Dell Adding MakerBot 3D Printers And Scanners To Lineup

3D Insider is ad supported and earns money from clicks, commissions from sales, and other ways.

After news that Dell had purchased 5,000 3D printers from Zortrax, the PC manufacturer has also announced that it will be adding MakerBot 3D printers and scanners to its US online store by 20th February. Dell is aiming MakerBot’s products at small to medium sized businesses with an emphasis on engineers, architects, and start-ups.

3D printing has moved well beyond early adopters and hobbyists, and is now being utilized regularly in business applications where substantial cost and time-to-market benefits are gained, with IDC predicting that the 3D printer market will see a compound annual revenue growth rate of 29 percent from 2012 to 2017. Businesses are finding that 3D printing provides a cost effective alternative to enlisting off-site or overseas prototyping facilities to create their designs. It gives designers and engineers the ability to quickly chop and change a design, reducing cost and speeding up the development process.

“At Dell we strive to arm start-ups, designers and engineers with the powerful, reliable and cutting-edge technology they need to succeed,” said Andy Rhodes, executive director, Dell Precision workstations. “With the addition of MakerBot’s 3D printers and scanners to Dell’s workstation portfolio, our customers can now bring their innovative prototypes to life much more quickly and affordably.”

“Partnering with Dell is another step in building out the MakerBot 3D Printing Ecosystem that makes 3D printing easy and accessible for everyone,” noted Bre Pettis, CEO of MakerBot. “Dell has done a great job with supporting and enabling small businesses, and we are excited to bring our 3D printing solutions to their customers to unlock their creativity.”

Artec EVA 3D Scanner

A guide to using the Artec EVA 3D Scanner.

The Artec EVA is designed for handheld use and not with a tripod. Each Scanning kit contains:

  • One Artec EVA 3d Scanner

  • One Power Cable

  • One USB Cable

  • One Powerpack with portable power cable

  • A Dell Laptop with power cable

To begin using the scanner, do the following:

  • Turn on the Dell Laptop and log in

  • Plug in the EVA to power and to the laptop

  • Open up Artec Studio. The Artec scanners must be used with the Artec software.

Before scanning your object, ensure that there is adequate room to move around the object, so you can gather data from different angles.

The EVA itself contains three front-facing cameras which converge to a point roughly 700 mm from the scanner. An array of LED strobe lights around the middle camera will flash during operation. The EVA is a Structured Light Technology (SLT) 3D Scanner and uses the cameras to measure the deflection of light on a surface.

The rear of the scanner features an indicator LED, which flashes when in use, and two buttons. A play/pause/preview button and a stop button.

Figure 0.0 - Artec EVA Scanner (3Dscanexpert.com)

Using the Turntable

The turntable or Lazy Susan can be extremely helpful in scanning smaller objects. The turntable has been modified to include registration marks. These registration marks make it easier for the scanner to track the base as a moving object.

Shiny Objects

As the EVA is an SLT scanner, it often has trouble resolving shiny or transparent surfaces. Where possible, these surfaces should be covered with tape or some matte material in order to be scanned correctly. There are spray on powder products on the market for this purpose. For this reason, the scanner also has trouble picking up hair. This is why we recommend wearing a hat for full-body or bust scans

You must use the laptop supplied with the scanner when loaned.

Artec Studio is the only software which we are able to use with the Artec Scanners. The licenses are registered to the specific computers, so students must be given a computer (Dell Laptop) with the scanner.

Artec studio consists of a tool panel on the left-hand side of the screen, a model/preview panel in the centre, and a layer panel on the right.

Figure 1.0 - Artec Studio Interface

After clicking scan to start, or the preview button on the back of the scanner. A preview is generated in the center of the screen.

Reference Video:

Distance Meter

The distance meter refers to the green waveform on the left of the preview pane. The numbers to the left indicate distances (in mm) from the scanner. While the waveform itself represents the information the scanner is detecting. As the cameras are pointed at a fixed distance, for best results when scanning, try to have the majority of the information in between 520 and 880 mm from the device (the green squares). The object will likely cut off if the scanner is too far away or too close to the object.

Features to Track

In the scanning screen, the 'features to track' - in effect a frame of reference for the scanner - is represented with a green outline. The size of this frame should be monitored. The larger the frame, the more information the scanner is able to use as a reference point while moving. If the frame is small, the scanner may lose tracking easily.

Field of View

The scanner should be kept perpendicular to the scanned object. This ensures a larger field of view and will result in the best possible tracking.

Real-Time Fusion

The real-time fusion feature in Artec studio is a fast method to build a 3D model.

Whilst real-time fusion requires little to no post-processing, multiple scans cannot be overlaid upon one another. It is also limited by the processing power of the computer it's used with.

For this reason, real-time fusion should only be used for small objects and quick scans.

In general, the scanner should be used handheld, in a slow and steady motion. The operator should use the computer as a reference rather than the object itself, to ensure stable tracking.

Setting Up

For small objects, make sure the voxel size is 1.0 mm. This can be done in the Artec Studio Settings menu:

File > Settings > Performance > Voxel Size (mm)

Place the object either on the Lazy Susan or in an open area which you are able to move around.

You can select real-time fusion if desired, but deselect [enable automatic base removal]

Start the scan by using the controls either on the computer or on the EVA.

Scanning

For best results, objects should be scanned a number of times, with the object's orientation changed between scans to ensure all fine details are detected.

Using real-time fusion allows you to better monitor 'features to track' as you rotate the object.

Complete one or two full rotations with the object in each orientation.

Head in to the Artec Studio Editor on the right hand side panel.

The first step in manual post-processing is to either delete or hide the 'fusion' layers in the right hand side layer panel. Real Time Fusions cannot be edited.

Reference for Processing:

Base Deletion

  1. 1

    .

    To remove the Base which the model was scanned on, select the [Erase] tool, and choose [Cutoff Plane Detection].

    ​

    Editor > Erase > Cutoff Plane Selection

  2. 2

    .

    Hold down ctrl and select a small portion of the base on opposite sides of the model. This will create a plane.

  3. 3

    .

    By holding ctrl + shift + mouse wheel up or downthis plane can be moved up or down.

  4. 4

    .

    Hit delto delete the plane

  5. 5

    .

    Repeat these steps for each layer in the layer selection panel

Aligning Scans

  1. 1

    .

    Select all scans in the layer selection pane on the right of the screen.

  2. 2

    .

    Hit the [Align] button on the left of the screen

  3. 3

    .

    In the [Rigid] Tab, select all three layers and choose [Auto-alignment]

  4. 4

    .

    Click [Apply]

Figure 3.2 - Aligning Scans

Global Registration

Global Registration refines the data captured across all scans

  1. 1

    .

    Go to [Tools] > [Registration] > [Global Registration]

  2. 2

    .

    Select [Geometry] from the drop down menu

  3. 3

    .

    Hit [Apply]

For objects with little geometric features, choose [texture and geometry] instead

Smooth Fusion

Fusion takes all the scans as point cloud data and creates an output mesh. For the Artec EVA, Smooth Fusion works best.

  1. 1

    .

    Go to [Tools] > [Fusion] > [Smooth Fusion]

  2. 2

    .

    Choose your resolution. This must be the same number or higher than the [Max Error] figure displayed in the layers pane.

  3. 3

    .

    Under [Fill Holes] select [Watertight]

Small-Object Filter

The small-object filter should be used after every fusion. It will remove any small objects or artefacts that may have been detected in scanning, leaving the largest object.

  1. 1

    .

    Choose the small object filter[Tools] > [Postprocessing] > [Small Object Filter]

  2. 2

    .

    Under [Mode] select [Leave_biggest_object]

Some meshes can be extremely large and therefore, difficult to work with afterwards. To check the face/vertices count of the mesh, double click the [Fusion] from the layers pane

If the file is too large, you can reduce the mesh under [Tools] > [Postprocessing] > [Mesh Simplification]

Texture Mapping

  1. 1

    .

    Select your Fusion and go to [Textures]

  2. 2

    .

    Select all scans. This data will be used to fill in the texture information.

  3. 3

    .

    Make sure [inpaint missing textures] is selected

  4. 4

    .

    The textures can be modified in the subsequent menu

Export

To export your file as an .stl or .obj go to [File] > [Export Meshes]

When attempting to scan a body the two main things to note are:

  1. 1

    .

    Hair is extremely difficult and a hat/cap should be worn by the model

  2. 2

    .

    Legs should be scanned one at a time, taking care to capture the floor

Dell Latitude Rugged 5404 Core i7 - where "Macbooks" fail

Fashionable and stylish ultrabooks are not suitable for working in fields, forests and tundra. The fan will suck in dust, the keyboard will get clogged with sand, and a fall from a height will be fatal. If your job is out of town, the Dell Latitude Rugged 5404 Core i7 is rugged and weatherproof.

Design

All rugged laptops look like armored soldiers. In general, the way it is. Black carbon fiber panels are attached to the magnesium alloy frame, the corners are covered with bumpers. All ports are sealed with rubber bands and closed with snap-on lids.

Results - in MIL-810 tests. A fall from a meter-long table, water dust and a sandstorm are transferred by the gadget without harm. Operating temperatures are also not for children, from -29 to + 63 ° С.

Dimensions 347x243 mm, thickness is quite decent - 44 mm, definitely not an ultrabook. Due to strong armor and a large battery, the weight reaches 2.9 kg. It is recommended to carry by the rubber handle, there are also holes for the shoulder strap.

Screen, camera and sound

The screen diagonal is 14 inches and that's not bad - the readings of equipment sensors will be clearly visible. For work in the air and under the sun, the matrix backlight is enhanced - up to 500 cd / m2, the screen is also made matte and anti-glare. Contrast and viewing angles are excellent.

In some configurations there is a touch layer, you can work with your fingers or a stylus, for example, if your hands are wearing gloves.

The camera is quite simple, with a resolution of 1080P, covered with a dust curtain.

Sounds are emitted by a single speaker, the main thing is that it is loud. An industrial laptop is still not for a disco.

Keyboard and input devices

A full-fledged keyboard without a numeric keypad fits on the top panel of the laptop, only functional ones - 2 times narrower. It is convenient to work on it, even with gloves. The island keys are clearly pressed, the electronics are not afraid of water. If there is little light around, the backlight turns on - 4 colors to choose from.

A touchpad with hard keys is available for cursor control. To protect the entrance to the operating system - a fingerprint scanner.

Hardware and battery

Processor configurations are different, mainly fourth-generation Intel CPUs, there are options with a discrete graphics card - you can play simple 3D games. Office programs are fast. Storage - SSD only for speed and extra shock protection.

There are enough ports for work, a COM port is provided for connecting to controllers.

Battery provides up to 6 hours of typical use with Wi-Fi enabled. For most tasks, this is fine.

Conclusions

A laptop that can be dropped in sand or flooded with water is a real find for representatives of harsh professions. Such gadgets are rarely available for sale - they are supplied to order for corporations.

Therefore, if you need a brutal laptop to work in the field or just to create a cool image - you should take it without hesitation, you won't regret it.

Used business and premium laptops.
