3D scanning and airfoil selection
3D scanning is the process of identifying the geometrical information of
the object using 3D scanners. 3D scanners collect the geometrical
information of the object and send it to the computer. Here the different
types of software tools are used to develop the CAD model of the object.
(Barrett and Ning, 2018) (Bhosale, 2018) There are several techniques are
available for scanning the objects. Among them, 3D scanning technology
is used in this project.
In the 3D scanning process, the geometric information of the object is
converted as a set of coordinate values. It is done by the principle of light
emission and recapturing. Here the coordinate values gathered using the
laser or light is called as cloud data. There are a different number of
software packages are available to covert the cloud data into the solid
models. This method has some limitations (Burek, Jamuła and Flejszar,
2019) (Chaudhary and Roy, 2015). Even this method is more accurate
than the other methods like coordinate measuring technique etc. This
method takes some time. Here the sheath of light or laser is used to
capture the data clouds.
System and software description
Hexagon Romer Absolute Arm 7325OSI is a fully integrated 3D scanning
system. It works by projecting a laser light line onto the surface. The
scanner collects geometrical data as points via a laser line. (Cheng, Song
and Tsai, 2012) (De Maesschalck, Lavagnoli and Paniagua, 2013). The
laser line goes through the area until the whole surface is captured. The
scanner movement is done manually and measures very fast
Collecting millions of dots and generates a large number of data in a point
cloud During the printing operation, the blade shall not be shifted. The
scanner is moved manually across the scanning surfaces. (Dhert, Ashuri
and Martins, 2016)
The Hexagon Arm is connected to the software and when scanning is
complete, the software will digitalize and visualize.
