Cura software, 3D modelling with Ultimaker, 3D scanning
In our lab we are using ultimaker 2+ 3D printer. It has an open filament system and has easily swappable nozzles of different dia (0.25,0.4,0.6 and 0.8 mm) for detailed or faster print speed. For our testing we used 0.4 mm nozzle which is good compromize between speed and accuracy
As the task for the week was to make something which cannot be made using subtracting method decided to design another object using Solidworks. This job cannot be made subtractively as it has round curved edges which are bended inwards along with an sphere at the centre.
Generating Gcode using Cura
The job made was 3D printed
The conclusion was the supports were very strong and difficulty was faced removing them
So I changed the support Z distance value from 0.1 to 0.3 and again 3D printed the job
For 3D scanning we will be using Roland MDX 40A Milling machine.
For scanning purpose we had attached 3D scanning sensor unit(ZSC-1) to the head of the milling machine.
Specifications of our scanning unit are as below:
I have decided to scan a toy car as it had lots of details in top surface.
Below are steps followed while scanning the toy car.
Initially it takes full 305x305 area for scan. It is needed to be adjust for the area which we need to scan. Or else it will scan for full area and will take excessively high time
