Anyone have experience with 3D 'laser' scanners?

Just bought this bad boy for work. It's not really a laser scanner, but it works like the technology.

I think my boss is stretching mine and this device's capability with what he wants out of it.

Thats damn cool...what does he want you to scan.

I used one at Lsu. Works better if you brush baby powder over what you are scanning

> Thinks we can image this (pitting is extensive but you can't really see it), and export it to solidworks where we could model the inside of the vessel and produce a finite element analysis under fill and launch conditions. We're going to take traditional thickness measurements as well, so making these to data maps line up is something I'd actually be shocked with. Going all the way to an FEA is a stretch.

Yeah that little scanner will not be capable of that

It's been sand blasted and repainted, do you think baby powder or something darker would help? Suggestions?

Those hieroglyphs are COOL.
Is this in Egypt?

Since your taking wall thickness measurements, could you use the cut/fill method in solidworks to show the volume of the missing material?

You guys should check out FARO or Leica and some of their scanning products if you really want to get serious about scanning.
edt: softwarewise Geomagic Studio converts point clouds into surfaces and meshes.

We should be able to.

Yea, I contacted Faro. They have some awesome technology.

I do 3D laser scanning and survey for a project management group. You need to upgrade.
ETA: If this a one time thing you should look into renting a unit. The registration software can be rented as well.

In fact, if this is a one time thing, you should just hire a metrology company to do the scanning for you and convert it into a format you can use.

Stress Engineering showed us a presentation of them doing this. No idea what machine or program they used. Very cool concept.
I think the data can only be used to generate a thickness profile/map (must assume no internal corrosion), and load that into an FEA model. The FEA is gonna use discrete elements anyway. It's basically doing an AUT, but from the rough surface side.

We're doing traditional calcs along with it, at most were hoping to interest our community with a pretty picture with our data superimposed.

3d scanning is an awesome platform. I have used it in place of conventional surveys for road and bridge as well as some industrial things, we contract the scanning out because we don't really need it enough to justify the expense of purchasing quality equipment, but the month I demoed a Leica system I was impressed, and that's saying something because I don't like Leica in general.
