How to Copy (almost) Any Object

Once you've finished watching this video make sure to watch the updated video published in 2021: • How to Copy (almost) A...
Copying physical items is not as easy as copying a piece of paper, you can't exactly stick it into a copy machine. However, surprisingly technology for how to copy physical objects have come a long way in recent years, and have also become available for those without deep pockets. In this video we're copying a couple of different objects, using different methods, with different rates of success! Enjoy!
This video is light on workshop and hands on making, so if that's not your cup of tea, watch another video.
Do you want to win a 3D printed piece of bread? Head on over to instagram and follow the rules for the giveaway! Good luck!

Some of the models from this video are also available for download over at Sketchfab, right here: sketchfab.com/switchandlever
I will unfortunately not be making the skull ring available for download. If enough interest is shown in it (which I doubt) I may make it available for purchase through Shapeways.

Please make a tutorial on fixing meshes, you’re the only UKpostsr I found who has been so helpful and clear. And you kept it interesting! You didn’t lose my attention once

@joepie221 3 роки тому

I formerly ran the rapid prototype lab at Sulzer Orthopedics. Now Zimmer. I used to create complex bone models from CT and MRI data that was translated to .STL. The technology used individual sheets of heat sealed and laser cut paper. LOM...Laminate Object Manufacturing. These models allowed the surgeons to plan the repair and replacement of old or traumatized joints before ever cutting the patient. It was quite an advantage to be able to see the bone before cutting was involved. That technology was primitive compared to today's 3-D modeling capability.

The production cost is hight and at the end the result is not that great. Its easy to make a body with a thin plastic, but with a thicker plastics it's not the same. I dont have enought experience right now. But its going foward even with that covid19 virus. I also dont feel confortable salling the same body as traxxas. I also want to add that I started this project last September... perfections needs time. Thank you for your comments. Stay safe👍

@drewx10 4 роки тому

Looking at this for the purposes of creating a respirator to fit the unique contours of a face to achieve a air tight fit. Thanks for the suggestions and thorough work. I subscribed!

@SwitchAndLever 4 роки тому

Honestly I think that’s the wrong approach. The time required to scan a face and to adapt a 3D model to fit it properly would be far better spent in printing generic masks (in perhaps a few sizes) and rather thinking about the sealing interface material between mask and face. A soft and flexible material that fits against the face would be a better option, and would easily allow the masks to work on many different facial types. This also eliminates the uncomfortable hard plastic resting directly against the face.

@drewx10 4 роки тому

@@SwitchAndLever Definitely was considering a soft material where skin contact would occur. A thought that came to me later was a full helmet, though that would have other bad effects on patient care. My goal was to utilize 3d printing or some kind of at home manufacturing to create usable PPE to combat the COVID-19 virus.

@SwitchAndLever 4 роки тому

Oh, I think it's a worthwhile goal, I just don't think that 3D scanning, especially through photogrammetry would be the right approach due to the amount of manual post work you would need to do to even have a workable mesh to work with. The scale of the imported material won't be correct either, so you would have to compensate for that for each and every person you scan. In the amount of time you customize and print one mask for someone you could've likely printed ten masks that are not personalized.
