The 1st Arduino Playgroung in Greece - Open Source Hardware
Arduino 3D Laser Scanner
Introduction
FabScan is an open-source, do-it-yourself 3D laser scanner.
It started out as a Bachelor's thesis by Francis Engelmann, supervised by René Bohne.
Scanner 3D - FabScan
You can nd of cial project here.
I made my own box from MDF hood sheets and use different hardware parts.
I decided to make this guide to show to you my work.
All credits for Arduino software and computer application goes to FabScan team, so
thank you very much for this great open source 3D laser scanner!

WHAT YOU WILL NEED CONNECTIONS ARDUINO CODE SOFTWARE
Hardware of of cial FabScan project:
Arduino UNO
A4988 Stepper Motor Driver
FabScan-Shield - 3D Laser Scanner
5mW Laser Module - Red Line
Bipolar Stepper motor - NEMA 17 (200 Steps)
12V - 1A power supply
Web camera Logitech C270
To build the box you will need 4x sheets of MDF wood, size 600mm x 300mm - 5mm.
You can nd more info here.
Hardware that I have used:
Arduino UNO
Stepper motor - NEMA 17 (200 Steps)
L298N Motor Driver Module
5mW Laser Module - Red Line
12V - 2A power supply
Web camer Logiteck C270
I advised you to select the of cial FabScan hardware part list.

I used a dremel cutting tool and my imagination to build my own box. This it not an easy procedure because the camera, stepper and laser module must be on the
correct position to successful scan an object. If you want to make your life easier you can also buy cutted parts for only 35euros from here.

better have david scanner style but how make, or i have go pro style wifi camera how can connect this to software and 2 laser, best
have half round up camera scan up and side 1/4 ball move camera then can scan all parts better but how made.i test only fabscan
basic and resolution HD 1080 camera not good, parts wery groove after scan, need better resolution scanner.

yes can use better HD resolution camera ,better whayou found have good, how better cam have then accurate scan have, laser
cheap can use many different 5W laser no important, 2 laser better.have many arduino shield one motor, i used zumscan shiel but
no important all working, need shield and A4988 stepperdriver to top on shield only.or this style l298 motor shiel working
too.instructables site have some same system scanners and dimensions at box

Hello and nice work you did there
Can you please give me the exact dimensions of the wood sheets and the space between the laser and the object which I want to
scan
Thanks in advance

Hi I am not using the fabscan shield so what code do I remove when I add this
void step()
myStepper.setSpeed(1);
myStepper.step(1);
thanks
Jonathan

Anderson > Jonathan Trahair • 3 years ago
Jonathan, I think that you need remove this code.
/*
//current motor: turn a single step
void step()
{
if(currStepper == TURNTABLE_STEPPER){
digitalWrite(STEP_PIN_0, LOW);
}else if(currStepper == LASER_STEPPER){
digitalWrite(STEP_PIN_1, LOW);
}
delay(3);
if(currStepper == TURNTABLE_STEPPER){
digitalWrite(STEP_PIN_0, HIGH);
}else if(currStepper == LASER_STEPPER){
digitalWrite(STEP_PIN_1, HIGH);
}
delay(3);
}
*/
and add this
void step()
{
myStepper.setSpeed(1);
myStepper.step(1);
}
