Re: [Emc-users] 3D Digitizer

[<Ja...@co...>]

I did see a project some Shopbot guys did,

they scanned ones side of a 3D object, then mounted a 'base' and
milled the inverse of the object into the base,
so they could place the object back into the milled out 'base' and
digitize the back of it.

Then they took a block of wood and milled the 'front' of the object,
put it back into the base made in the previous
step and then they could mill the back of the object.

This way they got a 'solid 3D object' milled 'all the way around'.

If that didn't make sense, either email me directly or forget it, it
might not be worth the effort except for an
intellectual exercise.

I would think you could use a similar technique to mill the side to
give access for undercuts as well.
