First step is here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_scanner Then 1:Have you ever done any graphics 2G programming 2:Have you done any graphics 3D programming with C++ or Java 3:Have studied or read anything from the Red book or the Blue book associated with OpenGL if not start with the above and work your way through all of this because this is what 3 D scanning is based on All Maths and Matrices ,Unity matrices , Identity Matrices, X, Y , Z planes Imaginary numbers both complex and real with floating point notation and J notation 4: http://www.opengl.org/documentation/books/ Then move onto sensors, lasers , stepper motors, H bridge drivers and other methods for detecting 3 D planes and maneuvering through 3 d objects to plot co ordinates or send co ordinates for 3D translation Very complex subject Not easy I warn you now Personally Id start with 2D Fundamentals first http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/2d/basic2d/ Then moving onto wire frames then progress you hardware plus software knowledge from this point See below http://www.holmes3d.net/graphics/roffview/ Hardcore engineering this lots of time plenty of patience both with yourself and what you intend to do Expect to be at this day in day out for at least 6 to 12 months to even begin to master some of this never mind understand all of this combined took me the best part of well over 3 years to get to grips with even part of this on a self study, no tuition basis I still find this very difficult Its all math’s Arrays and push ,pop , stack architecture and matrices manipulation that’s without sending X,y , z data to your chips or receiving form chips to plot 3D graphs etc So you have a lot to cover
Make sure you do the maths because you wont master any of this at all without it
Recommended Maths plus the Red book , Blue Book Open GL http://www.purplemath.com/modules/matrices.htm Plotting3D graphs ( Don’t ask me how the hell you are going to do this either the amount of money this software costs is incredible if you have any brilliant ideas apart from write your own please let me know as well will you ?? How anyone is supposed to do all this or afford this Il never bloody know but obviously the genius in charge of the country thinks otherwise ( Our dearly beloved , grrrr , grrr , grit your teeth story who are seated on the behinds in the right honorable preposterous house of lords ) thinking of course that money cometh from the heavens above
I could also do with getting my hands on this as well Just Matlab would be a real result here )
Also stacks and stack of two dimensioned 3 dimensioned arrays A must plus collections Plus spread sheets or even link up to databases using ADO.net or similar ( Might be the answer to 3 d plotting of graphs You could even use Visual basic here Ver 6 or dot net or for that matter Csharp or java using graphics 2G object casting so its advisable to learn graphics 2 g to plot graphs etc , Language up to you of course )
On the mechanical side of this learn this too as part of your project or read up on this to start your decision making as to how and what design material needed although it would be an added advantage if you’ve done some technical drawing even 3D cad would be a huge advantage plus of course mechanical engineering Oh wow !! That too , eeer Yes lathe turning which again covers a multitude of maginificent set of skills as well
Hmmmmm Just what i thought too ( I cant wait to see how they do this as well seeing as they are so brilliant
Ought to be interesting I suppose correct turning speeds etc etc Metal ( type of metal ) Cutting tools dah dah dah dit dit dit dash dash dash ho ho ho and they uhm havent got any fitter and tuners lefty Oooh thats good isnt it seeing as all our manufacturing is now done abroad Clever Trever , doo deee dum b dumbi de dee They have never used a set of calipers too Now they ve got to ues a micromoter tool never used in school taroo
And they lokking like winnie the pooh dear oh dear what are they going to doo
Why did I know that wsa going to happen too because they rushed into the big EU
Disadvantage no real online tutorials regards this Here is a site for you to download a free version its Ok for some technical drawing though better than none at all Also by far the simplest to start with
No Dont ask me Im just reading though some of this tonight In the house of Horror's
Additionally to all of this and I dare say I've possibly covered maybe 30% to 60% of this There are still development kits Ic's, Interfaces, bus architectures, you still need to cover and allot lot more possibly even networking protocols nevermind translation pixels to cms to inches etc etc etc
Thats about all I can think of so far you will only find out by going through some of this and then i dare say have another 1000 questions to search on with various matarial to extract and so on A mammoth task to say the least
Anyway hope that helps and gets you geared up in the right direction interesting topic this Isnt it just Yaaaaas , hmmm Big smilies, " tut tut tut " , hmmmm , I know lets all be friendies Right !! Yeah !! Init maan !
Vrrrrrrp , Vrrrrrrrp Im sure I heard a noise in the background not Cameron was it with one up is his spout
Hey Guys my name is Mark.Well i think that 3D scanner is a system that examines the atmosphere to gather information on its form and possibly its overall look.The gathered information can be used to create digital, three perspective designs.Thanks!!

A 3D scanner is a device or system that captures the shape and appearance of objects or environments to create digital three-dimensional models. Building or using a 3D scanner involves understanding fundamental graphics programming concepts, particularly 2D and 3D graphics using languages like C++ or Java, and mastering OpenGL principles including matrix mathematics (identity, unity, and transformation matrices) and coordinate systems (X, Y, Z planes). Essential preparatory knowledge includes studying resources such as the OpenGL Red and Blue books and foundational 2D graphics tutorials. The hardware aspect requires familiarity with sensors, lasers, stepper motors, and motor drivers (e.g., H-bridge drivers) to detect 3D planes and maneuver scanning components for coordinate plotting and 3D translation. Mathematical proficiency, especially in matrices and 3D graph plotting, is critical for processing and interpreting scanned data. Software tools like MATLAB can assist in data handling and visualization. The complexity and cost of 3D scanning software and hardware are significant considerations. Overall, the process demands a strong interdisciplinary approach combining software programming, mathematics, and hardware engineering. Summary generated by the language model.
