[Ma...] Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Hello everyone, I have an injection mold for which no digital data exists. Since we need to order a new mold, I require a precise 3D model of the handle contour to ensure an accurate reproduction. What would be the best method to measure the existing mold? Would a point cloud or a freeform scan be the most suitable approach? The goal is to provide our design team with the most accurate possible 3D model to work with. I would appreciate any advice or recommendations on the best scanning or measurement techniques for this task. Best regards, Marco W.

[Ma...] Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Since there is no model, then i would suggest laser scan. I don't have good enough results with unknown curve - unless it's simple geometry. Only option then is to use 3d curve and unknown curve ( which will make scan net in both axis ) - but be carefull with defining start and end points.

[Cl...] Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) You could use lots and lots of space points, but with no nominal data? Edited March 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
