Amstrad CPC 3d models

Yes, I noticed some of them were off, but the supply the .blend files, so you could use them as a basis and correct the mistakes.

It'd be less work to create new models from scratch... Believe me...

I will soon have access to a 3D scanner. I wonder if it would be useful for me to scan the 6128 plastics? I don't know if it would produce a very good model.

Are these scans converted in CAD files or are 3D-scanner specific?

[Munchausen]

They can be exported to CAD models I believe. However they apparently need a fair amount of work before being entirely useful, mostly because it is a handheld scanner. Having seen these scanners before, they do produce pretty good looking results but not good enough that you could e.g. immediately print an accurate copy with a 3D printer. There is talk of building some kind of articulated platform to use for the scanning, which would improve the quality a lot, but that's just banter ATM.


Basically they are just finishing building a maker space at the university where I work. It will have a trio of 3D printers of various qualities, a small CNC, a 3D scanner and a lot of other stuff.
