INTRODUCTION TO: RangeVision Spectrum

MACHINE DESCRIPTION
RangeVision Spectrum is a new high resolution 3D scanner based on the safe-to-use structured light technology. It is designed for
scanning small, medium, and larger objects. The 3D scanner has three fields of view and is equipped with 3.1 Mpix industrial color
cameras. RangeVision Spectrum captures complex geometry, flat and long objects, as well as small details with constantly high 3D
resolution while keeping the accuracy up to 0.04 mm. It has many advantages including:
1. 3-in-one scanner:
Three scanning zones to capture different-sized objects from 1cm up to 3m. RangeVision Spectrum is a multi-purpose device capable
of scanning objects of different sizes simply by changing the scanner’s field of view. No need to look for the options or another 3D
scanner- Spectrum is 3 scanners in one. This device provides highly detailed scans of any type of objects, from jewelry to large
automobiles, with accuracy up to 0.04 mm and 3D resolution up to 0.072 mm. It is perfect solution for companies that specialize in 3D
scanning services, reverse engineering, product design or productions of all kind of small or medium-sized objects.
2. 3.1 Mpix industrial cameras.
For highly detailed and full-colour scans. Industrial colour cameras with 3.1 Mpix sensors can capture the finest details and curved
surface of the object-up to 0.07 mm.
3. Three scan modes.
To render complex geometry of objects of any size and shape. There are two cameras to capture the geometry of the object, while
making a scanning process more accurate and stable, reducing the need to calibrate the scanner during operations to a minimum.
Spectrum is an ideal device for creating accurate visualization of objects with complex shape. Moreover, thanks to the possibility to
scan with targets and adjustable fields of view the size of the scanned objects is limited only by your imagination and the power of
your PC

INTRODUCTION TO: Ultimaker 2+
MACHINE DESCRIPTION
Ultimaker is a 3D printer manufacturing company, they make 3D printers, develop 3D printing softwares, and sell bounded 3D printing
materials. Their product line includes the Ultimaker 3 series, Ultimaker 2+ series and Ultimaker Original+. These printers are used by
industries such as automotive, architecture, healthcare, education, and small-scale manufacturing. What is available in QBIC Fablab is
the Ultimaker 2+ printer, and after this tutorial you will be able to use the machine easily without any problem.

The Ultimaker 2+ is a powerful 3D printer that uses filament (such as PLA, Nylon, and ABS) to print the object. The idea is basically that
we have a solid material (filament), and we are reshaping it to our own 3D model. This is done by melting the filament to become liquid,
and then we start to build the model by constructing layer by layer until we get the final shape. The idea is similar to when we build a
house, we align bricks layer by layer until we have our own house in its final shape

Preparing the 3D Model For Printing:
For the Ultimaker 2+, it is recommend to use Cura software to prepare your 3D print files. Cura quickly and accurately converts 3D
models into 3D print files within seconds, showing you a preview of the print so you can be sure everything is as you would like it to be.
The Cura software can be found at www.ultimaker.com/software. After downloading, open the installer and run the installation
wizard to complete the installation. When opening Cura for the first time, you will be asked to select your 3D printer, the Ultimaker
2+. No other configuration is required and you can directly start using Cura. You can also return back to Introduction to Ultimaker 2+
section and download the software from the link provided in the description area.

INTRODUCTION TO: Formlabs | FORM 2
MACHINE DESCRIPTION
Form 2 is one of the most reliable 3D printer ever created. It delivers high resolutions parts at the fraction of the cost and footprint of
industrial 3D printer. Formlabs printer uses the stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing technology which is also known as resin printing.
This technology used for creating models, prototypes, pattern, and production of parts in a layer by layer fashion using
photopolymerization, a process which light causes chains of molecules to link, forming polymers. Those polymers then make up the
body of a three-dimensional solid. Stereolithography or SLA can be used to create things such as prototypes for products still in early
design, medical models, and computer hardware as well as many other applications. While SLA is fast and can produce almost any
design, even if it can be expensive design. The advantage Form 2 3D printer has is that it has integrated resign technology, meaning that
it has different resin packages that can be used in different application that requires specials resigns.
