Capturing

- Now that I'm ready to capture the scan data…all I need to do is configure a couple things…in the scanning software.…First I adjust the brightness of the cameras.…I need to make sure the cameras are able to see the part,…so I need to adjust the exposure.…I want to minimize the amount of red areas.…Red means overexposure.…But I also want to make sure the part…is not too dim to be captured.…Next, the turntable needs to be set…to stop at increments.…If I say four increments,…it means the turntable will rotate 90 degrees…between every stop.…

And then at every stop it performs a scan.…With all of that said,…all I need to do now is hit scan…and let it run.…When the scan is complete…it's time to capture the other side.…I flip my part,…readjust the scanner and rescan.…Once I'm happy with the data I've collected…I process it and post it out as an STL.…That STL can be brought into your CAD system of choice…for you to do with it as you wish.…
