In this video we are going to walk through several different motorcycle parts comparing surface finishes to figure out what kinds of parts will scan what and what will give you trouble. We will be using an Einscan Pro HD and Turntable that is on loan to me through Shinning 3d.

We will be scanning a black anodized triple clamp, cast aluminum brake lever, and a clear anodized and primered version of a bar clamp. Which parts will scan OK and which will be a problem?

In the next video we will be importing the mesh into Fusion 360 and walking through how to reverse engineer the part off of the scan data. If you would like to give it a shot on your own or want to see how the scan looks after export you can download the file here. https://a360.co/3lmGIZm
