Easily captured with the desktop high-resolution 3D scanner Artec Micro, this tiny plastic wand connector section of a Drain Weasel would be a challenge for many other 3D scanners.
Scanning such an extremely small, extremely thin object is impossible for many scanners. But with one click, in just ten minutes, Artec Micro was able to deliver impressive accuracy and high quality.
Covered in tiny knobs, pockmarked dots on the hollowed-out, hard-to-reach insides, and we’re not even talking about the tiny dimensions. This jaguar ring is a challenging obstacle course for any 3D scanner, and served as a good test to demonstrate Artec Micro’s capabilities.
A metal nut, just over 15 mm, easily scanned with Artec Micro in just two scans. Unlike handheld scanners, Micro was able to scan this piece without the need for any additional features or background.
This object is considered as «large» for trajectory purposes. Although we used only a «simple» type of trajectory, with fewer frames, all of the intricate curvatures were successfully captured.
The cap was made of semi-transparent plastic and required a bit of dusting with an airbrush. Then it was mounted on the scanner’s rotating platform with a clamp. A couple of mouse clicks — and scanning commenced.
This diminutive skull's 55mm length, 26mm height, and 34mm width, together with its ample degree of geometric complexity, made it a fine choice for scanning with Micro.
