Automated 3d Laser scanner platform
thingiverse
This 3D David scanner is fully automated, featuring a stepper motor for rotating the object and an RC servo to scan the line laser across it. See it in action at this YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnYEYUo4qf0. The setup includes a camera (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000RZQZM0), stepper controller (http://www.phidgets.com/products.php?category=13&product_id=1062_1), stepper motor (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B88DCZI), a Line Laser (http://www.amazon.com/Quarton-VLM-650-28-LPT-Generator-ECONOMICAL/dp/B00ARBPI5Y/ref=sr_1_2), servo controller (http://www.robotshop.com/lynxmotion-ssc-32-servo-controller-1.html), servo (http://www.robotshop.com/hitec-hs-485hb-servo-motor.html), scanning software (http://www.david-laserscanner.com/), and automation software written in Visual Basic. A sample scan can be found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:102319, with the automated VB6 program source code and installer attached. Communication with the David scanning software is facilitated by com0com virtual null modem cable (http://com0com.sourceforge.net/). Instructions for securing the setup with 6mm thumbscrews and a 1/2" wooden dowel are provided, along with using a 5mm set screw to secure the line laser in its place.
