Reproducing a Battery-Powered Soldering Shell
Reproducing the shell of a battery-powered soldering tool using the new MetroX 3D scanner by Revopoint. The shell, measuring 164x34x13 mm, was scanned in two separate sessions, both performed in Crossed-Line Laser Mode with High Definition, a resolution of 0.2 mm, and tracking via Global Markers in Generic Object Mode.
Once cleaned, the two point clouds were automatically merged. The mesh was generated at Level 6 with a grid size of 0.11 mm. The resulting model is flawless in both detail and dimensions.
The purpose of the scan was to recreate the part to replace the broken shell of a soldering tool. The mesh file was printed on a BambuLab X1C. After removing the supports and carefully cleaning the screw holes, the new part was mounted seamlessly onto the original soldering tool. It fit perfectly with the original shell and the internal electronics.
This project showcases another perfect example of direct Scan-to-Print, with no modifications required and no issues encountered.
For anyone looking to reproduce mechanical or structural parts, I truly believe the MetroX is the ideal ally. Its precision and ease of use make it an invaluable tool for professionals and hobbyists alike!
