Opinions on 3D scan to make buck
Hi Guys
Ive seen quite a few bucks built which look great, just thinking of making one up by getting a 3D scan of the part. Is 3D a good way to go in your opinion? So basically getting the part 3D scanned then slicing the scan in several pieces, then these slices can be made into a paper template which can be transferred to timber. I'm thinking of doing this, I am waiting for a quote to come back to see how much it will be for scanned slices but I think it would save a crap load of time.... I think. Opinions please

Bart,
Make sure you can get the format in something you can print out if you want full scale printing. I recently bought 3D slices for a buck that were based on a 3D mode of a car. I got two sets of files, one was sections in PDF files and the others were in .dwg file format. I was hoping to print off the PDF files in full scale using the tiling printing option but I was told best they could do with PDF was 1/10 scale so I am still figuring out what to do. I don't know if the .dwg files can be converted to something allowing full scale printing. I know I can use the PDF and scale up to full size manually, but that was what I was trying to avoid. As you can probably tell I don't know much about this type of thing. Steve

Steve,
Send your pdf to a local sign company to plot out, I don't think it would be silly money, shop around.

If you're getting a scan done and sliced into individual sections, get them outputted in .dxf file format and either get them water jet cut or send them to someone who has a CNC router. The latter would most likely be the cheapest and easiest way of going about it.

But yes CNC would be good. And quick.
