i'm sure almost everyone here has to have a laser i hope
anybody with a laser and a web cam and a printer can help me out here
this is what i need help with i found this program online its a 3d laser scanner but my laser sucks i couldn't get the webcam to see it or make it work watever u wana call it it wasn't working out the laser i was useing is a real piece a crap shines a straight line well more like to the left a little anyway it broke and i never got a scan with it
supposedly u can use straight line lasers to do the 3d scan if u shine the laser through the stem of a wine glass
kinda like this
heres normal laser
[]-----
heres through the wine glass
[]---|<
kinda hard to explain but i'll post a video link
HERE this guy explains the wine glass around 0:45 in the video
he also explains all the stuff u need to setup the program just note that his scan comes out looking bad
YouTube - How to make a 3D scanner
heres the site for the laser scanner u can download the program from these guys its free i think u buy it to get some other features maybe like ability to save files or something or not i dont really know DAVID 3D Scanner
heres a few videos of how it works
this video kinda sucks but at the end you can see how you put the scans together around 4:40 in the video the scans in this video are way better then the wine glass guy
YouTube - DAVID Laserscanner, Making of
heres another video showing how to setup the servos and crap that u dont really need unless your serious about this stuff
YouTube - home made motion controlled laser for david 3d
all im asking is if anybody wants to try out this program and let me know what lasers and webcams work and if the scanning program even works like the videos show let me know cause i was guna buy a laser but i dont no which ones work and which ones dont work with this program
or if maybe i can still use the little crappy laser i have if i mod it or if i can rip a laser out of a dvd drive any ideas help or comments watever just let me know
