hood wire.jpgThe first plan of attack is to digitize the original hood. I have experimented with several methods of digitizing over the years including, but not limited to: Kinect scanner, photogrammetry, laser, portable CMM, software that takes series of pictures and attempts to build a model, touch point probes, non- contact scanners, etc.
They all have limitations and downsides. Some are cheap, some are not. Most are laying in a corner.
For this project, we will use a contact point probe called a Proliner. I have no affiliation with this company, and am always looking for something better.
First step will be to collect the points then clean them up in another software package so a surface model can be made. This step can take several hours...
