Sorry for the slow progress. I am designing the tool with education in mind, providing for different students to see 3D scanning as a process and providing multiple oppotuninties for individu...

Exploring Ring Scanning Optionsposted in General 3D Scanning Discussion
In educating any students; but, in particular, at-risk students, projects that promote critical thinking skills are highly desired. From personal experience, teaching hundreds of at-risk cade...

WORKFLOW: Color, Grouping and Consolidationposted in General 3D Scanning Discussion
One of the great things about the Matter and Form scanners, as compared to the others I have used, is that the system invites users to establish a CONSISTENT workflow that best works for the user. ...

FINAL SAXOPHONE MOUTHPIECE RESULTS The alignment went VERY smoothly using the reference object on the Ball Pivot stand. Here is the image showing the final scan results. Upper Left dem...

Experimentation with the insert ring grips is very easy with this system. Here is an image that shows the affect of making the ring grips taller. Note at taller ring grips allow for bet...

Exploring Scan Staging With Reference Objectsposted in General 3D Scanning Discussion
Taking the earlier Pivot Ball mounted Ring Staging clips a bit farther, it seemed that a spring loaded tool might be useful and more reliable when it comes to consitently aligning the ring with ref...

Unfortunately, it will take a bit of time before I can actually test the ring mounts. The current scanning spray I own has a particle size that would probably dull the features of small, deta...

Exploring Scan Staging With Reference Objectsposted in General 3D Scanning Discussion
As I explore the concept of staging objects for 3D scanning, the idea of using rings as test objects seemed a natural. I found a set of 19 rings on Amazon for the price of $9.99. https://ww...

This image demomstrates the concept of using a spring loaded mount on the Ball Pivot base. Caps are slid onto each side of the spring loaded mount. One set of slide-on clips holds the ring on...

Trevor, Thanks for putting the files online. I am continuing to develop the system. The next step is to develope an extension that allows users to FULLY capture ALL of a ring by ...

Exploring Scan Staging With Reference Objectsposted in General 3D Scanning Discussion
While post the last messages, it dawned on me just how easy it would be to design a spring clamp suitable for rings or coins, etc. It's not a great image; but, I hope it demonstrates how vers...

If someone will let me know how to attach an .STL file for the Ball Pivot Mount, I will do so. The sliding Insert includes a mounting hole so that you can design your own custom mounts to at...

Exploring Scan Staging With Reference Objectsposted in General 3D Scanning Discussion
The more I work with the THREE, the better I like it. The time this journey has taken me has nothing to do with the THREE. It has to do with my desire to build a scan rigging tool that ...

It turns out that there is a better guage for ensuring that both types of reference objects are located precisely in the same place relative to the saxophone mouthpiece. The first guage helpe...

Exploring Scan Staging With Reference Objectsposted in General 3D Scanning Discussion
One of the things I ran into was a tendancy to rotation the object directly, rather than rotate using the reference object. This inadvertantly caused the mouthpiece to slip off-center. ...

Exploring Scan Staging With Reference Objectsposted in General 3D Scanning Discussion
This evening, I'm only scanning, and will leave all the alignment and post-processing until a later session. That's one of the beauties of using the THREE. Projects can be completed in ...

Exploring Scan Staging With Reference Objectsposted in General 3D Scanning Discussion
This next image shows how the slide mount could be easily modified to take a slide-in clamp for a ring. This is a just a quick design that may or may not work as hoped. But, it could be...

Thanks Vik. Actually this next step had you specifically in mind... making the stand universal so that it could be easily adapted for holding other things, like rigs. The first step was to make t...

Exploring Scan Staging With Reference Objectsposted in General 3D Scanning Discussion
In the first post, images showed that my initial staging attempt, while generally successful, had some limitations, like limited forward rotation to tilt the object. And, sometimes, it was di...

Exploring Scan Staging With Reference Objectsposted in General 3D Scanning Discussion
As I taught my students in 3D design and printing classes, their goal should be to first LEARN their tools and then USE their tools. And, that is exactly what I am trying to do with my...
