Convert the photos/scans into high quality 3d meshes with Autodesk’s project momento

Autodesk has tied a knot with Artec to incorporate Artec’s series of industrial scanners with Project Memento. Project Memento is a free preview of Autodesk’s Labs technology that offers a streamlined solution for dealing with enormous meshes produced through reality capture systems like scanning or photogrammetry. With Project Memento, one can transform any pthotos, scans into super quality 3d meshes which can be cleaned up, fixed and optimized for digital application or fabrication. One can get rid of the time consuming practice for processing and organizing meshes created from reality capture sensors.

Both are also experimenting to facilitate Eva and Spider models to produce scans directly to Autodesk’s Project Memento for mesh and modeling work without any difficulty.

A forum is formed for generating and distributing very big 3D mesh models, simplifying the process to use those models in workflows which cover other Autodesk 3D modeling tools like Inventor or AutoCAD.

The engineers will be capable of applying the Artec scanners and the Project Memento service to scan a manufactured component and evaluate the 3D scan to the original 3D CAD model to analyze how the unit degenerates over time.

Some crucial enhancements with Autodesk’s free desktop modeling apps

Autodesk has added some new features to its free consumer modeling and 3D printing prep tools. Meshmixer, one of the easy to use molding applications of Autodesk that can be used for integration, sculpting and painting 3D meshes, now contains some crucial up-gradations with 3D printing.

As for instance, the new Make Slices tool of Meshmixer generates a wide array of cross-sections by applying either a stacked or stacked3D method. There is option to include/edit custom printers which facilitate model prep to any 3D printer.

On the modeling part, drag and drop of solid objects is possible with Meshmixer. There exit a new primitives category as well as a Separate Shells tool to take apart integrated geometry into distinct objects. This newest version is also compatible with PLY binary, a 3D polygon format common with 3D scanners.

Another intuitive product of Autodesk is free consumer-grade 123D Design application. It also consists of a new feature like a new UI that makes it identical to other 123D apps besides providing access to models generated with other 123D applications through MyProjects. Based on Inventor, the CAD-lite solid modeler comes up with latest modeling tools which are utilized for merging, subtracting and intersecting operations amid meshes and solids.

The modeling work is also improved with the addition of the new snapping options together with an option for integrating objects on STL export to support printers that read first body only. 123D Design also contains the options like opening, inserting, and saving meshes in STL and OBJ formats and import of SVG files to be applied as sketches or as simple extrusions.
