Pictures, similar to this, were taken of the object from all angles to encompass the entire object and create an accurate model. Many aspects had to be utilized to produce usable images such as baby powder to eliminate the shine on the metal and a ruler to use as a scale. Credit: Pamela Krewson Wertz
What if it were possible to quickly and inexpensively create a part simply by using a series of close-range digital images taken of the object? A method called has now been identified for its application in manufacturing. In this technique, digital images of an object that have been taken at various angles are used to create a point cloud – or a large collection of points used to create 3D representation of existing structures – from which a computer-aided design (CAD) file can be generated...
