This time I used the Xhorse 7×7 laser scanner to scan the front bumper of a Volkswagen T5. To capture more complete details, I set the scan resolution to 0.55 mm. The scanning process was a bit slower because of the higher resolution, but I still managed to fully capture the entire front bumper in the end. I’m pretty satisfied with how the details turned out.
Today, I used the Xhorse scanner to take on the challenge of scanning a motorcycle frame. To capture better detail, I applied scanning spray to the frame to reduce reflections and improve tracking stability. A motorcycle frame is honestly much more difficult to scan than it looks — the geometry is complex, with many blocked areas. This time, I split the frame into three separate scans and merged them afterward, mainly because I didn’t have enough marker spheres. I think this was probably close to the limit of what this scanner could handle 😅 But in the end, the result actually turned out really well, and most of the details and overall shape were captured successfully!
I recently picked up a consumer-grade 3D scanner to try out and did some test scans on my own car. The marker tracking performed better than I expected—there was hardly any tracking loss during the process, which really surprised me.
That said, one downside is that it still requires placing markers to scan properly, which can be a bit inconvenient. Overall, I think the final results are fairly decent—nothing mind-blowing, but definitely in line with my expectations.
