Introduction • Laser Design Surveyor Point Digitizer • Digitally scans objects • Creates output file • Solid models can be created with software programs • Allows for recreation, modification, and analysis • Previous Research • Detailed instruction manuals • Fossil scanning • Conversion and modification instructions for software like dsculpt
ResearchObjectives • Familiarize • Digitizer • Scanning Methods • Integration into Pro/ENGINEER 2000 • Create simple instructions • Scanning • File conversion • Solid model creation with Pro/ENGINEER 2000 software
Methodology • Getting Started • Move Huxley and set up lab area • Detailed instruction manual • Quick demo • Experiment with tooth scanning and settings • Create simplified set of instructions for basic scanning
Methodology • Convert and Import • File conversion • Import converted file into Pro/ENGINEER environment • ‘Scantools’ application • Create Low Density Scan Curve Set
Methodology • Surface Creation • Set number of points on each scan line • Select the lines to create a Style Curve Surface • Create a Style Surface
Current Status and Remaining Tasks • Current • Simple instructions for scanning and file conversion • Created surfaces on objects • Remaining • Close surface to create solid model • Edit and clean up • Instructions for Pro/ENGINEER 2000 Scantools • Possibly import into SLA Machine • Web Page
