Any and all of it in detail would be awesome.
What was the magic wand you used at the start? Where to buy, how much etc. I can handle the CAD part of it, designing brake brackets and other features, but the easiest thing for me to do is simply have bosses floating in 3D with no visualisation of the casting
@@rossmarzano it’s a Creality CR-scan Lizard 3D scanner. Available everywhere it think for about 4-500dollars? It’s a great tool for the money, but the consumer market is growing for these and RevoPoint do a load of different ones with different specialisations, but all of these are consumer end and imperfect. The proper scanners are Pro items and cost thousands.
You’re dead right, all I really need for this part are the interaction points (bolt holes/machines faces) but for reasons that’ll be obvious in the next videos I wanted a full model of this part….
What?? All of them???😂
@@rossmarzano revopoint pop 3d is currently on sale for $399 on their website.
can you make a tutorial on how to tell your wife that you bought another 80's French s**t box for a racecar project ?
It starts with flowers….. 😂😂😂
Honey, we need this car for the purpose of teaching us all defensive driving.
It's important that you follow my lead and I will make sure that I won't use the car for worldly pleasures.
Need one too
This is so on point
Give the flowers and the shiny gold thing with the shiny stones to her while wearing Mens lingerie.
Love your straight-to-the-point no BS approach to TH-cam. Most underrated channel in my feed 🙂
Mate you're a LEGEND! I've struggled with meshes for a few years in fusion and discovered the mesh section sketch, but what I was missing was the fit curves to mesh section function.
Thank you so much for this. You've utterly transformed my workflow
Nice!! I had a similar break though when I found the function! Happy modelling!
This is incredibly detailed and helpful. Thanks for all the helpful information!
Thank you sooo much for what you do for the car community!! Been following you since the channel started you really make great content man! :)
Your tutorial is very good. I had been looking for content like this for some time. I was lucky to find your channel. Thank you very much for sharing and good luck on your channel!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I have been trying to blindly figure out a (free or inexpensive) workflow that accomplishes what you’ve shown here with not much luck. This will enable me to tackle some more difficult projects in the future, for sure.
Thank you for watching, comments like this keep me making the videos! Best of luck with your projects!
Love all the videos! Thanks for walking us through fusion 360 and teaching us something new every time.
No problems Peter, I enjoy making them!
Thank you for your candor and references on where you learned. I love creators not afraid to point others to other channels in the name of knowledge. Great video btw. I am try to decide what CAD to learn and fusion 360 is looking better and better.
The first like and subscribe I dropped in a long time. I appreciate how you care about your viewers' time (and attention), and "fast forward" over the repetitive parts yet still provide a reasonably detailed summary.
Thanks Peter, in retrospect the video is probably still 10mins too long but I always hear that CAD how tos go through things too fast… hopefully this was nearer the right balance
very helpful tutorial, the complexity of that part was a bit intimidating but the way that you broke it down made sense to my 2D AutoCAD brain
Great hands-on and full of context why and how showcase of how to remodel the 3d scanned part! Thank you :)
I just came across your video today. AMAZING mate!!!! You were so clear and methodical about your approach to build the parametric part from a mesh (scanned) part. An approach that I have used in the past with great success. I'm glad that you put this video on TH-cam for everyone to see how easy it is to do in Fusion 360. I cannot stress how great this tool is, and easy to learn.
You did an amazing job with this video mate! Cheers to you.
Cheers bud, that’s the feedback I like! I was worried it was over long and whilst it is probably, I think most CAD videos can be too fast so the step by step process, slow enough to follow can really help I think…
Wow, this is absolutely marvelous, congratulations!
What a cool video packed with knowledge and tips! Thanks so much for posting this and all the advice and leads to more videos. Very cool stuff, subscribed and looking forward to more content. Thanks!
This was great, super useful technique and nicely explained.
Really nice to see your workflow! Thanks for this!
Cheers bud, it may not be the best one out there but it works very well for me 👍
This was absolutely amazing to watch! Makes me want to explore fusion 360 more!!! Very inspiring!
Get stuck in! It’s freeeeeeeee, so nothing to lose!
You can export the features generated in GOM as a separate IGS file with the same alignment as the exported mesh. That way, you can use the averaging functions to make planes and feature references in GOM and use them in fusion.
I’m gonna be using that for future videos, it’s dead useful. When I did that for this, I ended up with loads of faces, that all should’ve been parallel and have been machined in one op, in XZ for example, which then weren’t quite parallel as they were all fit to the inconsistencies of the scanned mesh.
I have been looking in GOM to use fitted planes for an offset plane from the global Co-ord system but no luck yet!
@@MakingforMotorsport Yeah, it's messy quick. You might want to give it another go though. If you have a best plane of reference, make a line normal to the plane and constrain any offset planes as normal to that line. I use that a lot for things like bores normal to a face.
@@kylelammie4621 are you doing all that in GOM?? With normal line and constraining? Looks like I need to practise!
you did a great job of simply explaining what you were doing. thanks
You are doing amazing work !
I simply love fusion360. Its so incredibly intuitive and clean. My dream is to one day get myself a 3D scanner to scan pipework-projects in industrial environments. I've been using tape-measures, levels, plumbobs and lasers for years and in my opinion that's really old fashioned, slow, tedious and imprecise. Loads of measuring errors and you need to go take new measures over and over and still you may miss some minor details, like weird angles or other small deviation. Scanning the whole thing would make it Super Simple to take all the measurements and design your own pipe right in the middle of the old mess you find in old factories, that I usually work in.
You are amazing, literally exactly the same application im needing this for.
That mesh section tool is brilliant, thanks!
That and fitting curves to section sketch are the keys to the kingdom… makes me wonder why it took me 28mins to explain it! 😂
This content is chronically underrated. Thank you
Cheers bud… glad you like it!
Awesome content! Will keep following more videos!
Flipping amazing! Please please please keep on it and keep making brilliant content. Love all your 3D design/ model/ print stuff literally made me subscribe
Cheers dude, glad you are enjoying it… had to have a bit of a break this summer but I am back on it now!
Winters coming up so time to get comfy in doors!
Hey... that is a really good video! Thanks for your work. Good Job!👍
We run a budget endurance race car in the US and this channel is excellent! Thank you!
Oh yeah, love me abit of 24hrs of LeMons! Glad your enjoying it!
Nice one! Here from TH-cam recommended. I work with Solidworks on a daily basis and have used Geomagic for doing stuff like this. Didn't know Fusion had this function to fit sketches on a mesh section. Thats amazing and a gamechanger for people that don't have the money for software like Geomagic, etc. Crazy what you can do with free soft nowadays.
I have only briefly played with Geomagic, not enough to get up the learning curve but I know it’s the standard for this kind of stuff…
If F360 had fit planes and bores then I’d be done!!!
This is some great content. Keep it up.
I have been picking my way through the process of converting scanned meshes into parametric models over the last few weeks. Many thanks for sharing as there are some new methods here that I haven't seen before, just setting up that first axis is way better than my current 'guestimate' method!
That method works well because it’s already aligned well to the coordinate system…. without that you’re chasing you tail….
There’s plenty I still didn’t cover like “plane from 3points”…
Well done mate, great video+explanation+presentation! Thank you for sharing - NEW SUB 🙏🏻
This is absolutely brilliant and has given me skills that will be really useful. Thanks a lot👍
Thanks for the informative Video!
Thank you so much for the shout out!!! Love your content and always happy to help. If you ever need anything please let me know!
What a great video, top shelf!
Thought I was watching carwow for a moment. Your tone, pitch and delivery is just like the other fellas.
This video is amazing. Helped immensely with reverse engineering from 3D scans.
No problem!
Thanks in a million! Very well explained. This is the nth time that I am watching this again. Great content. Awesome. I couldn't find this explanation--simply put anywhere else. “Great teachers are hard to find”. Grade: A++ 💥
Cheers bud, that’s great feedback to get! Glad it’s made the difference for you
Changed my world! So glad I stumbled upon this video! Haha, have always overlooked the create mesh section sketch button
Glad to be of service! 👍
This is perfect! Thanks
Yeah we’re gonna need more of this! Ace keep it up
Cheers bud, got a few more of these type of stuff planned…
@@MakingforMotorsport looking forward to it mate !
Greetings While still a student, I participated in a scientific conference, where my work was just about 3D models and car parts.I wrote a paper on how you can use 3D models for teaching, designing and making models, now looking at such videos I just admire.
Not only is the technique impressive, but the teaching as well! Having a nice professor/instructor is so important for the development of the reverse engineering workflow
Cheers bud… I try to make it simple and step by step, but often that means really long videos…😂
This is an awesome video at just the right time where I was explaining to a client that 3D scanning isn't what the media portrays it as. They always leave out the last...80% of this video, and people expect that you just point a camera at a thing and poof, you've got a 3D model that's perfect to use in an engineering application.
Precisely! I’ll be honest, when I came into it I was surprised at the gap, and it is frustrating as most people on YT are professionals using pro-kit and software like DesignX.
The other bit everyone is bothered about is resolution. I am planning an engine swap this winter and I will fully model it beforehand and I intend to show people what they think is important, isn’t.
Should be fun! 👍
This video is brilliant!
Thank you for your very good oxford english. For us germans it is a benefit to listen to you.
Thank you, I’m glad you can understand me!!!
you're one talented guy!
Incredibly useful content. Keep it up.
Cheers buddy, if this is what I think it is this my first SuperTip! Big thanks!
Got my subscription. Saves me time searching for what I needed. Thank You for Sharing, never know who it helps.
Cheers bud, if I find it useful, I just put it out there!
Hell yeah, subscribed!
Love your channel, thanks for creating such great content!
My pleasure! Glad you found it useful!
The final product looks really excellent.
I did the same project over two years ago, For a MR2 to 4 piston skyline caliper conversion.
I used photogrammetry, Zbrush and Fusion360.
Taking all the measurements as datum points is the most important stage.
Id love to own a 3d scanner, but photogrammetry done right is crazy accurate.
I always look forward to your videos.
: )
Photogrammetry is very accurate and something I definitely want to have another go at, but I’m never gonna have the space for a full rig (from what I’ve seen)…. The good bit about the scanner is the flexibility…
What software do you use for photogrammetry?
@@MakingforMotorsport It's not about software you use for photogrammetry. It's about the hardware. Any NVidia GPU (10 series and above), plus a decent DSLR and Meshroom will get you insanely good results. Meshroom has a database of image sensor sizes for various DSLRs, and so helps correct distortion. The NVidia GPU lets you use CUDA cores to do the processing - so high resolution, clear images from a good DSLR and a powerful GPU is all you need. You can also do it with less powerful GPUs, but it's slower. You don't need space for "A full rig"...whatever that is. You just use a camera.
@@MakingforMotorsport Software is absolutely important! A lot of them use CUDA, so you'll need the NVidia GPUs as said above, but I've tried many options and currently the one outdoing everyone in both quality and performance is Reality Capture, recently bought out by Epic (but you don't need an Epic account to use it, you need a Reality Capture account).
As for a rig, all you need is a good camera (SLR outdoes cellphones by a wide margin), good lighting (soft, no black shadows), no surface reflections (just like the other scanners) and a good support for your model that doesn't get in the way.
The downside is you can't see how you're doing while you're taking pictures, so you might find something is too dark, reflects or you didn't take the pictures properly (out of focus, under/over exposed, etc) hours after you're done. If anything changed (you bumped on the support and it shifted slightly or the light moved), you'll have to take the entire photo series again.
Also, expect hours of processing. The results can be impressive though, and cheap.
So good! Many thanks.
As a Fusion 360 user and a hobby car enthusiast, thanks for introducing me to some new tools and techniques. My Sunbeam Tiger and Datsun 510 will appreciate some upgrades I can't begin to farm out.
That’s why I am here! Glad to hear it’s working for you!
Excellent stuff.
Great topic, thanks 👍
Thanks for this super tutorial!
Great straight forward video. Now it is time to model a rear tail wing for the Compact. Can’t wait.
They all go together! 👍
I was literally trying to figure out how to do this last night, then boom, this video gets uploaded this morning. Subscribed to follow for more 🤙
Plenty more coming… lots of 3D scanning, designing and modelling in coming months…. Thanks for the sub!
Thanks for sharing, you are the boss
Fantastic presentation! Looking forward to using these techniques. Thanks.... Mike
Thanks Mike 👍
Brilliant! And way faster than modelling it from scratch with taking measurements. This might take ages but compared to starting from scratch it's nothing.
I'm not into motorsports but this tutorial was very interesting and well done. I appreciate the time and extreme effort you took to make this vid. I'm subbing!
Not into motorsports??!??!!!! 😂😂😂
Well if you are into fabrication, electronics, CAD, 3D printing and scanning then we have plenty of middle ground! 👍
Looking forward to all the vids
Good video, worth noting that F360 mesh environment only graduated from a preview feature in July 2021 - if you tried anything in mesh environment prior to this with big scan data you probably hit the limit of what F360 could do before it ran out of memory even if you reduced your mesh to a tiny file. Lesson learnt and only after id coughed up a full year's subscription and had to wait 4 months for this feature to roll out. Do your homework people before purchasing something that others are raving about online. F360 is the jack of all trades and master of none.
this is good info and great timing as I'm working on making fog light bezels for my 22 wrx in order to jam some big old rally lights in there scanned it up with my xbox 360 kinect and am printing out the first test parts for fitment before really diving in deep
Nice!! I loved the original Impreza with the big spot lamps in the bumper! Nice work bud!
Really helpful. Thank you.
Hi , chap ! You're brillintly bloody insane pal ! Thousands cordal thanks & subscription ! Keep it up !
fantastic video, thank you very much
NIce! thanks for sharing.
fantastic! Thanks for showing this!
You’re welcome, hope it helped!
It's amazing how far scanning tech and meshing software has come. I saw a racing forum post long before the dawn of TH-cam using just a crude scan of points to copy a race car's geometry. Call it cheating but they won the racing event outright.
It can still be limited, some scanners struggle with daylight and others need a power socket, and up until the last two years it’s needed thousands of dollars to get hold of one.
But if you pick the right one and understand your usage case, it can be very effective!
I'm actually designing my own intake manifold now with injector bungs. I have a little experience with cad from college and little projects but I've forgot most of it. The revolve feature and especially the offset plane feature are game changes for me. I spent so much time with lines and angles to get things where I want them...
I also have a CR Scan Lizard. It's pretty amazing for the price. The key is to coat your scan surface to reduce reflectivity. I found that kids washable paint also works.
Kids washable paint? That’s a good idea, the hairspray can can thickness to a part, back to back testing of matting sprays is a video I am planning, I’ll have to add washable paint to the mix… do you have a brand as suggestion?
@@MakingforMotorsport I bought a small 10 pack sample of Crayola brand from the craft store. I experimented with brushing white onto an RC car body. The paint applies very thin and dries to a chalky finish. Very easy to wash off and doesn't smell badly. I saw that the same paint is available in gallon sizes on Amazon. Perhaps it could be spray on in addition to painted for something like the large surface of a car.
@@MakingforMotorsport I've been wanting to try washable spray chalk, since it has that heavy matte finish. If you get around to it, I'd love to hear how it turns out
@@keithfpv9451 There's something used to detect leaks on pneumatic joints. It's called D100, it sounds like just what you need.
We use the matte french chalk in a spray can when using the more industrial blue light scanners. Doesn't add much thickness and easily wipes off. 👍🏻
Excellent Tutorial, I enjoyed your technique to convert to a CAD Model.
Cheers buddy, thanks for watching!
Always pumped for a new vid from MFM. 😆
Always pumped to get one finished! 😂
no worries, quality work (even computer aided) takes time. 👍 first started using Autocad on DOS release 10 (puck and tablet) circa 1988, so off and on with the various releases for the last 34 years and TIME has remained the one constant as each iteration added more features and got more powerful.
Very helpful..thanks a lot.
Worked , thanks a lot!
That's actually very useful. This is exactly what I want to do.
Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for making my life much easier. I did learn a lot today from you :)
No problem, thanks for watching!
Ima download it thanks for sharing!!
Have fun… as I said.. practise practise practise… (and watch it through every time 😂)
I need to see the metal model in real life! This video is gold! Would love to see the new model in situ. Thanks
This was superb, thanks!
You’re welcome, hope it was useful!
This’s amazing!
Creative video, thanks for sharing :)
This is the future I'm excited for!
The future is now!!! 👌
Your very smart
Thank you for sharing
😁
Thank you, although, like I said, I just copied the really clever guys…
Thank you for this information
No problem, hope it helped!
I done something similar. However I used Inventor. I defined only, the bearing surfaces then used shape generator for the rest. A little bit of FEA to wrap it up. It looked very organic.
That scan fidelity is impressive !
It’s definitely usable and pretty accurate, I normally get within 0.5mm or less. There better out there but for the money I totally rate it as a tool.
thanks for the vid dood, subscribed.
Cheers bud, next one is in the works!
Thanks, another approach to try. Previously I have imported the mesh & immediately converted to a solid to use the tools for solids, so that’s something else to try.
That works well on .stl that have been created by CAD in the first place, like you get on Thingiverse etc… but 3D scanned things just don’t work well with it…
@@MakingforMotorsport ah, got it. A super cheap 3D scanner would be handy for the block / engine bay, to help speed up designing parts that fit…. But mostly they are too expensive for me to justify for the odd hobby piece.
@@bwm999 I know how you feel, if it weren’t for the channel I’d be in the same boat!
this is great !!
Cheers bud!
The moment I heard the word Design, I subscribed❤
Thanks for the sub, make sure you check out @Learn everything about Design , they know there stuff!
