Homemade laser scanner software

[94vette]

I've been cruising about this forum for a few months now. And I can't believe all of the cool stuff I stumble across almost every day. I've spent countless hours trying to get a strange shape into a 3D model because scanning was too expensive.

Build it, and they will come.

As soon as your selling, I'm buying.

I haven't made any updates as yet as I've had virtually no feedback. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing!

Bruce,
I have and older style scanner I know from experiments that is is able to scan upto a depth of ~90mm (~3.5") I was wondering what would be the design approach to incoperate this into my 8Ft x 4Ft CNC router. reason being I was thinking it could be used to scan large surface models

Bruce,

[brayne]

I'm sorry Salty, but I don't know even the first thing about CNC routers. This scanner project was always designed as a means for scanning non-symmetrical objects into a 3D modelling application. It was never intended for CNC use, but that's where most of the interest arose.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

All I was thinking was attaching the scanner bar to the Z-axis (height adjustement) and then running the scanner bar over the top of a shape to give me a really BIG flat bed scanner...
Might be even able to add some sort of level senser to automaticaly adjust the scanner bar within say 30mm of the top of the sanned image,

Any thoughts???
