3d scanning a complete helicopter in less than 30 minutes...

On 14th September 2023 Central Scanning had the opportunity to scan a Chinnok transport helicopter at RAF Csoford.

Using the Artec Ray II we were very quickly able to capture not only the Chinook but, with its 130m range, we captured the entire hanger!

The scan took around 25 minutes moving the scanner to various positions to get as much coverage as possible without the need for any targets. Scanning at its lowest resolution each scan took around 26 seconds.
 
Processing to a final mesh was done within Artec Studio and took around 30 minutes once the unwanted data was removed.
 
Even at its lowest resolution however, small details such the rivets can still be seen.
 
The Artec Ray is available for demonstration from us here at Central Scanning.
