Boat builder here: My first accuracy test results on very large objects

Hello;

I’m a hobbyist boat builder.
Currently I’m building a Ferrari slipperlaunch

I recently bought a Trackit as my Miraco was not accurate enough on large surfaces and everything is flat on a boat so it was a tracking nightmare. (I never experimented with dots though)

I was actually really curious about results. In boat building , standard measurement tool for high end decking is Prodim Proliner which is a 25k hand held cabled device which I definitely can’t afford.

My first test results: (I mean really this was my first ever scan, one click edit no settings, dimmed lights, dark mahogany wood )
Temperature: Tracker 16 degrees, Scanner: 19 degrees.

Real measurement between U shaped seats: 825.5mm
Trackit: 824.68mm

Real measurement on central plywood: 505 mm
Trackit: 504.51mm

It honestly seems very very accurate, good enough for real decking especially for such a large body.

So, my first review of usage of trackit other than reverse engineering some objects :slight_smile:

This could be a tool rather than a gimmick in wood working but revopoint should discuss improvements with people that really uses Trackit for a job, not some people that simply wants to make 3d printable objects.

My biggest recommendation:

-You have a gimbal for tracker already, make it possible to change X Y on the go and stich it later. For example I did the back seats, when I want to do the front seats, I’m out of tracker’s sight. Make a button that is like [+10 degree]. When you press it, it looks up +10 degrees and it starts a new scan but later stiches it with previous one?

  • Also please please add a IR vision screen to target the Tracker. Sometimes you get a bit high or low.. I really don’t want to install a laser pointer.

I’ll add a very short video of me scanning on my next video.

Wow great project ! Thank you for sharing with our community !

Thank you so much for sharing your incredible project with us!

Hi , Thank you so much for your post !

I do a lot of work creating Rhino 3D models from scans of boats (up to 50m)

I have been wondering how the Trackit would work on boats and the results and accuracy look fantastic ! Well Done !!
