Reverse Engineering Spotlight: Volvo
A custom dashcam cover for a Volvo, developed from 3D scans and prototypes. One of my more challenging reverse engineering projects, and worth the time.

Reverse Engineering: Blower Fan
A broken squirrel-cage fan from an air hockey table, 3D scanned, rebuilt in SolidWorks and printed in PLA as a 1:1 replacement in a couple of days.
Start From Scratch
3D scanning is the process of digitally capturing the shape and appearance of real-world objects and environments. Using cameras, lasers, or AI, these techniques convert physical spaces into data that can be viewed, shared, and manipulated on a computer. Over the past few years, 3D scanning has exploded in accessibility — what once required expensive hardware can now be done with a smartphone. This site explores the different methods used to create 3D captures, with a focus on an exciting new technique called Gaussian Splatting.

F.A.Q.
Do I need expensive equipment to 3D Scan?
Not anymore, thanks to photogrammetry and now gaussian splatting, it is possible to get near photorealistic models with just a smartphone camera.
What’s the difference between a point cloud and a mesh?
A point cloud is just the collection of raw points that are in a 3D space. A mesh is what connects these points into triangles, creating an entire surface from the point cloud.
What type of 3D scanning is best for my project?
The answer depends on your needs. Assess the size of your project, what detail you need, and what equipment you have to run the necessary programs. The “Learning the Methods” section will break down the strengths of each.
