After the past couple years trying to get the 3d printing processes and related components figured out it’s time to add the 3d scanner element. I am still fighting the fusion360/CAD portion but have mastered the 3d printing cycle. Working with cad designers we freelance and a lot of imagination there were some great projects…
The mission of building a light strong 3d printed drone presented some challenges. Our build is doing well but refinments are always part of a continued development process. One of the areas i have wanted to improve is the blade guard assembly. Currently it is 6 parts glued together then secured to the body and…

This is putting together the concept of a motor vibration sensor and data logger. The need comes from wanting to get vibration reading from the outboard locations of a flying drone. The idea is to have a unit that can attach to the drone strut close to the motor propeller combination. There are a few…
Scanning Technology Overview Stationary Structured Light – 3D scanning technology projects structured light patterns on a surface and uses integrated camera(s) to translate the data it returns into a 3D mesh of the item. The sensor typically remains stationary while scanning and it may be accompanied by a turntable to rotate the part to capture 360…
