Day 1 ( August 5th) INPUT and Editing
09:30 Registration and coffee
09:45 Introduction
10:00 2D digitising using an existing sketch.
10:30 Effective capturing of geometry to construct from an existing shape.
- 3D Digitising with a MicroScribe arm directly into Rhino
11:00 Break
11:15 Modelling the digitised design
- Outline the process
- Creating a clean surface model.
- Adding a 3D logo
- Placing printed labels, made on the Roland Printer/Cutter
12:15 3D Laser scanning process.
- Discuss some of the scanning options
- See and learn the scanning process with Roland LPX600 scanner.
How it works to make an STL mesh file from an object.
13:00 Break
14:00 Using Rhino's Mesh tools
- Learn about the power of Mesh tools and their advantages.
- How mesh tools can be used with scanned mesh data to reverse engineer designs.
15:00 Break
15:15 Photogrammetry, digitising on a larger scale.
- Rhinophoto is an easy to use digitising solution that plugs into Rhino.
- Using a digitial camera and some coded targets you can easily and affordably digitise your shapes.
- See how it works in Rhino's enviroment.
( If you have a DSLR camera, then bring it along and you can have a go yourself )
16:00 Q & A time, and time to look at the equipment.
17:00 Finish
