This study introduces an affordable, open-source three-dimensional (3D) scanning system for industrial use. The low-cost 3D scanner achieves accurate object dimension extraction for manufacturing applications.

Area of Science:

  • Engineering
  • Computer Science
  • Metrology

Background:

  • Industrial applications increasingly require advanced three-dimensional (3D) scanning for manufacturing, quality control, and inspection.
  • Existing industrial 3D scanning solutions are often prohibitively expensive, limiting accessibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate an open-source, low-cost 3D scanning architecture suitable for industrial environments.
  • To provide a cost-effective alternative for obtaining 3D models for manufacturing purposes.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a 3D scanning system utilizing a linear laser beam swept by a rotating mirror and a camera.
  • Employed a laser triangulation-inspired technique to extract object dimensions from captured images.
  • Acquired and analyzed 3D models of various objects, comparing them to real-world measurements.

Main Results:

  • The proposed system achieved a maximum mean height error of 2.56 mm, a maximum mean length error of 1.48 mm, and a maximum mean width error of 1.30 mm on the raw point cloud.
  • Scanning time was approximately 4 seconds per laser line.
  • The system successfully generated 3D models comparable to real-world object dimensions.

Conclusions:

  • The developed open-source, low-cost 3D scanning architecture is a viable solution for industrial applications.
  • The system demonstrates potential for accurate 3D model generation in manufacturing contexts.
  • Further improvements can enhance the system's performance and applicability.
