Week 8 – 3D printing and scanning

In this week we studied about 3D printing and scanning. Due to Covid-19 we didn’t had the chance to finalize this project with the 3D printer, but just with the scanning.

For this project i used an app for scanning called QLONE

Basically with this app you need a printed foil like this one showed below, and then you have to positionate your 3D object in the middle of it.

I have spent a lot of time for the scan, i had to redo it like 5 or 6 times because the feature is not really intuitive. Also the light is important, if the model is not illuminated properly the app can’t see the shape of the object.

The effective scanning.

I used this Homer Simpson figure for my scan.

The results that i had with this scanner, i can say it is nothing short of fun…

That is embarassing.. ahahah

So i just thinked that the Homer figure was too complex for the app, and i just tried with another more simple shape.

Same results, even worst in a sense. It was a Rubik Cube..
