Seems like every few days I have the same thought many of you guys probably also have, “Oh, I could just scan this and bring it into CAD, then I could very easily blah blah…”
For me, most of this is with car parts. I’m doing a custom drivetrain for an old F250, and am dying not being able to use cad to build it all on a computer before cutting anything up IRL. I work in Autodesk Inventor for all 80 hours of my bi-weekly paycheck, where we use massive point clouds for millwrighting, like 100 scans all with 100+ feet of range. So now im spoiled, and not having that external reference for something so “small” feels archaic.
That being said, its seems as though there are many options in my price range. MetroX, Miraco, Otter, Einstar, I’m not sure what the go-to is, and I’m hoping this thread can help someone in a similar position to me. I dont mind spraying on a powder or sticking on dots, and I have a 9900k/32gb/2080 ti computer to run whatever I end up with. Ive done a good bit of research, but you guys are a lot smarter than I about this stuff, so any help is appreciated. Thanks!
