Awesome video and thanks for sharing. Starting off with my first project with making a bracket for a Volvo electric power steering pump that I want to run in my drift car. I have a scan of the pump and learning fusion 360 as I go. Wasn't sure of the pricing for send cut send but that seems very affordable. Can't wait to be at that point!
Great application for scanning for sure! Thankfully there’s a ton of resources out there for learning Fusion. Don’t forget to use my 15% off code link in bio to save yourself some money 🤙🏻
I've to a RevoPoint scanner and it never works well for me. I've used an Einstar scanner now. Its still pretty cheap for a 3D scanner ($1000), but works SO much better than RevoPop software. Great video though.
I've heard great things about the Einstar. There's definitely an art to getting good results from the Revopoint, but with the help of Solidworks and Blender it's definitely manageable. Once I make the big bucks I'll upgrade to the Peel3d.
Way cool and inspiring man! The years keep passing while my car skills develop. Markets and technology change rapidly. 15 years ago you couldn't buy cheap performance parts on eBay and amazon. That's been huge. Now I'm a mechanical engineer and it's still hard to keep up with all my interests and technologies related to my car interests. I thought my iPhone 12 premix with lidar was going to be a 3d scanner for me. Haven't checked in the last year but the apps available have been pretty bad with it to build off of. 3d scanners are expensive and at the early stages of price to performance where whatever you buy will be cheaper and better tomorrow it seems like. I'm already a cad jockey but haven't been able to use it much with car projects due to lack of scanning. Any tips to get started with scanning? Is it like you? $600-$800 just for a scanner to get started?
I've attempted to work with the iPhone lidar camera for scanning but it's definitely not ideal. If you're unsure how much use you'll get out of it, the revopoint is a great introductory scanner and one of the cheapest.
I always add planes to the stl file and there’s a few options to do this. In solidworks you can use the 3d to scan feature and add planes simply by clicking on 3 points on a surface. The other way that it can be done is to use the free program Blender and setup your orientation planes by eye which can get you surprisingly accurate results. You basically just need to manipulate the orientation of the part until it can be moved flush with the plane you’re trying to reference off of. This has its limitations though as you can only use it to reference the orientation planes vs adding multiple in solidworks to any surface.
This was such a good and informative video. I must say it is yet another example I am grateful to be able to work in metric but unfortunately that also means I don’t have send cut send in my country 🥲
I wish you had this video out when i started scanning. Very useful information 👍
Great job, this car will be built really well.
Wow. Ive learned so much. Having such a hard time learning solid works but you cleared some things up for me. Thank you!!!
This was a great video! 🙌
Thank you!!
I was really hoping you were going to show how you made each plane and built the parts in SolidWorks
@@Dongaz open 3d scan part file - reference geometry toolbar - plane - pick three points - done
It’s a t56 transmission mount. Thanks for the informative video..

Great E2E video! 😊
Thanks!
LETS GET IT ! 🔥
Had no idea. Well done!
Everything looks really good. But I suspect that crossmember will need a flange or two to maintain strength.
Keep going🔥🔥💪

This is awesome! I'll be doing this process tomorrow
Solidworks is a nightmare, its too hard to learn, im long time user of Archicad, but the solidwork is on another level of hellish difficulty

tell me where you bought the ati pulley for the power steering pump, the one that is smaller than the diameter?
The ATI damper I bought is the 6.78" OD one required for the Rad Industries KRC pump kit. You can find it at rad-industries.com
Were you able to create sketches off the stl file or did you create planes as close to the stl surface as possible?
I always add planes to the stl file and there’s a few options to do this. In solidworks you can use the 3d to scan feature and add planes simply by clicking on 3 points on a surface. The other way that it can be done is to use the free program Blender and setup your orientation planes by eye which can get you surprisingly accurate results.

Damn I have no talent
