1. Introduction to 3D scanning.
Types of scanners and requirements for 3D scanning, boundary conditions, file formats, terminology.
Principle of triangulation, point cloud and polygon mesh formation.
2. Preparation of objects for scanning
Positioning targets and their use, object size requirements and surface reflectivity. Scan resolution
and accuracy, shutter settings. Scanner calibration.
3. 3D scanning
Scanner setup and object alignment. Scanning process. Scan clipping and merging. Validation of scan
quality.
4. Postprocessing
Finalizing scans and cleaning the mesh, removing targets and filling holes. Smoothing, clipping and
repairing scan defects. Exporting the mesh.
5. Reverse engineering
Usage and limitations, method of work and necessary software tools. Data import and repair.
6. Working with polygons
Repairing and smoothing the mesh, trimming, splitting. Re-meshing, mesh decimation and data
reduction. Scan alignment, coordinate systems, basic reference elements, scan transformation.
7. Network modelling
Surface vs. Volume modelling, basics and terminology. Sketching on the mesh, creation of reference
elements, 3D sketching.
8. Modeling basics
Elements of modeling - Extrude, rotate, loft, sweep. Logical operations with solids. Other
modelling functions.
9. Advanced modelling
Creating surfaces, trimming, stitching and transformations. Interlacing surfaces with meshes.
Automatic surfaces and patch mesh creation. Regions and mesh segmentation.
10.Data finalization
Accuracy check and comparison of model with scan. Data export.
11.Measurement and comparison of scanned data
Principle of the function and achievable results - what it is used for and what can be achieved.
Importing data and determining reference and measured data. Alignment and its types. Reference
entities, creation of planes and vectors.
12.Comparison with reference data
3D comparison, colour map and its editing. 2D comparison and measurement points. Linear and
angular dimensions. Geometric tolerances. Other types of comparison.
13.Measurement protocol
What is the output and what should it contain. Data selection and import. Protocol creation, editing
and formatting. Linking to the measurement file. Additional functions and export of the protocol. 3D Printing
(Printing technology, printers, materials, model printing). Use of scanned data for 3D printing.
Printing directly from scan, necessary parameters and quality of the network.
