1. To design a 3D model that could not be made subtractively.
2. To scan a 3D object using a 3D scanner.
Materials:
(a) CAD software (Autodesk Fusion 360) to design the 3D model;(b) Original Prusa i3 3D printing machine; (c) ARTEC LEO 3D scanner to scan a 3D object (a spray paint in this project)
Fabrication:
(a) 3D printing: The 3D printed project involved designing a 3D model first, using Fusion 360, and then transferring it to the user interface (Prusa Control) to command the 3D printing machine. Following loading the file,
I had to edit the program code using a Text Editor (Notepad in this case): M140 S55 (set bed temp) and M190 S55 (wait for bed temp) to be M140 S72 and M190 S72, respectively.
(b) 3D scanning: At first, the 3D spray painting bottle was scanned manually from a 360 degree angle and then transferred to the operating interface (Arctec Leo 3D scanner). Using the "Autopilot" option, I did the necessary
processing and by employing the "Eraser" option from the "Editor" panel I eliminated the unwanted part to be exluded from the 3D scanned image.
Fabrication Mishaps:
(a) During the 3D printing, I forgot to check the dimension of the object and associated printing time, which eventually took a lot of production time.
(b) During the processing of the 3D scanned image, I couldn't optimize the "Fill holes" feature for the bottom surface of the bottle.
