3D Scan

This was my first 3D print and scan of a model of myself. The process was very interesting. Normally for us students, we would need to download the app, Scandy Pro, on our phone. However, it requires an iPhone that is iPhone X or later, and I did not have that type of model. So during class, I decided to use the school iPad Monocle Structure Scanner to scan. I first wanted to scan my Airpods case with the iPad, but due to the camera on the iPad not being able to correctly scan my Airpods case, I decided to scan a model of myself. After attempting to scan my Airpods case, our professor reconfigured the program and then approached to scan a model of myself. The process was very interesting, in the app, there is a 3D cube that captures the model within the box. So, to capture an accurate model of myself, I had to sit on a chair and not move to the best of my abilities. My professor then started to capture me sitting in the chair, circling around me, trying to capture every part of myself. It is an interesting process, that usually takes two people to complete. After capturing myself, the model looked very accurate of what it has captured. The files were OBJ format so I downloaded the files, then imported the files to my google drive, saved the folder onto my desktop, and then imported it onto Tinkercad. On Tinkercad, I increased the size of my model since it was very small when it was first imported. I then downloaded the model as an STL file, then transferred it to the Ultimaker program at the lab. I decided to add a raft at the bottom of my model so the print would go smoothly, and my model will stay upright thanks to the bottom raft. After the print, the model came out great, the print looked just like as in Tinkercad. I’m amazed of how it captured the details of my hoodie and beanie that I was wearing. I can’t wait to see what other types of 3D scanned objects I will be printing towards the future.
