3D Scanner
Taking measurements for prosthetics can be a long and tedious process. In order to improve both the overall experience and the data collected, we decided to come up with a better solution.
Concept
Using a system of cameras, we can provide a 360 view of the subject. This will create a 3D model that can be used to make a perfect prosthetic fit. We hope this will help us in the future and cut down time on the initial measuring process.
Assembly
The scanner will be made up of a system of 3D printed rings that can be adjusted to create the easiest scanning scenario. The two rings both provide a 360 view containing 16 cameras on each ring. Each ring is then connected to a series of Raspberry Pi zeros along with a Raspberry Pi 3.
Range of Motion
The two camera rings sit on a system of rails that allow for easy adjustment. Sliding up and down, the scanner can be centered around an object despite a variation of height. Sliding forward and back provides the scanning motion for creating a series of images around the object.
Cameras
By creating a ring of cameras, we can collect a series of images that can be stitched together and create a 3D model. Each ring contains 16 cameras that will provide a 360 view of the object being scanned.
