Idea: 3D Scanner for Hands (Planning)

Project Overview

The primary goal of the 3D Scanner for Hands project is to develop a rotating platform that enables reliable and consistent hand scans. This subpage provides an overview of the planning process for designing and building the rotating platform.

Goals and Objectives

Goals:

  • Design and fabricate a rotating platform that ensures stability and precision during hand scans.
  • Integrate the rotating platform seamlessly with other hardware and software components of a 3D scanner.
  • Test and optimize the rotating platform to ensure reliable and consistent performance across multiple scans.

Objectives:

  • Research existing rotating platform designs and technologies.
  • Determine specifications and requirements for the rotating platform, including size, material, and rotation mechanism.
  • Design and prototype the rotating platform using CAD software and rapid prototyping techniques.
  • Test the rotating platform for stability, accuracy, and repeatability.
  • Iterate on the design based on test results and feedback.
