Project Overview

Software

The software FLMScan for prototype 2 is based on the FLMScan software of prototype 1.

The following improvements are planned for prototype 2 of FLMScan software:

• Calibration functionality
• Installer
• Improved user interface
• Rotating plate control via serial interface
• Export of bitmaps
• Preview functionality
• Support of German and English language

Electronics

Three electronics subprojects are planned for prototype 2:

• Electronics for calibration ("calibration board")
• Electronics for housing (switch-key, power supply light/laser)
• Electronics for rotating plate control (PCB)

Mechanics

Several mechanics subprojects are planned for prototype 2:

• Rotating plate mechanics
  • Lasercut for simple rotating plate platform (rotating plate directly mounted on stepper motor axis)
  • Lasercut for rotating plate with gear
  • 3D print for rotating plate with gear
• Lasercut for calibration board
• Lasercut for webcam- and laser mounts
• Mechanics for laserscanner housing

Documentation

Documentation of software, electronics and mechanics is planned for prototype 2.

Documentation subprojects are:

• Documentation of whole 3D scanner project in FabLab Munich Wiki
• Documentation of FLMScan software
• Documentation of elektronics (including part list and circuits)
• Documentation of mechanics (including vector graphics for lasercuts, 3D models for 3D prints, as well as mounting instructions)
