Odd Rock 01: 02 Automated Mesh

3D Model

Summary:

I had the great opportunity to participate in a demonstration of the FARO Edge ScanArm and have results from several Toronto finds.

FARO Edge ScanArm:

An articulated arm metrology unit capable of laser measurements, as well as traditional touch-probe measurements.

Demonstration Condition:

Great results despite the non-ideal environment (meeting room table shaky and unstable in terms of coordinate measurement metrology standards - typically a secured granite inspection surface is used)

Quick demonstration

Low resolution settings

Presence / involvement of attendees / first time users

Exported as XYZ data from Polyworks

Cleaning and surface reconstruction done in Meshlab

Outputs:

Raw scalar data stored and shared for posterity & modelling

Models (vector data) shared for learning & interaction (simplified model can be interacted with online on Sketchfab)
