5. Scanning and 3D printing

Fifth week and printing weird stuffs.

This week's assignment was to 3D scan an object and optionally printed as well as to print a design part. So, this was very interesting. A lot of people scanned their faces and printed them, that had between cool and weird results. But I wanted to do something different although the idea of printing my face was appealing at first. I choose to scan my earbuds just because I can’t live without them. But due to size difficulties I had to change the idea. So, I scanned my mouse. The process at first was a little tricky. I used the Creality ferret scanner with the Creality software. Because it was my first time 3D scanning I had to get used to the interface and the process which it first was complicated.

I had to use dots so the scann worked better for the mouse.

Now that the scann is complete we can polish the final result so it looks better. I used the software Fusion to clean the base that the mouse was scanned on.

And this is the final result of the scanned mouse!
