How I Digitize & Modify Objects in 5 Steps - 3D Scanning Workflow (ft. Creality Raptor)

Great idea, perfect beer holder. And you can just flick the smokes out the window.

Very Impressive project! However unless your aircraft is experimental category, could you explain the process to have a 3d printed part replace a type certified component?

[@ygk3d]

@@ryanbellyt thanks! Good question. This isn’t my plane so that’s not really my domain, but I believe you’re right about all aircraft components needing to be certified. The owner of this plane is using this custom part at their own discretion. I’m not sure what would be required to get it certified for more widespread use.

Thanks for the fantastic video! It had exactly the information I needed. I recently purchased a Creality Raptor and was unsure which software to use for editing and merging the data. Could you also advise which surfaces require pre-scan spray? For example, do black, shiny black, or metal surfaces need 3D scan spray treatment? Big thanks from Ethan in Australia!

[@ygk3d]

@@crazyethanyeahyeah thanks Ethan. With these blue light laser scanners it’s generally only reflective and transparent surfaces that need spray. They do pretty well with black surfaces, which is not the case for structured white light scanners.

Using Zbrushes to reconstruct the geometry point cloud, does create edged looped polygons. those edge loops are good for computations.

[@stevesloan6775]

Mission critical indeed. How about having that drink bottle electromagnetically fixed, and that your local static discharge switches the electromagnet?

Great video

[@ErrorTH]

Cool tutorial (the part about turning a mess into a usable mesh) , but not the best example. If this was a curved interior panel that had to match other curves, this would be a huge time saver. But this armrest can be recreated with calipers and CAD, and probably faster.

[@deancampbell724]

Great video. Do you plan on doing a more in-depth release for beginners?

[@koenvanduffel2084]

You just convinced me again that 3d scanning is not read ready for me. Only in case of very organic models 3d scanning might make sense, this one would be wat easier to just measure and model up.

[@MatttAt]

Great job, I was wondering what your laptop specs are? I've heard some conflicting info about the amount of ram required and processor speed it takes to get 30+ fps.

[@ygk3d]

@@MatttAt thanks! I use an Alienware M15 with 32GB of RAM, Intel i7-9750H processor, and Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 GPU. The scanning is fluid with this setup but some of the post-processing is laggy.

[@MatttAt]

@@ygk3d It might be overkill, but I just bought 64GB of Kingston DDR5 to pair with the Intel 12700H in my Lenovo laptop. Thanks a lot, can't wait to get started!

[@masonkeith8037]

I was using a MSI with 16G RAM, i7 processor Nvidia RTX3060 and it worked great for scanning but could be very slow on processing. I just upgraded to MSI Raider 32G RAM (expandable), i9 processor, and Nvidia RTX 4070 and have no lag for anything.

maybe Water dissolvable filament and using your prusa cl could of saved time on the support removal and made it look better.

Hey man, I feel like shit saying this, because I really like your content and this video was no exception, but this still felt like an advertisement. Your lack of criticality towards the product made me feel like you weren't being honest and it will make me wary of your "reviews" in the future. A great example of toeing the line between being honesty and not pissing off his sponsors is how Joel, of 3d nerd, handles his feedback. Wishing you all the best, mate.

[@ygk3d]

@@fail_fast thanks for the feedback. This video was sponsored by Creality, as I acknowledged. For that reason I chose to do a project, not a review. This is why I didn’t focus on positive/negative attributes of the scanner, only how I used it to accomplish a task. You can be assured that I would never accept financial compensation for a review and that my reviews will always be as unbiased as possible including both positive and negative attributes. The value I hope viewers will derive from this video is not whether or not the Creality Raptor is any good, but rather what steps I take in my 3D scanning workflow and how they can apply that to their own projects.

I can not get meshmixer on my MacBook.

[@ygk3d]

There is a version available for Mac.

[@seekanddestroy9111]

This cant be called reverse enguneering since you didnt recreate a CAD model of thar armrest. Its ok for making parts that dont require tolerances and precise fits and dimensions.

[@ygk3d]

@@seekanddestroy9111 for sure. I call this “quick a dirty reverse engineering”. Going back to CAD is a whole other process.

[@jonbondy]

I tried scanning spray, but it is expensive and you will end up breathing all of the stuff that you spray on the object being scanned as it sublimes over many hours. Rather, buy some spray-on foot powder. Inexpensive, effective, and easy to wash off. Also, with the Revopoint Miraco, no dots are required. Seriously. I stopped using those dots a while ago. Unnecessary with the right scanner

[@Todestelzer]

This laser scanner cost 1500€ the next I know is the Einscan HX for around 10k and even this scanner needs markers in laser mode. You can print parts and apply the markers on them. You rarely need to apply markers on the part this way. And you can’t use foot spray on everything. I will for sure not spray it on a iPhone or other expensive electronic device or for example in a cockpit or inside a car.

[@etienne_dupre]

It depends on the technology you use. Infrared don't need reflective dots, but it struggles with black and reflective surfaces. Laser is perfect for these surfaces and you don't need a spray. But the laser needs reflective dots for tracking. The Creality Scan Raptor has both technologies integrated, so you can choose which one you wanna use. This guy is using the laser mode and also uses scanner spray which isn't needed. He definitely has no idea, what he's doing. I have this scanner at home, I know what I'm talking about.

cant get mine to do shit. tons or markers ive calibrated. it just puts out tedious garbage and stuttered images
