Headscanning at 3d printer night - any interest

[Garry Stone]

Thinking of bringing the kinect sensor Monday night for some headscanning if anyone is interested?

[Stuart Young]

As per my announce email, definitely some from me! Hopefully others will speak up.

I'll put up my hand. Interested to see how 3D scanning/ripping works.

Sounds interesting I will too.

Headscanning went well last night, I now have files for 10 heads from the night.

Everyone except Damien has a copy of their own raw scan and quickly mended mesh, and Damien can grab his in a fortnight.

 

The process got quicker as the night progressed and I learned a lot.

 

Got me thinking a bit about how to use this to promote the space.

 

USB sticks - buy some cheap usb sticks, preprint some bodies to cover the body of the usb stick, A small production line at a craft / technology fair could quickly scan a head, process the mesh, print a small head with a cavity for the usb cover, glue the cover into the head and the person has a usb stick with their head model on it, both figuratively and literally.  Small charge on top of the usb stick to cover plastic used in the process, people get to see the whole process of creating the model and printing it, a head of usb stick size should be printable in 20 minutes to half an hour, 3 printers 1 scanner, 2 mesh fixers and the whole process could be streamlined to take 30-40 minutes start to finish.

 

Similar could be done with pencil toppers, pez dispensers, etc as long as the printed head remains small the detail in the model doesnt need to be perfect and the prints will be quick.

 

worth a thought for future expos anyways

thanks for doing that Garry, it was awesome.  Im going to have to get myself a Kinect now...

You could take scans of all the members and create a wall of faces like this as a means both to ward of evil spirits and look mega creepy and therefore cool:

Thankyou Gary!
It was great to see how well the Kinect sensor scanned a person and
stitched together segments of a mesh. With your technique, it takes
minimal effort (maybe 2-3 attempts?), and makes a pretty flawless
scan. Also, interesting to see how glitches/voids were automatically
fixed. All-up, it's quite a straightforward workflow. Very impressive.

Cheers,
Damien

Garry, Thank you very much for showing this new gig.  Very impressed.  As my thoughts span out...

1.  Customised USB stick heads were something that I was dreaming of.  There was an art post where they make some molding and stick on top of USB sticks.  (link to a video)
2.  Can turn it into key chain.  Specially we can used unscanned top portion of the head to attach a key ring. Also an customised USB can be a key ring as well
3.  If possible we can stick two half heads one behind the other and print it as a lockable magnet etc - this can be partners or can be mom and dad or  brothers etc.  A very nice gift idea.

4.  Not sure how small we can shrink the size, but a good idea could be finger caps that have faces

5.  ofcourse you cant rule out portraits as moments - especially for blind people to feel their kins if they cant meet them in person

As a thought of easing the spin motion, we can use some rotating tables (I saw a wooden fruit stand in Ikea for approx $15 - not sure if it takes the load but should be easy to make one) where the person can stand still and someone can rotate him slowly from below. 

This idea will work in corporate functions, child activities/events etc

Once again thanks for showing all of us a new thing.

Has anyone tried / compared the results with photos using 123D Catch to process? Looks good on my screen, but I have not looked in details at the models it produces yet.

I just wanted to say this thread is awesome! I'd love to come down one day and see the process. Could you do whole bodies like Keith's post above?

The only thing I can think of that would make this experience any better:

Heavey duty lazy susan for full body scanning.

http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:28454

And the Kinect for Windows that "apparently" is slightly higher res.

Im going to have to get myself one now for Christmas :-)

One guide I read recommended moving the camera rather than the object,
which might also be an easy rig to build.

My understanding is that the only difference is a firmware change that
makes it work better when working in the 'near' range below 50 cm.
Otherwise, it's the same hardware.

mount the Kinect on a model trainset perhaps?   I could see that being a big hit down at the hacker space. :-p

Somewhere in the garage in Melbourne I have the head-holder device
that was built so my grand-father's X-ray machine could take Panorex
radiographs. The device has a double-acting lead screw, half right-hand
half left-hand thread, with two T pieces mounted on the screws and
an ear-plug on each, so that when you turn the handle, the ear-plugs
approach each other and lock the patient's head in place. Really a
Frankenstein's torture device, heavy duty and I don't think anyone
should consider using it! Anyhow, with the patient's head locked, the
X-ray and the film were rotated to take a 180-degree shot of the teeth.

Of perhaps more interest is that I have the complete digital files of a
CT scan of my head. They work with a freeware viewer, and have a
documented file format. If anyone was thinking of making a human skull
or any realistic model of any part of a human head, I can make the files
available. Turning the stack of 2-D raster images into a 3D model is an
exercise for the reader! I think the slices are 3mm apart, so the overall
dataset is about 350MB.

Just some thoughts. I'll be in Melbourne this weekend, so I can burn you
a CD of the data if you want to peruse it, otherwise I can mail it later.

Gary,

Could you share with us the software you used.

Err.. Clifford that is one of the things I picked up when you were clearing out your garage, so I have it. The dual-screw part anyway

Hardware and software used

Xbox kinnect sensor
Acer laptop nvidia gforce 640m (important for realtime scan)

Open ni Drivers for kinnect
Reconstructme free version, available reconstructme.net has installation guides for i think three different Sensers, and a hardware compatability matrix for graphics chipsets
Netfabb basic (free) to slice the initial Generated modls, and patch the holes
Meshlab, which We didnt end up using, but can filter And clean The model

Oh, right, good. I hope it gets some use. Please don't crush anyones ear-holes :).

I haven't heard from *anyone* about any of that stuff. The deal was that
you'd tell me what you did with it, remember?

Clifford Heath.

[Stuart Young]

The IC's are at the space for use by all members.

I've yet to really use any of them due to the sudden influx of lots more stuff (partners grandfather passed away, and we suddenly have even more stuff - he was originally a tool-maker).

No idea what others have done with their stuff. Luke? Rob?
