Scan Details:
- Scanning took approximately 5 hours for 16 scans. I’m sure this could be done quicker with experience as we were just getting used to the system.
- The data was processed to .ptx files with Surphaser software and then imported into Cyclone to register cloud to cloud.
- The main turbine was modeled in Inventor 2013 using the native Autodesk Pointcloud support.
- The female stab connector inside was meshed in Geomagic and exported as an .stl.
