The problem

Replacing or modifying a legacy part is impossible without a model, and no drawings exist for most of them. Commercial scanners are priced far beyond a small workshop.

The approach

  1. 01

    Built a capture pipeline on PrimeSense depth hardware through the OpenNI framework.

  2. 02

    Implemented point cloud capture, alignment and mesh reconstruction from multiple scan positions.

  3. 03

    Exported watertight meshes suitable for CAD cleanup, machining or direct 3D printing.
