3D scanner for tire profiles

[simons]

Hey guys,

I have some basic knowledge in 3D printing with the ultimaker.
Now I want to try my luck with 3D scanning of tire profile for my university job.

I can't post a schematic experiment setup, but the width of the wheel is like 20cm.

The range from the sensor to the profile is adjustable between 20cm and 70cm, so that I could get the maximum resolution out of my sensor.
I want a really precide depth image (if possible in the mm range) so that I can create a 3D model out of it and print it.

Most 3D scanners work with a rotating table and I am unsure, if it is still possible to create a flat 3D Image without expensive software.

As a sensor, I am also unsure. I've read a lot of good things about the Intel RealSense 415/435 and the StereoLab ZED. But from what I've read in a lot of reviews/tests both don't seem to have a mm resolution for the depth images. And TOF sensors also don't seem to work for this accuracy.

Do you have experience with the recording of surfaces with high depth resolution? I would like to edit the measurement data later with a software.


Thanks,
