When someone asks me why my car is dirty, I tell them it's because I'm going to 3D scan it. It's not true, but it's more interesting than just answering that I'm lazy.
I’ve also had really great success with a DSLR and photogrammetry software (I used Agisoft Metashape). Surprisingly impressive and definitely usable scans. The only downside is that you have to set the scale of the model yourself.
With the phone cameras nowadays not even a dslr is needed, i got seriously sharp details with a xiaomi note 10 pro and even burst mode, though my pc is underpowered so have to use the pictures in sections Edit: Metashape has a function to use printed scales set beside the model and can scale it automatically
@@RonaldFinger even has a camera calibration function, haven't figured that one out yet, though you can get your camera details calibrated with opencv and enter them in metashape
I had some fun with 123D Catch, which was free-to-use from Autodesk. Unfortunately, they pulled the plug on that after a short while. Does anyone have a suggestion for an open-source solution? Every once in a while I look around, but most require GPU support.
@@foogoid8682 Meshroom needs CUDA, there is an installer without, but renders it basically unusable. I have had awesome scans with VisualSFM, doesn't need Cuda, is a bit older, crashes if it runs out of memory, but has great results if you give it anything above average photos, i even get it to work with burst mode, so 70/100 shaky pics and it works
Commenting to please the algorithm overlords! On another note, I love what you’re doing with this channel. You’re mixing an engineering perspective with actual car building. Other youtubers seems to focus on just engineering or just bar building so it’s great to see you bring them together. I think there used to be a company that offered a $1000 handheld scanner that Had decent medium range results but they stopped offering it :/. Hopefully someone comes out on the market with a good middle range option. I scanned a tube frame at work for a formula SAE buggy and it has a 5 gigabyte file!!! Insane what those professional scanners can do.
Man I'm so glad I found this channel, as someone that has been tinkering with designing and fabricating parts for RC cars, and wanting to do some projects on real cars, this channel is a true gem! Love the humour and the somewhat more "nerdy" approach with CAD, LIDAR and DIY ECU's, awesome!
Yeah, you really should have more subscribers for the quality content you produce. The whole consumer grade scanner seems to be a long time coming. I've got the CAD, I've got the 3D printers but without having the scanner solution we're all on hold for those Star Trek replicators.
Great video! Mesh lab spiked my blood pressure a bit. Years ago I had to scan car panels and used mesh lab until I purchased rapidform(now owned my geomagic). Few notes. Weld inspection spray is great and easy to clean up. It has acetone in it as the carrier but flashes off before hitting the paint as long as you are a few inches away. Gives a really consistent texture on shiny black parts. Autodesk used to have a version of recap in their 123D line of free software that would take a lot of cell phone pics and give you a mesh. Fusion 360 just added paramesh to its tools so now you can add accurate mesh cylinders for bolt holes and even Ramesh and convert to quads. Cool project!
this video is gold. searched long time for a good scanning software that works with linux, the trick with baby powder and alcohol also worth a try (want to scan shiny objects, can't spray paint them because the customer wouldn't appreciate that much). knowing a website more with free models is always good. thanks for sharing
What's crazy is you can easily 3D scan stuff with Polycam these days, especially with a newer iPhone. Technological progression never ceases to amaze me.
Holy crap. This is the content I've looked for for about 2 years now. Developers, if you're paying attention, there is a HUUUUUUGE untapped market: take the face ID sensor APK from an iphone x or later, and develop and app to read that laser output AND simultaneously perform some cloud-based photogrammetry. So basically I'm saying take the direct shape output that the built-in APK for the sensor is putting out, and render that with a same-time-video capture photogrammetry (I mean the capture is done at same time, but both data sets get uploaded to the cloud for processing...I'm hoping that it would speed up processing time by 10x, for a goal of 4 minute render time, average.) The built in APK provides the curvature, the photogrammetry provides the relationships between features. Plus, if need be, sell the package with a physical, 15cm x 15cm *15cm x/y/z calibrated, orthogonal scale that users will put into the field of view. If one is visible in every frame of the video, the precision achievable would probably be insane.
Fantastic!! Please consider continuing to include tools/SW used as you are WAY ahead of most of us skillset wise and a guide to navigate the wilderness is appreciated/essential to enable forward momentum
I used a DSLR with an aperture around F8 and the pay as you go license of Reality Capture. If you have the patience of using a decent tripod you can get sharp images with low ISO and no flash. Reality capture also allows you to combine multiple scans with manually selected reference points which helps a lot around the mirrors and cowl areas. Putting 2x6 blocks of wood or concrete pavers under the tires to get the car up a few more inches can help with getting lower portions of the car.
I was design a resperator mask for the UK NHS in 21 and had a scan of a respirator test dummy we were to use - it was something straight out of John Carpenter's `The Thing' - a four-faced feind... the med tech guy got it wrong so in the end we just got them to drop a ruler from chin to nose tip and went from there. A lot of scanning is down to practice
That was a fascinating look at what ordinary creatures can presently do in this area. I honestly had no idea so this was highly informative, to say nothing of entertaining.
I am a creaform operator and you are right black and shiny is hard to scan. One thing I have figured out is adjusting the shutter speed and that helps some. “Apparently” the new c-track black can do both black and shiny no problem but it also uses blue laser then red like most scanners.
I made a life size bust in plaster (of myself) 21 years ago, in art school. This Christmas I used a convoluted workflow of Meshroom, Meshlab, and Meshmixer to Make salt and pepper shakers to give out to family for the holidays. The photogrammetry used about 140 iphone pics. Processing of the pics took about an hour on an i7 6850 with a 1080ti. I thought it was pretty amazing that I could do it all with stuff I had laying around. Photogrammetry software really wasn't helpful with majority thin wall features. The error correction just deleted much of the data from both size of the walls and left voids. What's amazing to me, if that the rectangular base of my bust printed with perfect 90 degree corners. BTW I'm very stoked to have found your channel! Liked and subscribed! I'm going to try out using my method on my GTA today. :)
TLDR: Short range scan solution Howdy, bit late here but I’ve used rec fusion with the 515 a bit and wanted to comment. Before a scan, under “sensor” way at the bottom there’s presets and depth cutoff. You can use “short range” to get the 25cm or better performance you want. You can also set a depth cutoff to avoid picking up the floor and other unwanted stuff. Also “auto ir exposure” can help with the outside light thing. Won’t fix it, but it can help if you have your garage door open or something.
This was the type of video I needed. Still not sure which type of tool would make the most sense for my use case (scanning the outside of an airplane to come up with fairing shapes I can CNC cut) but it gives me a useful real-world starting point to figure that out.
Try your tests again with 3D scanning Spray.. there are Aerosol Spray available that can coat your object in white for easier scanning and disappears after a certain amount of time back to original.
You can possibly also use the truedepth lidar (face id) on the iphone, it has a higher resolution, which is a bonus, although you have to point the screen away from you and I haven't found any software that works with it yet.
The more I see your 50 Jag, the more I like it!! Though I see it with some huge tires on the rear and set pretty low, I really like it and want to see much more!! I am hoping you will spend some pixels showing us your steering. I am into 62-65 Dodge B bodies and own a 65' Coronet 500, so yeah, I am kind of into Mopars, but I have no issue dropping a mopar engine into something that looks as cool as this!!!!
I noticed you overlooked the iPhone TOF sensor? I sell a mirror adapter that will make a far better scan than those POP or L151. A small adapter to use your forward facing TOF camera in the forward position. They look great.
You could use photogrammetry, does no't require any investment. And can be accurate in large and small scale. But takes a lot of effort tot get a good scan and a LOT of computing power. My heavyduty cad laptop was crunching the numbers for a model, using 50 photographs,isfor over An hour. Per attempt. It took as couple of tries To het it right....
Matt, I'm a big fan of meshroom. Photogrammetry has really come on. I have printed a ducati mudguard to make a plug for a carbon fibre mould. I export the mesh to blender to clean it up. Might be worth a video comparison? Just need 30-40 pictures.
Try a Microsoft kinect using reconstructme or k-scan 3D, k-scan lets you recapture parts of the model instead of just a one and done. It's much cheaper, a kinect can be found for 20 bucks and both software are open source or free
Very nice overview video - have been wondering best way to do this for my toy car as I've also been wanting to upgrade it to electric (and, having checked out some of your older videos, coincidentally currently powered by a bike engine)
I use a dslr to shoot a series of ref photo's orbiting the object I am photo-scanning, I then import the images into mushroom for processing into a 3d model which I then import into Blender, photo-scanning does have limitations with regards to light and specular surfaces, a lot of those issues can be avoided by preparing the surface prior to shooting...
thanks for this video is very interesting. I have been trying to scan a car with Kinect do you have any advise on this tool? i am using it with Grasshopper and export the point cloud back to meshlab , however i get lot of problems with the space depth , i think it prefer to be in a enclosed space, in fact the image resolution get lower towards the scan edges... have you done any test with this tool do you have any advise on t? many many thanks and keep posting , Chiara
4:40 Your laptop seems to be trying to scan with the built in IR scanners for Windows Hello. Maybe this was interfering with the Intel solution somehow?
There was a vid somewhere out here with a bunch of the modern architects, 3-D scanning all ins and outs of the S. Paul's Cathedral in London. Mind boggling, it took them a while...
What CAD software are you using for this project. I'm a design engineer and use Dassault System's CATIA at work. There are times when I wanted to have a CAD system on my laptop for playing with designs, but I'm too cheap to spend several thousand dollars for CAD software, and the cheap program I had once picked up at Office Max was underwhelming to the point of being useless. So, what do you use and how much did it cost?
Hey! Thanks for the video.....i need to scan a full sized aeroplane. Have you a refined idea of the best way to proceed today? I want to scan the existing fuselage and wings to check for any irregularities. Then use the model in Solidworks to plan new parts etc. Is the intel method best? Cheers! I dont want to close models. Just trace them in SW with proper geometry.
#Superfastmatt It was an interesting video you put together regarding different ways to get into 3D scans. I have a question, Can't we get the car 3D scanned at a commercial outlet that has access to the larger 3D scanners? Will that be cost-effective or will it be as expensive as getting hold of the expensive 3D scanners that were shown at the beginning of the video. Thanks.
It's possible depending on where you live. But if you're like me and have it in many pieces in the garage, you'd need someone to come to you. And then if you change things and need a re-scan, you have to have them come out again. Could add up fast.
Hi Matt! First of all, congratulations on the content, it's pure awesomeness (BTW, have subscribed and liked the video, to keep the algorithm happy). Could you possibly 3D scan the aero hubcap on your Model 3 wheel and make it available to us? It would be interesting to print and test it out on cars other than a Tesla. Thank you very much!
Which iPhone scanning software have you been playing with? I've tried a bunch of different ones, and there's a lot of difference between them in terms of detail in the scan, but none of them have done well at dealing with accelerometer drift...
@@SuperfastMatt Polycam is kind of annoying with the way it discards detail. 3D Scanner App is okay, but meshing doesn't go so well for me most of the time- lot of crashes. With Heges, did you try the front camera as well? It's hard to control since you can't see it, but it's supposed to have much better resolution. You might consider checking out Scaniverse. I've been playing with that this morning (it was a happy coincidence to see this video pop up in my notifications), and I have a nasty suspicion that I'm going to wind up buying it- I *think* it can give me output that'll provide a smoother workflow going into ReCap.
When doing bust scanning, what is the dimensional accuracy of the resultant mesh and STL? i.e. Can it scan ahead with sufficient accuracy so that if the head is 3D printed at full scale (without mucking around with adjusting the mesh in any way) that the head can be used as a mannequin form on which to build a foam rubber Halloween face mask that will actually fit? If it can do that, then it would eliminate the tedious and messy plaster casting step to get a head mannequin.
It's not clear if the L515 only works with some proprietary windows software or if it's useful on linux. What is its actual output format? does it output a point cloud directyl or does it need a lot of remote processing to do the scan registration? Presumably it could be plugged together with the every-increasing pile of LIDAR-related software?
Thank you so much, ive been looking to get a scanner to scan my 2019 kona ultimate, as i want to try to put a rocket bunny style wide body kit on it. but nobody seems to work on these cars and i cant find a scan anywhere, if you have any suggestions on where to go from after getting your car scanned im all eyes :)
Can we use this in the automotive industry to surpass scan codes and going to a mechanic shop? You know what I mean. We can scan our car/truck and it shows us any issues within electrical and mechanical components within the vehicle?
i would also have given photogrammetry a bash. i have had some good results with it though it will take the longest to stich and process etc. but the resulting point clouds are great. you can also use Reality Capture its on the steam gaming platform or of there website. but there are other programs out there. some paid some free. some trial etc. worth looking into. i use projected light scanners and photogrammetry all good fun.
Which 3D scanner is recommended for scanning the full body of a person? I would be scanning ballet dancers so I would expect them to hold a pose for 1 minute at most. Many of the dancers I know have black hair also. Thanks!
OK, scanning for dummies here...When you use lidar you are making a mesh. But how (or can you) turn that mesh into an actual CAD file? Are there converters available?
Gunny I commented on one of you uploads a few ago in this series asking what scanner you use. If I would have just waited I would have found out! #YourPsychic

Can the software output pointclouds without closing them? Then you can gather the clouds into meshlab instead of the meshes that need deleting the extra stuff

Great instructional. Come on, algorithm. Get his vids out there.
Matt, on a English car program called Car SOS a spray of some kind was used to enhance a 3D hand held scanners details.
I have an Einscan Pro+. It's pretty good. I use spray shampoo as a scanning powder, combined with the reflective dots that come with the scanner.
I was considering that one, but couldn't justify the cost for what I do. Maybe if I do more contract engineering jobs in the future...

#Superfastmatt It was an interesting video you put together regarding different ways to get into 3D scans. I have a question, Can't we get the car 3D scanned at a commercial outlet that has access to the larger 3D scanners? Will that be cost-effective or will it be as expensive as getting hold of the expensive 3D scanners that were shown at the beginning of the video. Thanks.
It's possible depending on where you live. But if you're like me and have it in many pieces in the garage, you'd need someone to come to you. And then if you change things and need a re-scan, you have to have them come out again. Could add up fast.
Toys...... life is great. Thanks for wetting the scanning whistle. 👍👍😎👍👍
It'd be nice if there was a rental option for higher end scanners.
There are rental options depending on where you live. Some places send a guy to your place to do the scanning.
Super cool video, I’ve always thought 3d scanning was neat.
Hi Matt! First of all, congratulations on the content, it's pure awesomeness (BTW, have subscribed and liked the video, to keep the algorithm happy). Could you possibly 3D scan the aero hubcap on your Model 3 wheel and make it available to us? It would be interesting to print and test it out on cars other than a Tesla. Thank you very much!
Which iPhone scanning software have you been playing with? I've tried a bunch of different ones, and there's a lot of difference between them in terms of detail in the scan, but none of them have done well at dealing with accelerometer drift...
Heges, Polycam, 3D scanner app. Nothing seemed to be able to get accurate detail.
@@SuperfastMatt Polycam is kind of annoying with the way it discards detail. 3D Scanner App is okay, but meshing doesn't go so well for me most of the time- lot of crashes.
With Heges, did you try the front camera as well? It's hard to control since you can't see it, but it's supposed to have much better resolution.
You might consider checking out Scaniverse. I've been playing with that this morning (it was a happy coincidence to see this video pop up in my notifications), and I have a nasty suspicion that I'm going to wind up buying it- I *think* it can give me output that'll provide a smoother workflow going into ReCap.
When doing bust scanning, what is the dimensional accuracy of the resultant mesh and STL? i.e. Can it scan ahead with sufficient accuracy so that if the head is 3D printed at full scale (without mucking around with adjusting the mesh in any way) that the head can be used as a mannequin form on which to build a foam rubber Halloween face mask that will actually fit? If it can do that, then it would eliminate the tedious and messy plaster casting step to get a head mannequin.
It's not clear if the L515 only works with some proprietary windows software or if it's useful on linux. What is its actual output format? does it output a point cloud directyl or does it need a lot of remote processing to do the scan registration? Presumably it could be plugged together with the every-increasing pile of LIDAR-related software?
Lemme get that superfastmatt bust to mount on my garage ceiling so I always have someone smarter than me looking over my build
Thank you so much, ive been looking to get a scanner to scan my 2019 kona ultimate, as i want to try to put a rocket bunny style wide body kit on it. but nobody seems to work on these cars and i cant find a scan anywhere, if you have any suggestions on where to go from after getting your car scanned im all eyes :)
i had sucess with kinect v2
they can be bought for real cheap but you need to mod it or buy a adapter
patiently waiting for 3d scanners to go the way of 3d printers. Super reliable and cheap from China after 10 years.
Can we use this in the automotive industry to surpass scan codes and going to a mechanic shop? You know what I mean. We can scan our car/truck and it shows us any issues within electrical and mechanical components within the vehicle?
i would also have given photogrammetry a bash. i have had some good results with it though it will take the longest to stich and process etc. but the resulting point clouds are great. you can also use Reality Capture its on the steam gaming platform or of there website. but there are other programs out there. some paid some free. some trial etc. worth looking into. i use projected light scanners and photogrammetry all good fun.
What app do you use for the iphone 12 scan?
Which 3D scanner is recommended for scanning the full body of a person? I would be scanning ballet dancers so I would expect them to hold a pose for 1 minute at most. Many of the dancers I know have black hair also. Thanks!
Thank you for interesting videos. I am wondering, may be you could share tesla's motor 3D scan?

Had the same Jag back before tesla. Wish I waited!!! Ur cars gonna be bad ass and beyond. If ur ever in santa rosa with it stop by Groat instruments.
Dry shampoo works very well as a spray and it's super cheap at the dollar store.
What app did you use to scan with on the iPhone? Was that just a video feature that it has?
Another interesting video. Thx.
OK, scanning for dummies here...When you use lidar you are making a mesh. But how (or can you) turn that mesh into an actual CAD file? Are there converters available?
Have you tried Photogrammetry, maybe just for modeling sake's as I don't know how mm accurate it would be!?
6:21 I was expecting a charging dongle :)
Gunny I commented on one of you uploads a few ago in this series asking what scanner you use. If I would have just waited I would have found out! #YourPsychic
thanks mite be helpful for adding a model s 100p motor rear core / or borg warner HVH-255-115-wc to the back of my c7 transmission ( same ish as the T56 / TR6060 varying popular with the hot rod / muscle car/drift/race car/4X4 community's ) 31spline out put shaft in a different rear adapter housing ( instead of the c7 pumpkin 🎃 ) to hybridise it so i can keep my 1968 440 RB / hemi stroker ( to keep my parts and fuel ⛽️ bills down and keep sub 5 mile cold starts to a minimum ) and the stock 8-3/4 drive shaft ( modified for the chevy fixed 2016 Chevy Camaro yoke flange stock mopar flange in the back telescoping shaft for bumps ) and live axle ps. had some /lot of Chevy guys and ford drool 🤤 over the idea aka i want it to at car meets
iv got some of it done but its still not running right thanks for the up rite and bearing tip probably going to copy some of it as i have some of the same problems as you with wheel choices/ fitment looks like their good brakes just having a tuff time with tires and rims
Can the software output pointclouds without closing them? Then you can gather the clouds into meshlab instead of the meshes that need deleting the extra stuff
Intel L515 cost 700€ in Europe
