Scanning a partial section of a larger object
I'm looking at purchasing a 3D printer from some upcoming projects, but one of the most necessary one's is also a bit of an oddball. I have a gas tank that needs to have protective plastic shields on the sides. The gas tank itself is roughly 18" long, 7" tall, and 16" wide, but I only need to scan a portion of that to accomplish what I need to accomplish. I have previously made these out of fiberglass and here's some pictures of what I'm talking about.
Since this is a major reason for the purchase, I would like to know if this is possible and what scanner and software I would need to scan the tank and then 'build' this piece that attaches to the bike with double stick tape before I spend the money on the printer since this would essentially be a deal breaker if I can't do this.
The printer I'm looking to purchase is the MakerGear M2.
Thanks in advance!
Printer will print perfect...
