging projects to tackle. It’s not easy to capture all the fine details while getting an accurate 3D model that truly represents the physical object in all its glory. In this webinar, we’ll dive into common questions about 3D scanning small objects, as well as cover what types of issues you would likely encounter and how to solve them.

We’ll cover:

• Object Size: How small of an object can you really scan with a 3D scanner?
• Stationary vs. Handheld 3D Scanners: Which one should you use for the object you want to scan?
• Accuracy vs. Resolution: What are the best practices for scanning small objects for high accuracy (metrology/inspection) or high resolution (3D modeling/visualization)?
• Tips and Tricks: What’s the best approach when it comes to scanning small parts?
• Q&A to answer questions

This webinar is ideal for anyone:

• Looking to get better results and speed up their 3D scanning process
• Who is looking to buy a 3D scanner for scanning small objects and want to know which 3D scanner is best for their application

Tips and Tricks on How To Speed Up Your 3D Scanning Workflow

Learning how to use a 3D scanner in the most efficient way takes a lot of practice and experience. Getting bogged down by long 3D scanning sessions impact productivity, and can be a pain to process on the computer. In this live webinar, our experts will give you the inside scoop on how to optimize your 3D scanning workflow. Learn the tricks of the trade in an hour and come out of this session set up for success. We’ll also cover best practices for 3D scanning large objects.

We’ll cover:

• Understanding What Your 3D Scanner Sees: Learn how to best position your 3D scanner in relation to the object to capture the best scans.
• Planning + Preparation: Things you can plan ahead of time to make it much easier to scan and process the data later on, including the use of scanning aids.
• Reduce 3D Scanning Hiccups: How do you avoid losing tracking when 3D scanning?
• 3D Scanning Software: What tools are readily available and how to use them to their full potential?
• Computer and Processing: How do you have the right computer set up for faster processing?
• Q&A to answer questions

This webinar is ideal for anyone:

• Users who don’t want to be slowed down by long 3D scanning sessions anymore
• Anyone looking to buy a 3D scanner and wants to implement best practices when getting started on 3D scanning
• Users who are having difficulties 3D scanning large objects

Tips and Tricks on Overcoming 3D Scanning Challenges

There are nuances to the 3D scanning process that can make a big difference between getting good enough 3D scan data quality or achieving exceptional results. Our experts will discuss best practices and ways to tackle common 3D scanning problems. Come out of this session knowing how to make your work a lot easier, faster, and get better results.

We’ll cover:

• What’s the best approach to scanning featureless objects (ie. cylinders/symmetrical parts)?
• How can I scan many objects within a short time frame?
• How can I get great scan results when 3D scanning dark, shiny, or clear surfaces?
• How do I scan objects with holes/cavities?

This webinar is ideal for anyone:

• looking to purchase a 3D scanner for scanning challenging objects
• who has a 3D scanner and is looking to improve the 3D scanning processes
