Hi guys,
I have learnt a lot from this forum and now i want to return a little back to this forum... I want to offer FREE 3D Laser scanning services to the Cnczone community..

NOW, YOU DON'T NEED TO PURCHASE EXPENSIVE LASER SCANNER AND SPENT A LOT OF MONEY. I AM HERE TO RENDER MY LASER SCANNING SERVICES FREE OF CHARGE TO ALL CNCZONE MEMBERS.

BUT,I need your help:

1- Preparing some Rules and Regulations for such scanning work.
2- Obtaining a server where i can post the 3D Models that i scanned for you.

I need your help in the first part for now. For example,
1- i can't buy the object to scan it for you, you have to provide the object.
2- You have to bear shipment charges if you want to send me or getting it back.
3- I am not liable to any damage to the part.
4- if the part is available in my locality, i will just ask for Fair price to purchase and scan free for you.
5- If it is household item i will scan free for you (if it is in my house) and send you mesh model.
6- I will send you MESH model in STL or OBJ format only.
7- The part to be scan should not be from Atomic power plant, Weapons etc
8- If the object is Transparent, translucent, shiny and dark.. I have to apply fine powder on it.. The cost of powder and consumables will be beared by the member...
9- I have the right to display the scanned pictures on my blogsites
10- The scanned Model will be my property


I will be grateful if you can add further or rephrase the above so that we have some legal obligations at both sides. As i am giving you laser scanning services free of charge....

Currently, i have some scans done and you can see the quality:

Your help is highly appreciated.

The only help I can give is that your offer sounds great and the rules very reasonable...

gmfoster thanks but I think Point No. 10 should be like as following:
The scanned Model will be my property But I will never share the model to anyone without the permission real owner of the modeli.e the person who gave me the object for scanning

Yesterday, Mr. Steeve 3D modeller and animator contacted me to scan one of the famous character for him. The character is not available here so he will send it to me. He agreed to all above terms... I added one more term to add his name and the website address on my www.free3dscans.blogspot.com along with the scanned model pictures. he agreed.

Here is the quick scan of Computer fan. It is dark in color so i tried to get the feelings what comes out of this scan.. The results are pretty promising.

How large of a part can you scan?

[Khalid]

It depends, I can scan a Full Car in Patches (multiple scans) and then later stitch the scans... One full scale car, with my setup will need 40 scans to cover all side except the bottom side....
I will scan in both High resolution and Low resolution.. For example small details like Car Rims etc will be in High resolution mode whereas the Body will be in Low resolution mode... The scan will be look like you can see the attached car scan...

The higher the number of scans the greater the computation requirements by the computer so very difficult time consuming stitching operations...

Here is the Rooster Model recently scanned for Waynee...

Today I have scanned the Gas Turbine Blade... The scanning went good and i have done total 14 scans of it in Horizontal position.. Tomorrow I will scan it in vertical direction to get the missing details... More details can be seen at my following blogsite:

Here is the video of CNC machining of the scanned Rooster by Waynee Hill... Waynee used Vectric Cut3D for toolpath Generation...
