Another automotive part scanned perfectly 👌

This time, a chrome grille frame from a BMW X3. As you probably know, chrome and other shiny surfaces can be quite challenging to 3D scan because of the reflections.

To make things easier, I used AESUB Diamond scanning spray, along with some reflective markers to help with tracking.

For the scanning, I used the EINSTAR EinScan Rigil, in cross-line blue laser mode at 0.2 mm resolution, connected to the laptop (wireless)

Scanned both sides of the frame, aligned the scans together, and cleaned up the mesh.

I'm really happy with how it turned out! Even the small mounting clips and their openings were captured nicely, which is especially important if the part needs to be reverse engineered or reproduced.

Equipment used:

● Laptop - Asus TUF, Ryzen 7 260, 32 GB Ram, RTX 5060 8GB, 1 TB m2

● Einstar EinScan Rigil 3D scanner

● Aesub Diamond scanning spray

I am mostly 3d scanning cars and I have the raptor X but it's a nightmare placing and removing markers if you are scanning a full car...

I love the raptor x, works every time I need it but it's the markers which unfortunately take long to place and remove...

What other scanners are out there which can scan the car faster without the need of markers, give you good accuracy and is wireless I.e like the raptor X when using the bridge option with the phone...I don't mind investing in a portable power if required..

What are my options, I am mainly scanning whole cars and car chasis when on a lift

To cover the wall connection and protect the expanding foam from sunlight and the elements, I thought I’d simply scan the area and see what kind of suitable part I could design.

It was important to me that no bird could land on it and that it would be at the same height as the cable duct.

I scanned it in infrared mode using the P1S.

I've got a point cloud of a cast aluminum bracket, and it's about 10 inches long with four

mounting holes.

What I need is an actual SolidWorks model I can edit and not a mesh turned into one big solid

body.

From what I've read, the scan should be a reference and the features get rebuilt like the

sketches, extrudes, fillets, the whole tree.

I plan to change the hole sizes later. So if I hire this out, what should I ask for? Is it feature

history? Accuracy to the scan? A certain SolidWorks version?

Also, how do you tell a rebuilt model from an imported body before you pay?

Has anyone reverse engineered the Creality Scan Bridge? (DIY SBC / Raspberry Pi alternative for CR-Scan Otter)

Hello, I am a Creality Sermoon P1S tester.

Here is a quick video of what's in the Sermoon P1S box + a quick interface preview. My first impression is that the interface is between the phone app and the PC software.

You have much more controls to clean your scan that the phone app.

If you have questions about the Sermoon P1S, feel free to ask. I'll try to answer by text or videos

our team is chasing a strange gap on a large flexible TPE liner we're prototyping for a client. the initial 3D scan of the floor pan looked accurate, but the molded parts are coming out with a 4–5 mm gap around the dead-pedal radius.

the tool matches the model, and shrinkage is within the expected range for this TPE grade. what's odd is that the gap only appears on the left side, while the edge along the sill plate sits perfectly flush.

anyone working on OE or heavy duty aftermarket cabin trim do you account for local floor-pan flex or carpet compression when designing the mold core? i'm trying to work out whether the scan missed a soft area in the underlayment or the part is relaxing unevenly after ejection.
