I have plastic piece from Volvo handbrake. I would like to do replacement part with 3D printer. The problem is insane curves of the piece. I've tried couple of times to take photos and feed them to visualSFM and haven't got usable mesh. The cat which wanted to be photographed too made quite nice mesh. As I have some photos, and I can generate them more for my need I'm wondering. Is there any tool which I can take the photos, select same points in multiple angles and it would produce good model? Automation failed this time.

Quite easy. No messing with clouds and uploads.]]> Plasteroid 3D Design tools Wed, 23 Mar 2016 10:32:54 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,626454,630971#msg-630971 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,626454,630971#msg-630971
Now I'm playing with regard3d, which seems to be quite capable and has a lot of potential. Easiest platform to use it is OS X.]]> Vuokko 3D Design tools Wed, 24 Feb 2016 04:17:58 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,626454,626638#msg-626638 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,626454,626638#msg-626638 the_digital_dentist 3D Design tools Mon, 15 Feb 2016 07:13:29 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,626454,626582#msg-626582 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,626454,626582#msg-626582 Plasteroid 3D Design tools Mon, 15 Feb 2016 04:23:32 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,626454,626477#msg-626477 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,626454,626477#msg-626477
That way I have been able to make tight fit cases for wall warts and black shiny batteries. So it has to be the rounding to every direction.]]> Vuokko 3D Design tools Sun, 14 Feb 2016 20:14:03 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,626454,626467#msg-626467 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,626454,626467#msg-626467
Also, I'm guessing the part you're trying to copy is black plastic? That might be difficult to get good photos of. Perhaps try painting it white? Or painting some coloured stripes on it so that VisualSFM has something to recognise.]]> frankvdh 3D Design tools Sun, 14 Feb 2016 19:33:49 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,626454,626454#msg-626454 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,626454,626454#msg-626454
