Mobile 3D scanning of Museum Artefacts

February 20, 2023

Museums collect valuable artefacts of human history. Its is a window to the past. A large amount of statues, sculpture and and other historical objects present what is long gone. The preservation of the past and reverse engineering processes become possible with 3D scanning technology. Get insights into a scan of a historical statue here.

The goal: a precise scan for the replica of the statue Nike

The War Museum in Greece is the largest museum of military history in the country and one of the largest in Southeastern Europe. It collects relicts of Greek history from all wartime periods. In honor of approx. 1600 Philhellenes who offered their services and often even their lives for the liberation of Greece, a monument is planned at the war museum.

For the Monument of Philhellenes the corrected statue of the well-known Nike (Goddess of Victory) needs to be replicated. The replica will be embossed in the center of the monument (Fig. 1).

For this project, a 3D scan of the original statue is created in this application example. The data collected will later be used to produce the marble duplicate using a CNC cutting machine.

The challenge of scanning

The challenge of the application is the creation of an exact scan and later duplicate of the statue.

The work here is complicated at first by the application environment. The confined space as well as the mounting of the statue on the wall makes scan data collection tricky.

With measurements of 1,2 m by 0,60 m the statue is a fairly large object to scan. Besides that, the original is characterized by the numerous details which should be maintained as best as possible. In order to achieve a realistic replica of the statue all details need to be collected accurately and reliably.

Both requirements have to be taken into consideration when scanning the Victory of Goddess.

The scan data must be as exact as possible since the statue is cut out of a marble block using a CNC marble cutting machine.

The digitized statue was the missing puzzle piece for the following replication.

In order to scan as fast and precise as possible, GOM Scan 1 was used. Due to the fringe projection (stereo camera approach) and the blue light technology, the 3D scanner provides detailed and accurate meshes.

The light weight and compact shape of the GOM Scan 1 turned out to be particularly suitable for confined spaces of a museum. The measuring volume furthermore allowed the collection of fine and small details as well as the digitization of the medium-sized part.

Lino Integrated Printing Solutions executed this task. As a long-standing partner in our network, Lino is experienced in the use of 3D scan technology. Based on years long experience, they chose the GOM Scan 1.

Michalis Bratsolias from Lino Integrated Printing Solutions reported that using the fringe projection technology, it was even possible to scan the whole statue almost without reference points.

The scanner operates with the GOM Inspect software. It was extensively used to digitize the statue. Step-by-step it guided the user through the scanning process. Thus, an accurate measuring was possible due to the constant reassurance of the software.

In the museal application, the sensor and GOM Inspect software were simply the perfect duo:

One stop solution to scan, edit, repair and even more.

3D Printing Can Be Used to Fight Against Bacteria

September 15, 2022

Due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, more than ever we are aware of how harmful and easily transmissible bacteria and other microbes are on surfaces. The mats that adhere there, some of which are slimy, are called biofilms and are often resistant to conventional disinfectants. They form complex communities and can even lead to life-threatening bacterial infections. But to eliminate this problem, a team of researchers at Montana State University in the U.S. has brought additive manufacturing into play to advance biofilm bacteria research using 3D printing technology. The goal here is to be able to produce a kind of tool that helps replicate the microbes. Researchers Zimlich and Thornton, who work at MSU’s Center for Biofilm Technology, have been working on the 3D printing device for two years.

Many tests and modifications later, however, they finally achieved their first success: the research object, which consists of a grid of individual bacteria inserted in hydrogel – a transparent, pudding-like substance – that they can precisely lay out at will, could be a great help for future bacterial transmissions. That’s because, specifically, it allows cells to be arranged and encapsulated exactly where they are needed to help fight bacteria. More specifically, the process involves imaging the microbes in the hydrogel and then solidifying the material with a laser to create an imperfect biofilm. While only one type of bacteria has been used so far in the research, if Zimlich and Thornton were to use other strains of bacteria, they could create more complex biofilms as a result.

A Forest Full of Bacteria

Comparable to a forest due to the sheer diversity of lifeforms present, Zimlich admits that even the simplest biofilm systems are complex species. For this reason, they felt it was their responsibility to combat microbes that may even be resistant to antibiotics. This is the case, he said, because the cells at the lowest level of the biofilm present are encapsulated from oxygen and enter a dormant state, making drugs ineffective against them. According to Phil Stewart, also a researcher at MSU, this phenomenon is explained by the fact that the bacteria have already undergone so many biological changes that such drugs are partially ineffective. Further development of such drugs is therefore inevitable, so that all forms of bacteria in the biofilm are attacked. However, Zimlich is optimistic and describes his idea for combating such a situation with bacteria, commenting, “One thing that’s becoming clearer is that there’s potential to treat these pathogenic bacteria by altering the interactive biofilm environment instead of trying to use harsh chemical products.”

But in order to further develop such treatments, numerous tests must take place in a controlled environment such as a laboratory. And that’s when the 3D printing tool finds its way. “We think it’s possible to construct analogs of how these pathogenic biofilms form naturally,” affirms Zimlich. With some 30 collaborative partners, the MSU research team also indicates in their press release that their research could even be of great interest to companies such as Procter and Gamble, 3M and NASA.

Why Combine 3D Printing and Industrial Automation Applications?

July 28, 2022

3D printing is widely used in the field of automation such as in compression molding. It’s a formative manufacturing method, currently popular in industry, that involves compressing the desired amount of molding material between two heated presses to give it its final shape. It is cost-effective compared to other production processes, allowing both small parts and large components to be designed. In addition, the base mold can be 3D printed, giving manufacturers more flexibility and geometric freedom. That’s why one electrical manufacturer has invested in several 3D printers from Flashforge, including 11 Creator 4 models. With this investment, the company was able to reduce its labor costs by 80% and cut delivery times by 50%.

Flashforge is a Chinese manufacturer that entered the 3D printing market in 2012. Since then, it has offered a wide range of solutions worldwide and caters to applications in education, healthcare, jewelry, and more. Among its wide range of 3D printers is the Creator 4, an industrial FDM machine with two independent extruders and different extrusion options to expand the range of compatible materials. It’s a ideal solution for multiples industries such as automotive, medical or consumer goods. It boasts a printing volume of 400mm350mm500mm, a heating plate capable of reaching 130°C and a closed chamber that can rise to 65°C. It is a solution that offers optimal temperature control combined with production flexibility, allowing it to be combined with automation processes, such as compression molding.

Integrating 3D Printing into the Compression Molding Process

One of the challenges of compression molding is the design of the hoppers and mold: each hopper must match the mold cavity exactly so that the material can flow properly. However, the molds used are not all the same shape, with different or irregular cavities, which multiplies the number of hoppers needed. Flashforge’s customer, which specializes in the manufacture of electrical equipment, explained: “Each project involves dozens, if not hundreds, of different shaped molds. Each size requires over a hundred hoppers. So, a completed project represents tens of thousands of hoppers. In the past, we have had to hire trade experts or even outsource the order. However, whichever solution we chose, it was costly in time and money, as was post-project maintenance.”

That’s where 3D printing comes in: the company relied on Flashforge’s Creator 4 machines to design the hoppers, freeing itself from the various shape, labor, time, and maintenance constraints of the past. As a result, the company invested in 11 machines and is now able to complete the design and production of 40 hoppers in a single day, about 10 more than before, all with only one employee on the job.

The 3D printer is capable of creating the hoppers with an accuracy of 0.2 mm to meet the necessary requirements. In addition, the Creator 4 is compatible with a wide range of materials, allowing the company to produce stronger, more abrasion-resistant molds and hoppers. The company uses ABS, nylon, polycarbonate and other technical materials to increase the durability of parts.

Benefits of Flashforge’s 3D Printing Solutions

In addition to this material compatibility, Flashforge 3D printers also allow teams to better control the manufacturing process and ensure that parts meet compression molding requirements. The resulting hoppers are lighter and easier to replace in the event of a defect.

Finally, the company estimates that it saved 10% of its labor costs in the first year and increased its output by 35%. A representative concluded: “Our customer orders are increasing and we will have to increase our production rate. Thanks to 3D printing, we can organize ourselves quickly and meet these growing needs. This is a real plus for us because we are able to meet demand in a flexible way.” If you have any 3D printing needs in terms of automation processes, feel free to contact Flashforge’s team HERE.
