Hello you all, As I’m busy in the world of tractorpulling in my spare time, I’m also reverse engineering our whole tractor into CAD, so I can make changes quickly if needed. Today I scanned in the old turbo compressor housing (holset HX82) to make a cone inlet housing for it. If you watch closely you can see the compressor wheel exploded last time and took half the silencer ring out. 😬 This will only be used as a background surface body, so I didn’t took the time to totally reverse engineer it. I will be posting other scanning projects here in the future! ![turbo compressor huis](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/3X/7/b/7b9968fd648c7d51e3aef100a9338ccb3ef36558.jpeg) ![Turbo Compressor huis render](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/3X/7/9/790fe7d15efed138806f9e502838ebaa5aa81adf.jpeg) ![Turbo Compressor huis render 2](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/3X/b/7/b7a652af5a8a388a3f5c87654f5ac91f5eb4c97d.jpeg) Hope you guys like it! ---

Hi J.S. looks great. How many scans and which scanning mode did you use? Thomas ---

I merged 5 scans in total, this was in crossline mode for shiny metallic objects. I was really surprised how easy it was compared to my old Pop 2 scanner. By the way, the model is on my Grabcad page, search for holset HX82. ---

Really nice scan! 👏🏻 ---

It seems like the edges are really sharp in your scans, how do you achieve this? ---

I tried to do as little as possible ‘over’ scanning. that gives sharp edges in my experience. that said, with the compressor housing I cheated a little bit, there is actually a boss extrude added at that plane for easier assembly mates in the top assembly. But the exhaust housing has no boss extrudes trough the body. ![Schermafbeelding 2025-02-06 185917](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/3X/6/e/6ee0b5b224c542a18096b27f45e0c8e8c4dcd836.png) as you can see it’s very detailed and very usable for reverse engineering! ---

Soo, it’s not a tractorpuller part, but from a dirtbike this time. nevertheless, I wanted to share this one because it came out really neat! this will be used to make a custom cover with a transparent front plate so you can see the clutch and stuff. ![Schermafbeelding 2025-04-02 173457](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/3X/c/d/cd7484a7a3323c4052503fd6751ef5b3335abeba.jpeg) ![Schermafbeelding 2025-04-02 173428](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/3X/b/d/bdaa3e370b086a37f792eb6cda3bff1a50ad960b.jpeg) ---

another nice example, scanned a IH cylinderhead for a fellow tractorpulling team in our town. came out really nice! this will be used to design a intake manifold, as wel as various other parts. ![Schermafbeelding 2025-04-04 184158](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/3X/4/d/4d170c2139402e7afcc5f2e64462b1c5e2a24e52.jpeg) ---

J.S would you be able to upload your Holset HX82 turbo? Great scanning, would like to use if possible! ---

sorry for the very late reply, hadn’t looked on this forum much lately. the front side is on grabcad
