- This in-depth video demonstrates using a 3D scanner to 3D scan an entire vehicle to create the 2D flat patterns for vehicle wraps and paint protection films.
Traditionally this process is done by manually trimming each piece by hand or purchasing pre-cut templates. Both processes are time consuming and expensive.
By owning your 3D scanner and software you can create patterns for any vehicle and you only pay to do it once. You can build your own library of vehicles and patterns and use them for many years.
For this demonstration we chose the Creaform HandySCAN Black 3D scanner along with the VXModel and Exactflat software.

Amazing, thanks for sharing. Sometimes it can be really challenging to figure out how industry experts do things like this. I learned a lot. I am quite amazed by the flattening process. I thought it would be much more difficult to figure out the flat pattern due to all the stretching and special installation techniques used for paint protection film. I would absolutely love to have that scanner but its just out of budget for a DIYer.
Wow. I tried to do this before for a Bentley but I reverse engineered for surfaces. I used Rhino for surface creation and flattened on SW. Wish I've seen this before I've reverse engineered the full thing! The flattened pattern didn't come out good though.
Love your channel.
Yes there is definitely a process to go from scan data to cut pattern for sure. Scanning makes it possible to get a good pattern the first time.
the whole car, you have reverse engineered? omg
@@larryzhou It was the front fender and bumper. Didn't known that I can work on the mesh directly without the need of surface creation.
@@Ak47ram I spent several hours in Rhino ,then give up. Geomagic Design X might be the next good thing. sadly, I dont have budget to buy the VXmodel. it looks time saving!!
@@larryzhou I used Rhino in conjunction with Autodesk Shape Modeler plug-in for Rhino, it is much more convenient when creating high quality surfaces in Rhino.
How much does it cost this 3D scanner with softwares?
Does training is necessary?
Please contact us directly for any pricing.
Is the flatening process and export dxf also possible to do in geomagic Design x?
Hi Sebastian, No Design X doesn't have those capabilities. You can do all the mesh prep work but not the flattening.
It is not possible. To flatten from 3D to 2D you will need a product like ExactFlat (www.ExactFlat.com) shown in the video
Regarding mirroring, I guess the software use and depend on the fact that the, in this case the hood, has the same shape left and right, correct? (It compares and figures out where the center line is, the line you made is just a guide)
So if scan a concept clay model that is not mirrored in the clay, it might have different proposals left right, is there a way I could mirror in the software?
Or do I need to have centered hardpoints within a physical geometry for center plane reference for the software mirroring to work?
Good question. As long as you 3D scan enough data past (about 2 feet or 1/2 a meter) the theoretical mirror plane the software will properly determine where it is. In the case of a clay model where there could be slight differences from side tide its best to scan the whole object and then let the software find the mirror plane. If need be you can make slight adjustments to the plane before doing the actual mirroring of the data.
@@EMS3D thank you very much.
Which scanner would you recommend for this scenario:
full size clay model motorcycle, medium knowledge of reverse engineering / prefer if there is appropriate software included, good but not fantastic pc (i7 7gen) , scanning of mechanical details will occur, budget around 10000usd, used is ok.
The Peel 2 would fit your budget. Contact us at 877-845-2700 for more details.
Are you creating a solid surface at all?
No we are not creating any surfaces or solids. The cleaned up mesh goes directly into ExactFlat.
Do you have a similar workflow for Solidworks you can show? I am using Quicksurface with Solidworks Professional but am getting stuck on the flattening of 3D surfaces in my process. We are doing flooring for vehicles!
Hey Kyle, You will need a 3rd party flattening software product like ExactFlat.
@@EMS3D Thanks so much!
was this all done in rino I didn't see any changes when you opened exactflat.
Hey James, all the mesh editing was done in VX Elements and flattening is done in Exact Flat running inside Rhino.
since this is 4 years old would you still use this method today?@@EMS3D

it bothers me the center line was eyeballed 😅
I probably should have explained that better. The initial plane you draw is just for the software to have a starting point. It actually looks at the scan data and finds the true mirror plane and then mirrors the data over that new plane.
@@EMS3Dah cool!
