Scion FR-S Scan-to-CAD Reverse-Engineering & Aero Development
The first major personal project I undertook post-graduation was learning how to fully 3D scan my car & motorcycle and develop a process for stitching scan-sets together, aligning them to the automotive industry standard coordinate system, merging the datasets accurately, and reverse-engineering the surfaces captured for use in SolidWorks.
I do all the 3D scanning, reverse-engineering, and design work in addition to all component installations on the actual car. Manufacturing and welding are typically handled by a friend who owns a fabrication shop.
The car continues evolving and changing with each year that passes, and I don’t think it will ever be “finished” as there’s always another design or idea to try out.
