3D Scanner

Machine using
Arduino
This presentation will cover the use of Arduino to build a
3D scanner machine. We'll explore the hardware
components, software, and programming required to
create a functional 3D scanning device.

PB
Overview of 3D Scanning
Technology
1 Laser Scanning
Uses a laser to project a line or pattern onto an object,
capturing 3D data with a camera.

2 Structured Light
Projects a known pattern of light onto an object, then
analyzes the distortions to calculate 3D shape.

3 Photogrammetry
Captures multiple 2D images from different angles, then
reconstructs a 3D model from the image data.
Hardware Components and Setup
Arduino Board Motors Sensors

The Arduino microcontroller is Stepper motors or servos are A camera and laser or
the brain of the 3D scanner, used to rotate the object or structured light projector are
controlling the motors and the scanner itself, capturing used to capture the 3D data
sensors. data from multiple angles. of the scanned object.
Software and Programming
1 Scanning Software
Use open-source or custom-built software to control the
scanner hardware and process the captured data.

2 Arduino Coding
Write Arduino sketches to manage the motors, sensors,
and data acquisition for the 3D scanning process.

3 Data Processing
Process the raw data into a 3D model using algorithms for
point cloud registration, surface reconstruction, and mesh
generation.
Applications and Use Cases
Rapid Prototyping
3D scanning can capture the geometry of physical objects, which can then be 3D
printed for rapid prototyping and iteration.

Reverse Engineering
Scanning can digitize existing products or parts, allowing for reverse engineering and
the creation of new designs.

Cultural Preservation
3D scanning can create digital archives of cultural artifacts, enabling preservation
and virtual exploration.

Medical Applications
Scanning can capture 3D models of body parts, aiding in medical diagnosis,
prosthetic design, and surgical planning.
