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!
