Topic: 3D Modeling
SMART GOAL SPECIFIC SENTENCE: I will learn about 3D Modeling using 3D Scanning
HOW TO SAVE: When starting a new scan, I need to rename the file > then choose the save location as my Period Folder inside the Documents folder > Scan files save once I finish my scan
3D Scanning uses camera and distance scanning technology to turn a real 3D object into a digital 3D object
Scan something and then 3D print a small copy of it!
What I'll Learn
I CAN take a scan of a 3D object
I CAN edit and prepare a 3D object for printing
I CAN export my file for the 3D printer
Stuff I'll Need
3D Scanner and Light
CrealityScan Software on Desktop
An object to scan
3D Scanning Tutorial.mp4Day 1
Scan the T-REX, solidify it, and check for any holes
Day 3
Scan any object (like your shoe?) or you can scan a friend!
Day 2
Show Dr. Pollina that there are no missing sections/holes
Day 4
Export your STL file to TinkerCad, make it ready to 3d print
Things to Know:
Works best on objects bigger than a shoe
Scan slowly and SMOOTHLY from every angle
If it freaks out, go back to an already scanned spot
You might have to re-scan A LOT
Project Ideas
Scan your favorite shoe and turn it into a keychain
Scan a toy to make a tiny version of it
Scan a person - closing your eyes works best, stay absolutely still!
You can 3D print a scan!
Prepare to 3D Print your scan
After editing your scan and deleting the extra areas, click the FUSION button
Lower RESOLUTION all the way down
Click Apply
While waiting for FUSION to finish, collaborate on other student projects
After Fusion completes, click the MESHING button
Lower TRIANGLES all the way down
Turn on WATERTIGHT
Click Apply
Go up to the MESH PROCESSING tab
Select SIMPLIFY and lower the slider to about 5%
