Industrial 3D models

Makita case • Space Spider

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

Delphi compressor • Space Spider

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

Carburetor • Space Spider

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

Hydrant • Eva

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.

Steering joint • Space Spider

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

Stanley screwdriver • Space Spider

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

Measuring tape • Space Spider

This measuring tape was scanned as a potential demo object.

Eva • Space Spider

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

Panasonic GH4 • Space Spider

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.

Ball joint • Space Spider

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

Power drill • Space Spider

Well used Ridgid power drill scanned with the Artec Spider.

Spanner • Space Spider

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

Product part • Space Spider

Product part made of plastic. Scanning time was around 5 minutes, and post-processing took about 20 minutes. This is a good example of fast reverse engineering.

Transmission • Eva

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

Compressor • Space Spider

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.

Gear • Space Spider

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

Medium-sized screw • Space Spider

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

Engine • Combo

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

Smart car • Ray

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.

Tower well valve • Eva

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

VW bus • Eva

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.
