Smart is one of the first production models of RangeVision 3D scanners. Its design is quite cute and even frivolous. However, this impression is deceptive. Smart features are sufficient to solve professional tasks. Let's look at how the digitization of the hood of a racing car for reverse engineering and tuning took place.

On the body element of the sports car, under which 500 hp is hidden, 5mm markers were glued and fixed so that it remained stationary during digitization. With markers, accuracy on objects of 2-3 meters is not lost, and the stitching of scans in the program is accelerated.

The 3D scanner was calibrated for the first zone for large objects - the hood size is 1300x865 mm. On RangeVision scanners, the distance between the cameras changes to capture more or less data. The volume of one image in the Smart zone No. 1 is 500x375x375 mm, the 3D resolution reaches 0.4 mm, and professional technical cameras collect high-quality information with low noise levels. Smart scans without a network connection for an hour, and it took us about 15 minutes to take several pictures and cover the entire hood.

Fragments were automatically combined in the RangeVision ScanCenter program by markers. Simple processing: removing unnecessary dots, stitching micro-voids, and a 3D model in STL format is ready. Before scanning, we selected the detail, the 3D resolution was 0.75 mm. This is suitable for tuning tasks, and even exceeds sufficient values. The 3D model clearly shows signs of surface wear and minor scratches - the detail turned out to be excessive.

According to the STL file, reverse engineering is done in any CAD program. Based on a model with mathematical surfaces, it is convenient to experiment with the shape of the duct grilles on the hood. Their seats are recorded electronically, so you don't have to worry about the collection. Autotuning has reached a new level of accuracy, speed and adaptability using 3D scanners.
