Building the ultimate turntable for 3D scanning
Summary
Chris Borge, a rising star in the YouTube maker community, has created a robust 3D scanning turntable using Arduino and concrete-filled 3D printing. This innovative design features adjustable speed, a unique fixturing system, and versatility for videography.
Key Insights
What is concrete-filled 3D printing in the context of this turntable?
Concrete-filled 3D printing involves printing a hollow shell using a 3D printer and then filling it with concrete to create an extremely rigid and vibration-dampening structure, ideal for a stable scanning turntable base.
Why is a turntable essential for 3D scanning?
A turntable rotates the object being scanned, allowing a stationary 3D scanner to capture images from all angles without manual repositioning, ensuring complete and accurate 3D models.
