Hello all,
I have to assume a great deal of expertise in this forum and I’m looking for guidance. I am a woodworker, and even though I create objects in 3d, they are really, often 2D templates. I work with live edge wood (the natural curve of the tree) and can encounter very unusual gaps in wood. I have a somewhat common use case, which is to create a glass or acrylic inlay that fits into these shapes, and the only thing I can think of to grab these shapes to create fills with my CNC and Laser is a 3D scanner
Here’s an example of the result I would try to get.
And example of glass to fit a live edge table
The 2nd use case is plywood templates that I’ve made in the past need to be scanned in order to either a) sell the template file or b) recreate it again once it wears down.
From my reading, I think I can achieve these objectives with a 3D scanner and, if so, wonder to the community which Revopoint might best fit my needs.
Some additional details:
- live edge wood would be up to 1m wide x 3m long
- smaller holes might be 50cm x 50cm
- may want to scan a room for accurate dimensions to create built-in cabinetry
- I use a program called VCarve Pro which can read STLs (and I can subsequently carve them on my CNC) but I can also use it to slice a profile and create a DXF vector which I more commonly use
My reading of Revopoint product info leads me to think the Range 2 or the MetroX might be the best fit, but I would welcome thoughts, feedback, or anyone that has tried something similar with real life feedback.
Many thanks,
Mike
