Description
This article is devoted to the development of affordable, inexpensive technologies for scanning physical objects to obtain three-dimensional virtual 3D models for their subsequent printing on an FDM printer. The work shows that currently 3D printing has become an integral part of industrial production, provides an overview of existing 3D printing technologies, shows the need for rapid creation of 3D computer models, analyzes existing scanning technologies and analyzes industrial scanners. The technology of affordable photogrammetry and scanning using an inexpensive Kinect device is discussed separately. The first part of this section examines the problems and difficulties that can limit and complicate the scanning process with traditional technologies, formulates a step-by-step diagram of available photogrammetry technology for obtaining 3D models, shows areas of its application, and gives specific recommendations for implementation (lighting parameters, camera used, computer programs for photo processing, constructing a scanning area, features of setting up a slicer and a 3D printer). Experimental studies of the developed photogrammetry technology in domestic conditions are shown, and an example of its application for a test Fig.is given. The second part of the section describes the technology for obtaining virtual 3D models using the Kinect device, describes its properties and its design. An accessible scanning technology using the Kinect device is proposed, recommendations are given for improving the scanning scheme, in particular, the features of installing light, the location of the sensor and the scanned object, the number of pictures taken, the exclusion of shiny objects, etc. In order to test the results of the proposed scanning technology using the Kinect device, a successful attempt was made to create a 3D model of the human torso and print it on a printer using plastic.

This article is devoted to the development of affordable, inexpensive technologies for scanning physical objects to obtain three-dimensional virtual 3D models for their subsequent printing on an FDM printer. The work shows that currently 3D printing has become an integral part of industrial production, provides an overview of existing 3D printing technologies, shows the need for rapid creation of 3D computer models, analyzes existing scanning technologies and analyzes industrial scanners.

The technology of affordable photogrammetry and scanning using an inexpensive Kinect device is discussed separately.

The first part of this section examines the problems and difficulties that can limit and complicate the scanning process with traditional technologies, formulates a step-by-step diagram of available photogrammetry technology for obtaining 3D models, shows areas of its application, and gives specific recommendations for implementation (lighting parameters, camera used, computer programs for photo processing, constructing a scanning area, features of setting up a slicer and a 3D printer).

The second part of the section describes the technology for obtaining virtual 3D models using the Kinect device, describes its properties and its design. An accessible scanning technology using the Kinect device is proposed, recommendations are given for improving the scanning scheme, in particular, the features of installing light, the location of the sensor and the scanned object, the number of pictures taken, the exclusion of shiny objects, etc. In order to test the results of the proposed scanning technology using the Kinect device, a successful attempt was made to create a 3D model of the human torso and print it on a printer using plastic.
