    Assuming they want a like for like model then no reason to put into CAD. Scan, mesh, fill the holes, smooth out any problems, align it to the world axis and then maybe cut a plane off the bottom and...

    For the basic shape you're going to want to create a surface over the front face and then draw around the profile of the glasses, project this on your surface and delete the excess. Once you have the...

    Have you got an image of the eyewear you can share?

    It really depends how simple the propeller is. Is it a single thickness? In the simplest method, you're effectively going to have to load in the scan and then model a 2D shape for the start and...

    Designspark Mechanical is great for making 3D printing models but you can't save out as a solid model (though somebody with Spaceclaim can do this for you.) We have an apprentice here just starting...

    Perhaps 10% of our work we're providing pure scan data (meshes or point clouds.) Most people are looking for an end result - whether it's an inspection report, finished solid model or the end...

    David will create a mesh yes (I'm 99% sure anyway - have never used it.) In some ways it's more accurate working from a point cloud but I nearly always convert to a mesh first.

    Wrap is (in my opinion) the best software for turning your point cloud into a mesh and basic mesh alterations. The David software will also do this however, and to start with I agree it's an...

    SLS Nylon parts can definitely be printed.

    We have a customer that uses them for casting patterns. We print them along the split line, he attaches them to boards and then does a process of spray...

    An intake manifold is unlikely to be a simple thing to measure (the ports especially.)

    Yes they would need to use CAD after, but using 3D Scanning is a very beneficial tool to use as a template...

    Photogrammetry is the word you're after.

    The software of the moment is called "Capturing reality" and is in BETA and free only until the end of the month. The old standard was Agisoft.

    I've had a look and you don't appear to get mirroring in the free version, so no option of live mirroring.

    Your best workaround is probably just to do your half sketch and then when you want to...

    I'm not sure, it's not something I use.

    Am sure you'll get used to it however. In my opinion it is by far the best free program for basic mechanical models.

    Was liking the look of this at TCT.

    It seems to be very well thought out, but will wait to see how good it is.

    Unless they have updated it since the early models, this is one I would stay away from. It can take a pretty single picture, but it's depth cameras are off so you can't take multiple and merge...

    Would agree the SLS-2 is a more versatile scanner for the money.

    I'd personally only be interested in the NextEngine to have access to the Rapidworks software. It's potentially far more powerful...

    Hi Tinnnn,

    You're using the wrong cartridge for a 310

    It should be an HP 10 - C4800a

    The HP 11 is for the 510 and the newer x50 series

    Hopefully that will make it an easy fix :)

    For jewellery and casting I would strongly recommend keeping your B9 (or even updating it to the HD projector.)

    No Problem.

    I can't see anywhere in the UK that does it (we don't really have fridge freezers.) There are plenty of places that will ship to the UK but want $25 or so for postage.
