Title: Monster Track Tank 3D mold laser scan underway Post by: CannedIce on July 20, 2012, 03:36:20 PM Chris's laser scanning workbench for MTT43 mold scanning! Using a 3D scanner Jay Leno also uses ! http://www.nextengine.com/ (http://www.nextengine.com/)
In the picture he is testing it with a flywheel (https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/337179_3891211810612_1265689772_o.jpg) Title: Re: Monster Track Tank 3D mold laser scan underway Post by: CannedIce on July 27, 2012, 03:47:52 PM After days of testing the new software and tool, Chris is finally ready to scan and 3D model the MTT43 mold for tooling. A new top of the Monster tank will soon be born!

Now I'll use some organic modelling tools to tweak on it and make the top a little taller so we can eek out some more capacity.

Title: Re: Monster Track Tank 3D mold laser scan underway Post by: krista on August 30, 2012, 11:19:22 AM OK, we're back to work. After spending all day yesterday uninstalling, downgrading versions, and all that... today I reinstall to the latest version of the CAD software and everything is working again. [bang]

I'm a practicing product design engineer and do lots of Solidworks surfacing. (I work at www.whipsaw.com (http://)) If you need a hand with this project I'm sure we could work out a deal. PM me if you're interested! [thumbsup] -Mickey |
