I assume you are one of our customers and already using one of our scanners?

With large parts it’s obviously important to make sure that they are properly secured so that they do not flex or change shape during the scanning process. Otherwise, if you plan ahead what needs to be done and take your time it shouldn’t be a significant challenge. We have done sort of part multiple times in the past without problem.

As I’ve explained in my post, I find that planning is usually the most important in any project. In your case for example, you should probably decide ahead which resolution level is required, how many scans will be needed to cover the whole part and where they should be, etc… That way when you start scanning you only have that to take care of.

If you require more details explanation I encourage you to contact our technical support team who will be happy to provide you with details explanations.

Cheers!

I have got a project for scanning the rear & Front FRp panels of a Luxury Coach.I have scanning such a large component for the frst time.Any Precautions i should take to reduce measurement problems because the comp.is really big & dont want to take chance with alignment issues.

thnx.

With the Google Earth plugin installed, this building is my nicest realization so far. http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=980bfd2d9406012e16c2b815b5b13008

We must note that when it gets to complex buildings like this one, the software slows down quite a bit when you drag the vertices around.

Overall, it’s not perfect, but it works surprisingly well…!

This is exactly why Google reviews the buildings before adding them in Google Earth. As far as I can see, they are quite strict in terms of what goes into GEarth.

I’ve had already 1 building refused because of incomplete texturing, so it shows that Google is keeping a close eye on what goes into their software.

Well, the layers have added Google earth functionality to a great extent. The other day, i saw Google Earth Games , now wonder what else is left with google earth.

My latest adventures have once again taken my outside our Head Office, this is why I’ve been a little bit late in answering. However, rest assured that I do read everything that’s posted here.

Mr. Bahgat: Unfortunately the owner of the ship as well as the shipyard have both requested to remain anonymous so I cannot mention their name. Is there anything specific you would like to know?

Mr. Jason: We, as well as many of our customers, have done exactly what you are suggesting many times in the past. It is actually quite easy to accomplish and provides good and easy to understand quality information on whether the glass is the correct shape or not.

To give you an example, we have actually scanned the front windshield of public transportation city bus to validate if there was any buckling effect when they were mounted on the frame.

The collected information can also be used for design purposes like it was the case with the application I’m describing in this post.

Cheers!
