| Summary |
|---|
| The course introduces students to the basics of 3D scanning and the use of scanned data. The aim is for the student to understand the principles and laws of 3D scanning and be able to put them into practice. As part of the course, they will try the scanning itself and then the processing of scanned data and work with them. Part of the course is also reverse engineering, which is used to convert scanned data to CAD models. The student will learn the basics of modeling, work with polygons and the use of SW tools for metrological use of scanners. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the technology of 3D scanning and the use of scanned data in technical applications and reverse engineering with regard to modern trends, which consist in metrological use, advanced modeling and the use of data for 3D printing.
Students will get acquainted with laser scanners, the process of scanning and preparation for it, data processing and modeling based on scanned inputs.
The mentioned information, experience and infrastructure can be further used by students for the creation of diploma theses in master's studies or dissertations in doctoral studies.
The student will be able to:
• prepare the object and equipment for scanning,
• scan simple parts and process scanned data,
• work with polygons, understand their function and edit them,
• implement the basics of reverse engineering and modeling,
• compare measured data and create a measurement report. |
