Solid Print3D - Formlabs
Step by step guide: Reverse engineering a BMW Z4 front bumper intake vent
Learn how to use 3D scanning to reverse engineer a part, reference planes in Quick Surface, build a parametric model in Solidworks, and print it on the Formlabs Form 4 3D printer, (including post-processing) to produce a perfectly fitting replacement with similar mechanical properties.
What You'll See:
- Scanning the Part: Using the Shining FreeScan Combo for high-precision 3D scanning.
- Reverse Engineering in CAD: Creating a parametric model in Solidworks.
- 3D Printing: Comparing Form 3L and Form 4 print times, materials, and build volume.
- Post-Processing: Using the Form Wash and Form Cure for the best results.
- Final Fit: Check out the fit on the BMW Z4
