Abstract

In this project, an approach to use Microsoft Kinect as a scanner where the function is to scan an object and convert it into CAD format. The objective of the project to design the low cost 3D scanner and have turning capabilities during the scanning process. In the development process it involved design process which is morphological chart, 3D drawing by using Solid Work and ANSYS software as the FEA analysis tools, programing, fabrication and testing. There are two sizes of gear which is 40 teeth and 20 teeth, both of the gear have been printed using 3D printer with ABS material. The Arduino UNO board has been coded by using open source software. The result of the analysis between the pulse of the servo and the depth image of the object, the results shows 1650 μs servo speed is ideal the speed of scanning process to get the best result. For the complex object the, the analysis has been done by using a kettle as the object and based on the result other problem has been found such as hole on the depth image of the surface causes from glare and light reflecting on the surface give the not satisfied result. In conclusion, the low cost 3D scanner performance is good enough in term of result produce compared to others expensive 3D scanner.
