Explore the uncommon possibilities that portable 3D measurements technologies open up – Part 1 | Creaforms blog
Summary
Provided it sees a few targets in its field of view, the 3D scanner can acquire data, all the while being “tracked” in space by the C-Track, which, in turn, can be moved around in the work area to cover even more surface. To the great delight of London’s Natural History Museum scientists, the whole process was completed in less than two days, and Measurement Solutions’ engineers provided them with several optimized scan data files for future research and accurate anatomical representations to work from. Using Creaform’s HandySCAN 3D scanner ( a legacy product sold by D2M Solutions FZE in Middle East), the CSIRO personnel laid out positioning targets on Holly’s hoof to capture the pressure points and get a digital image of the leg. Similarly to the case of Holly, several horses from the Mike de Kock Racing stables from Netherlands benefit from 3D-printed moulds and polymers (EquiMold) manufactured by FormaHoof to correct foot asymmetry and toe/heel irregularities, and to relieve pain. A research team from the University of São Paulo, writing in the journal , noted the high cost of cadaver preservation and acquisition of adequate equipment.
