Industrial design and manufacturing 3D models

The texture of this 3D model of a Klemm L25d VIIR LX-MA airplane was created using the BPR render settings in Sketchfab. We used three main settings: specular, color and glossiness.

This Klemm L25d VIIR LX-MA airplane is an exhibit at the Aviation Museum in Mondorf-les-Bains, Luxeumbourg. The airplane is hung from the ceiling of the tall museum building and would therefore be an insurmountable challenge for a short-range scanner, but not for Artec Ray, which can scan an object from up to 110m away!

A very simple part to scan and a good example of scanning holes.

The complex geometry of this carburetor makes it a very simple object to 3D scan!

This car compressor was placed on a rotating platform, which made scanning easy and fast. A very noticeable feature on this model is the holes.

A watertight 3D-model of a plastic cube produced by ProtoLabs.

Owing to the grainy structure of its texture this compressor makes an excellent scanning object.

The body of the engine and the larger details were scanned with Artec Eva. Spider was used to capture the more intricate geometry.

Have you ever scanned a scanner? We have! There were a few areas on the scanner with little geometry and texture variation.

A good example of a symmetrical object, which is impossible for other scanners to capture without the application of stickers.

Captured with Artec Space Spider. This hub cap features a lot of rather flat monotone surfaces.

This is a 3D model of a working hydrant on a street in Palo Alto, CA. To scan it, we used an Artec Eva connected to an Artec battery and a tablet for full scanning mobility.

This section of plastic casing for an electric screwdriver is a very interesting object from a 3D scanning point of view.

This measuring tape was scanned as a potential demo object.

This screw was scanned with Artec Spider after being sprayed with gloss reducing powder. A pair of pliers held the bolt vertically.

This motorcycle was scanned with both Eva and Space Spider. Eva allowed for fast and easy acquisition of the overall shape, while Space Spider was used to scan the intricate geometry of the wheels and the sides.

We scanned our Panasonic GH4 with our Artec Space Spider. This was an untreated scan, so we scanned the camera as-is with no prep.

Well used Ridgid power drill scanned with the Artec Spider.

The complete model of this Smart car was created from approximately 10-13 scans taken from various positions around all sides of the vehicle. We also took two scans from below, with the car raised on a car lifter.

A relatively easy object for scanning - the only challenges were its shiny surface (easily countered by anti-gloss spray) and the thin edges.

Small ratcheting screwdriver scanned with the Artec spider. Scanned in two passes, both laying on its side.

This part has a cylindrical shape, which is difficult for any scanner. But we found an easier way to scan it.

An early 1900’s tower well valve scanned on-site with Artec Eva, connected to a portable battery and a tablet.

An old transmission box, scanned with Eva. A good example of a challenging object, since it has a lot of deep holes.

This hippie bus was scanned with Artec Eva. The bottom parts that could not be accessed with the scanner were modeled in third-party software.
