OBJ 3D models
Scanned using Artec 3D technology
Dual-clutch gearbox• Leo
Yes, this is one of those dandy not-so-little devices that no one wants to hear their mechanic talking about, especially not while he’s rubbing his hands together and has a certain little gleam in his eye.
Artec Leo is often called in when the height of the object to be 3D scanned approximates that of a Yeti. Why?
Electrical outlet• Micro
Plastic can reflect light directed at it. That’s simple yet very useful info for someone who wants to have an electrical outlet 3D scanned.
Screw• Micro
Small object — big challenge. How do you capture the thread of this 10 mm long screw using a 3D scanner?
Troll• Leo
This ordinary office Troll was scanned with an Artec Leo 3D scanner. In exchange for the promise of some meaty morsels, the troll agreed to pose for the scanning by leaning on a chair that was later removed during post-processing in Artec Studio.
Lion statue• Leo
This lion is one of two nearly identical bronze animals prowling alongside the steps of a town hall. Mounted on a pedestal, it was a bit hard to reach, but not for Leo — its namesake!
Crocodile Statue• Leo
Part of an outdoor fountain basin, this 3D model of a croc was created with the Artec Leo 3D scanner and the powerful Artec Studio software.
Car body• Leo
Taking only 20 minutes to scan the whole car, and just under one and a half hours to process the captured 3D data, this highly accurate 3D model was ready in under two hours from start to finish.
Fountain Basin• Leo
Leo was able to scan this fountain’s 7-meter basin in just under fifty minutes, with no need for additional preparation or the use of extra features to improve the scanner’s tracking.
Copper key• Micro
A copper key scanned with Artec Micro. The key had to be sprayed due to its reflective surface.
Plastic bolt• Micro
Despite its complex geometry and reflective surface, this 1.5 cm plastic bolt was captured using the ultra-precise Artec Micro in just three scans.
Metal nut• Micro
A metal nut, just over 15 mm, easily scanned with Artec Micro in just two scans. Unlike handheld scanners, Micro was able to scan this piece without the need for any additional features or background.
Pipe bend• Micro
A pipe bend, scanned with Artec Micro. It took only two scans using the simple trajectory to get the full shape of the pipe.
Plaster cast of teeth• Micro
This object is considered as «large» for trajectory purposes. Although we used only a «simple» type of trajectory, with fewer frames, all of the intricate curvatures were successfully captured.
Metal cutting blade• Space Spider
This cutting blade was a great training instrument for scanning thin objects.
Turbine• Space Spider
This small turbine was scanned in three passes using a rotating table — this enabled the operator to easily capture all the curves from different angles with less hand motion.
Mushroom (pleurotus eryngii)• Space Spider
This pleurotus eryngii mushroom was very easy to scan due to its size and thickness.
Motorbike• Combo
This motorcycle was scanned with both Eva and Space Spider. Eva allowed for fast and easy acquisition of the overall shape, while Space Spider was used to scan the intricate geometry of the wheels and the sides.
Bovine heart• Space Spider
The main difficulty with scanning internal organs is that they are soft and change shape when flipped, making it difficult to combine scans made from different sides.
Classic side table• Eva
A small bedside table, quickly scanned by Artec Eva in three scans. The thin legs might have been a challenge if they had not been scanned in front of a background (the wall and floor). Otherwise, a very easy to scan piece of furniture.
Puffer Fish• Space Spider
A taxidermy porcupine fish, scanned with Space Spider. A somewhat challenging object due to its semi-translucent skin and difficult geometry.
Flower• Space Spider
Scanning this flower with Artec Space Spider was fairly easy — one just needed to be mindful of perspective change in geometry of the petals once the object was turned over.
Coins• Space Spider
These coins were scanned on a leaflet featuring printed text to make it easy to capture the edges.
Classic chair• Eva
An elegant upholstered chair. A fairly complicated object to scan — the polished black wood and the thin back and arms required a special approach.
