Implementation of 3D Scanning Technique for Object Model Replication and Customization Using Rapid Prototyping

Abstract

The research is based upon the various implementation techniques of 3D scanning. The main focus is on the two schemes i.e. Laser triangulation and Photogrammetry; discussing their pros and cons, limitations and methodology for implementing them. Finally, analyzing their results in real-time and comparing the accuracy of their results. The results obtained though might seem promising but when 3D printed, have some flaws. Combining the techniques for accurate results is the proposed solution. The 3D model thus obtained can be replicated and customized by the aid of 3D modeling software which can be then manufactured using rapid prototyping.
