Terms and Conditions

THE COST OF A SCAN IS ONLY A WISH CARD?
Yes, Its true that I will do free Laser scanning services to only those persons who will just send me a Wish Card or any Postal Card.... and This Wish card is the price of scanning...
Beside this I love to scan and help others those do not have laser scanning apparatus or those who can not afford High service prices of their model to be scanned....


TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
1- i can't buy the object to scan it for you, you have to provide the object.
2- You have to borne the shipment charges if you want to send me or getting it back.
3- I am not liable to any damage to the part.
4- if the part is available in my locality, i will just ask for Fair price to purchase and scan free for you.
5- If it is household item i will scan free for you (if it is in my house) and send you mesh model.
6- I will send you MESH model in STL or OBJ format only.
7- The part to be scan should not be from Atomic power plant, Weapons etc
8- If the object is Transparent, translucent, shiny and dark.. I have to apply fine powder on it.. The cost of powder and consumables will be bared by the member...
9- I have the right to display the scanned pictures on my blog-sites

My Universal SL 3D Scanning Hardware

I have recently made a sturdy simple SL scanning setup. Following is the basic properties:
CAMERA:
1- Camera can be tilt and rotate on its base.
2- Camera can move forward and backward on Aluminum extrusion.
3- camera extrusion can move left and right on the main base extrusion.

PROJECTOR:
1- My projector can tilt and rotate on its base.
2- The whole projector can be move forward and backward on its base extrusion.
3- The projector can be lowered and move up on extrusion.
4- The projector can be rotated on vertical extrusion.
5- The projector assembly can be move left and right (near the camera and far the camera)on the main base extrusion.
FOCUS INDICATOR:
in the center i kept a stick that can be move forward and backward. I use this stick to move near the CORNER and then calibrate the camera. After removal of corner i know that near the tip of the stick is the focus of camera. So i keep the object to be scanned near the tip of the stick.
WHOLE SETUP:
The whole setup can be rotated and tilted on the camera stand.


 Three SL shots of grape leaf with different angles. The leaf scans merged correctly, no deformation observed with scans. The SL scanning is perfect as all the scans merged perfectly.

My First SL scan attempt

Here i made the scanning rig to test the first SL scan of cherub model. Total 10 scans were manually aligned and fused. Each scan took about 8sec. The quality and alignment of the scan is impressive. Currently, the Scanning rig is under modification to get variable size scans.
Ii have managed to scan this masterpiece with Vertical Negative corner and the projector-camera side by side. The results are good :)
I have not tweaked any settings except i changed the exposure of camera 1/60sec which gives good results.
Amazingly i was able to Fuse the scan with 5000 poison.Previously i was unable to pass 1000.
 As this was a first test SL scan so precision was not important for me, instead, all the 10 scans aligned one into other perfectly.

Soon i shall do a mechanical object and post precision results here. You believe i didn't used the turntable, just rotated the object with hand without knowing any precise angle.

For me the SL is 100% more good than the Laser scan i had. Its perfect..absolutely perfect. I shall never ever do laser scanning again.

Entering into New era of 3D scanning- Structure Light Scanning

Recently ordered high native resolution (1024x600 pixel) 3D LED mini projector for Structured Light scanning work. Laser scanning is slow, whereas Structured light scanning is very fast and more accurate.The scan that took 3minutes with laser scanning takes only 7secs with structured light scanning.

The projector is in transit and shall soon be reached at my door step. The price of the projector with shipment is 297US dollar.

SERVICE SUSPENDED...

Dear All,
I have suspended services for some time due to some other projects in hands. i have to do few scanning jobs  i have in hands.. I am very sorry for the delay...

I shall start scanning again once i purchase projector collecting money for it...
