Summary

In this online camp, participants will need to attend 5 days, each day they will have to attend a one-hour class to learn about 3D design, 3D scanning, and digital manufacturing.

 

What You'll Need

Computer, Internet connection, 3Dscanner (optional).

The Instructions

Day 1 - Technologies of 3D scanning

3D scanning technology is used for creating 3D models of real-world objects. In this session participants will get introduced to some types of 3D scanning technologies and their related applications, then they will get introduce to Sense 3D scanner and learn how an object can be scanned.

when starting the first day introduce participants to the camp, for example, tell them “Today we are going to start sport tech camp to explore 3D scanning, 3d design, and what technologies are used in digital manufacturing.

In this camp, you will need to attend 5 days during the week, each day you will have a one-hour class, and on the last day, you will be asked to conduct a final project.”

After explaining about the camp, introduce the ENGINEERING DESIGN CHALLENGE, which is a problem that they need to solve.

EX: Saleh is a Boling player looking to be the best and win the title of the champion.

Saleh doesn’t feel comfortable with the bowling ball size, so he is asking for you’re help to customize one that fits with his hand and its related pins so he can win and be the champion.

 

after they finish reading the challenge ask them some questions

How to know what is the best bat size for Saleh grip?

     We should measure the size of Fahed hands.

What are technologies available to take the measurements of something?

introduce 3D scanning and how it can be used to measure 3D objects

Have you heard about 3D scanning?

 

 

 

tell them In this class, you’ll learn everything you need to know to use your camera to take objects from the world around you and turn them into 3D models on your smartphones! I’ll introduce you to the basic concepts of 3D scanning and teach you an easily accessible method of reality capture called photogrammetry. Then I’ll show you how to use a great program called Qlone that will magically reconstruct your photos into 3D models.

 

Photogrammetry is an incredibly useful technology in various fields. The technology takes multiple images, taken at different positions, and triangulates points in these images to figure out the location of them in a three-dimensional space. 

structured light 3d scanning – provides extremely precise measurements for small objects.

 

Show them a video about the structured light

For the photogrammetry 3D scanning I showed to them how to scan myself with sense 3D scanner

 

introduce more smartphone photogrammetry 3D scanners such as I sense and Qlone app

3D Systems iSense 3D scanner

A photogrammetry scanner, 3D Systems iSense, is a quite capable scanner for its class. It’s very simple to operate, as a user simply opens up the application, selects the item to be scanned and conducts the scan. However, the technology is only compatible with iOS systems, which means scans will not be compatible with other systems such as Android and Windows.

Qlone scanner

 

at the end of the session ask participants to prepare the mat paper in order to use Qlone app to scan 3D objects in the next session

Day 2 - Scanning models

In this lesson, participants will use a 3D scanning mobile application (Qlone) to scan related objects and generate a 3D model, then they will be introduced to 3D modeling web-based tool - Vactary that will enable them to import and create 3d models and modify them.

Show a video that will explain how to use Qlone App

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Introduce Vectary software and ask participants to create accounts

 

 

Day 3 - 3D printing and modifying objects

3D printing technology is already changing the way that we produce objects, from tools and toys and even body parts, in this session, participants will get introduced to 3D printing technology and its applications, then they will learn new tools in Vectary software to design a bowling ball.

Day 4 - 3D design

On this day, participants will get introduced to Cura a Computer-Aided manufacturing software, then they will learn some design considerations for 3D printing. In the end, they will be introduced to more advanced tools in Vectary to create 3D models of a bowling pin.

Day 5 - Sport equipment design

On the last day, participants will get introduced to some new tools in Vectary such as the materials and textures then they will be asked to conduct their final project and make new shapes of sports equipment related to the bowling game.

 

the following pictures are the designs made by my students

 

Standards
