3D Scanning and Printing

3D printing “my profile base”

As an assignment, I tried making things like Rubin’s base.

We can’t make Rubin’s base subtractively like using milling machine.
The reason is related to the principle how milling machine works.





As you know from this picture, the object with a shape like RUbin's base need to be made additionaly.
Besides printing Rubin’s base I hit upon an idea that it’s better to make it using my profile data.


This the picture of my profile used for this week's assignment.

At first I prepared my profile image.

Using adobe illustrator, I made silhouette data of my profile and I converted it to dxf file.

After that I inserted the data into Fusion 360.
Then one problem happened.
The contour of my profile is too complex to express using vector data, and I had to make a new vector data.

Using spline in sketch function, I made the sketch data of my profile.

And I rolled the data and made 3D data.
That was how I made “my profile base”

download the STL data

I output the data using DA Vinci Aio 1.0.


And I can see my profile in this picture!!

By the way, I also tried using another data, but it was not successful because it was too thin.

In order to output successfully, I found the thickness is also an important factor.

Design rules

By using this one, we can check whether my 3D printer is working well or not and how accurate it can work.

I got 3D data from here.
I output this one using DA Vinci Aio 1.0
After making this object, I was surprised that it could make the object more correctly than I had expected.

3D Scanning

I scanned my head using sense.
And here is the .obj data of my head. I opened the file using fusion360 and photoshop.

download the OBJ data
This data is about 14MB, so I uploaded it to Dropbox.
