3D Laser Scan of Original Parts and Cars

[Adam C.]

We took the plunge and purchased a fantastic 3D laser scanner!

We'd like to document as many original pieces as possible.
If you're willing to share the original piece for a short period of time, I'd be happy to supply the 3D scan in exchange.
Some example pieces I did this weekend (below).
We can do whole sub-assemblies or vehicles as well.

Did it scan the inside of the ports well?
Would be interesting to have it run through the current CFD programs.

 

[Adam C.]

It was an unported head. A semi-finished casting.

If you want to run CFD on an existing port, the best way is to pour a silicone mold and then scan that or x-ray scan the casting.

Some MKII bits for fun. Fuel crossover ring and oil cooler

MKII Fog light. A really tough scan. Small, transparent, or reflective parts are the most difficult. This one is all three!

if you can buy white sand shoe ( tennis shoe) cleaner it works very well for scanning and washes off with H2O.

Thanks Trevor,

I’ve been using this:

AESUB - State of the art scanning spray

AESUB - a new revolutionary scanningspray. Helps to digitize reflecting and transparent surfaces and evaporates after the 3D scanning. No more mess, no more cleaning, easy to apply, thin layer, super quality – state of the art scanningspray!

aesub.com

It’s a little pricey, and doesn’t work as well as foot powder, paint etc, but transitions directly from solid to gas, leaving no trace on the part.

Adam
they have similar stuff here but too expensive , sand shoe cleaner wipes off with wet rag !! ok for small volume and its cheap !!
never thought of foot powder , cornstarch probably good as well
cheers

Upping the ante.

Anyone that helps with info to replicate a part gets a free copy, another one in kind, or in-store credit.

A few folks have helped out already.

 

[Brian Kissel]

Adam, that is a great deal you have put out there. I hope people step up as from everything I have seen you make some really nice parts.
Best of luck !!
Regards Brian

 

[Adam C.]

Thanks Brian. I'm having a lot of fun working on GTs again and connecting with old friends. A lot of irons in the fire. Hopefully I don't get burned out again!

Adam,
I have seen quite a few posts where people were looking for a clutch slave splined arm for the ZF box.

The period piece was curved and unobtainable at present.

Perhaps something for you to think about.

Clutch release lever

Hi All, I'm after a clutch release lever for a DS25-0 or DS25-1, as in the attached picture. Anyone have one? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Ian, is it not available from the other two sources?

 

[Ian Anderson]

Hi Adam
iAm not sure but I think I have heard 3 or 4 times people looking for that piece as it had broken.

Other similar pieces are available but do not work.

Thanks Ian,

If anyone has one that I could borrow for a week…

Thanks Ian,

let me know if you cannot locate one , I think I have one , but as you know, some distance away

 

[Doc Watson]

You mean this part? Happy to send it to you Adam.
