Audi A3 Hood Scan – Take 2
I spoke with Jarrod at Creaform this morning, and he said “hey uh, looks to me like you need to recalibrate your EXAscan.” So, I ran the calibration procedure and re-scanned the hood, and got a very nice and tidy result: Now that’s more like it!
Audi A3 Hood Scan
I was feeling bored and cooped up today – too many days of Thanksgiving leftovers and loafing around. So I targeted up my Audi A3 hood and scanned it, just for practice and to get out of the house a bit. After a few minutes, it looked like my car had come down with a case … Read more
Giles 200: Titan IO-375 Engine Scanning – Part 2
I’m still working at making a nice engine model of the IO-375 for the Giles 200 project, and so I went down to the airport this morning to continue scanning. I decided to take Jarrod’s advice from the comments on my first post, and break the scanning into two parts – a lower res scan … Read more
Giles 200: Titan IO-375 Engine Scanning
Hey what happened to that Giles 200 project? Well once I figured out that I was getting a laser scanner, I put scanning the engine on hold, because making air cooled engine models with a mechanical arm is well, pretty awful. So, now that I have the laser scanner, it’s full speed ahead! I’m going … Read more
PointDeviation, MinBox

I was looking around at paid options, when … Read more

Creaform MAXshot Demo
While out here on a sales trip, Jarrod Schmidt – my Creaform sales rep, dropped by to demo the MAXshot option for my EXAscan 3D laser scanner. What is the MAXshot? In a nutshell, it’s a range extending option for the EXAscan. As I outlined in my first post on the EXAscan, the error is … Read more
T-Splines V3.3 Sneak Peek – Re-topo tools will blow your mind
Well folks, here it is, the thing I’ve been dying to blog about. T-Splines version 3.3 is nearly here, and for some reason the stars have aligned with my purchase of an EXAscan laser scanner and this newest T-Splines version. I must be lucky, but whatever it is, I have literally been doing happy dances … Read more
L-39 Instrument Panel Overlays
Nothing like getting a new tool and then booking work with it straight away, gotta love that. Minh of Minh Jet needs some instrument panel overlays for an L-39 they’re working on. Since the instruments are not stock, the old panel overlays no longer work. The only real solution is to cook up something custom. … Read more
