3D scanner.
I'm using the SLS david scanner, now they are owned by HP.
Hello,
We're getting a lot of clients coming with physical parts in hand asking for copies of those parts.
Copying the part to CAD to extract the dxf silouette takes a lof of time.
I was wondering if there was something out there to speed up this process for parts that are just lasercutting silouettes (eg; flat plate with holes, etc..)
I was thinking maybe a device that you'd place the part on top of a preasure plate or something and it would extract the negtive silouette and quickly get the 2D silouette with good accuracy.
Maybe optical scanner? I don't know.
I know how to get a silouette from a photo or scan with vector softwares (eg: inkscape), but that takes time also, that's not what i'm looking for.
What i'm looking for is something, commercially available, that can extract a 2D silouette from a physical part in seconds.
Does anyone know of something similar to that?
Thanks in advance!
Marc.

You can trace the part,scan it and then convert to outlines in a drawing program. If the part is large you can in get it scanned for a few bucks.
