[3D SCANNING APPLICATIONS] NO PROBLEM FOR CAR MODIFICATION AND REPAIR: TWO APPLICATIONS WITH THE LOWEST COST!
No commute is complete without music! High-end car audio doesn't require expensive modifications, and if your car helmet is broken, don't rush to throw it away. Japanese engineer Katsuya Tanabiki uses 3D scanning and 3D printing to create the lowest cost and most effective application examples. Whether it's the modification or repair of car parts, there's no problem. Let's look at 2 applications now:
．Car A-pillar - Customized Audio
Many car enthusiasts are particular about the sound quality of car music. Besides the original audio system, how can other audio equipment be added? Placing it on the dashboard is not ideal. Installing it on the A-pillar is the best choice for both appearance and sound quality, but this involves modifying the car's structure, which requires a lot of cost to outsource the installation work. 
Katsuya used a Shining EinScan Pro 2X 3D scanner to scan the car's A-pillar. After adjusting the brightness in the software, black structures could be scanned smoothly. Alternatively, AESUB self-evaporating scanning spray (developer) could be used, which creates a white powder layer on the object's surface. Then, a 3D scanner is used, and the powder automatically evaporates after a few hours, completely without affecting the scanned object's function.

Using the EinScan Pro 2X 3D scanner, the process only takes 5 minutes to complete! Then, only the part where the audio will be installed needs to be kept, and other superfluous parts can be selected and deleted (red part).
The scanned car A-pillar file is directly imported into Fusion 360, where the exterior structure of the speaker is designed and 3D modeled using CAD modeling software (Click here to see: Snapmaker with Fusion 360: 3D model engraving!).
Full-face Helmet - Latch Part
If the transparent visor of a motorcycle full-face helmet has a broken or damaged central latch part, users usually decide to replace the entire helmet to ensure riding safety. Wait! Using 3D scanning and 3D printing technology, you can replicate the exact part and bring your helmet back to life. 
Katsuya used the Shining EinScan Pro 2X with a tripod for fixed 3D scanning, accurately capturing the latch structure. The Shining series 3D scanners offer three scanning modes: handheld intricate, fixed with a tripod, and fixed with a turntable. You can choose the most suitable mode to capture objects based on their size.
After scanning, the 3D file is exported and imported into CAD software for model repair and reconstruction of the damaged structure. Finally, the file is reproduced using a 3D printer, and the full-face helmet can be repaired in just 1 hour.
Did you like this sharing? Now, there's no need to outsource custom industrial parts or equipment installations. By leveraging industrial technology, the combination of 3D printing and 3D scanning can create more benefits and save costs. Whether for corporate development or personal use, you can fully utilize it. 3DMART offers more than just 3D printing. Contact us now to learn more about the Shining series 3D scanners.
