Practical 3D Scanning: Conclusion
Conclusion
02.07
00:00 | This brings us to the end of our 3D scanning course. |
00:02 | We've covered a lot of information in this course and you should now have a solid understanding of everything you need to know across the fundamental knowledge and practical skills of 3D scanning, as well as how to actually use the scans in CAT. |
00:17 | Remember if you didn't fully understand anything covered in any of these modules, it's easy to go back through and revisit anything you feel you could do with a refreshr on. |
00:27 | Before we finish up, there are a few things that I think are important to reiterate. |
00:31 | First, modifying any critical components on any vehicle obviously needs to be approached with care and caution to ensure that the parts are strong and safe. |
00:41 | We must have a good understanding of any changes we're making to a vehicle and the outcome that the changes will have. |
00:48 | Almost every change in an automotive application comes with some form of compromise and any effect on safety must be carefully considered. |
00:57 | When it comes to the process of 3D scanning in particular, we need to consider the accuracy of our scans. |
01:03 | These will never be 100% perfect and while we're armed with the knowledge to get the best results possible, we still need to keep this in mind when designing our parts. |
01:13 | Depending on our application and our confidence in the scan data, we might need to allow for some tolerance in our designs to ensure they'll fit and function as intended after we potentially spend a lot of time and money getting them produced. |
01:27 | This course was designed to give you the knowledge and understanding to leverage the power of 3D scanning for motorsport design. |
01:35 | But there's always more to learn. |
01:37 | So, if you have any technical questions or concepts that you want to dive deeper into, be sure to use the form below, which will generate a topic on the members forum for discussion. |
01:47 | As with most things related to motorsport engineering, the best way to learn is by practical experience. |
01:53 | So, it's time to get out there, scan some parts and start using them in CAD. |
01:57 | Thanks again for taking this course, I'm looking forward to seeing your 3D scanning projects and discussions in the members forum. |
