As a LDraw parts author, I am always interested to find new ways to model
LEGO parts. Many parts have a clear geometric structure and are relatively
easy to create, but parts like minifig animals or wigs have no defined
geometric shape and are very difficult to model. I toyed for a while with the
idea of a 3D scanner... The solution came with 2008 LEGO Technic sets that
include a new part, the linear actuator. Coupled with the high resolution of
NXT encoder, I had all the elements to build a 3D scanner, precise enough for
my purpose.
You’ll find here photos, videos,
LDraw files and a little tutorial on the way to turn the scans into shapes
suitable for LDraw parts creation.
Enjoy!
