For automotive enthusiasts and professionals at carparteu.com, utilizing 3D scanning technology represents a significant leap forward in customization and repair. Employing 3D scans as a reference during the design phase of car parts is truly transformative. At HPA, we consistently leverage 3D scanning to craft bespoke components for our project vehicles, ensuring flawless fitment, aesthetic appeal, and optimal functionality.
While we occasionally employ commercial-grade scanning services, smartphone-based 3D scanning is increasingly becoming our go-to method, delivering impressive outcomes with remarkable efficiency.
My personal experience, particularly with the Trnio app on my iPhone 11 (utilizing ARKIT mode), highlighted the simplicity of capturing scans, conducting reviews, processing data, and seamlessly transferring it to Fusion360. The affordable price point of around $5.00 for the app made it an invaluable tool.
Although Trnio is no longer available for iOS since mid-2023, its legacy as a reference point remains. Currently, I am exploring alternatives like RealityScan from Unreal Engine, and I intend to provide updates on its performance in due course.
My direct experience is primarily within the Apple iOS ecosystem. Therefore, I am reaching out to the wider carparteu.com community to collaboratively build a resource list encompassing applications for Apple, Android, and other operating systems.
Your input is highly valued. Please share your experiences, both positive and negative, with any 3D scanning applications you have utilized, detailing your workflow and results.
