abstract
Nowadays, with the availability of 3D printers, the
scanners for objects are becoming increasingly present since they
allow to replicate objects by 3D printing, especially for small scale
sizes. However, the majority of these technologies are expensive,
due to the complexity of this task. Therefore, this work presents
a prototype of a low-cost 3D scanning system for small objects
using a point cloud to stereolithography approach where it was
already validated in simulation in previous work. This concept
has a restriction that the objects must have a uniform shape,
i.e, without discontinuities. The architecture is composed of two
stepper motors, due to their precision, a rotating plate to allow
360 degrees scans and another rotating structure that allows the
infrared distance sensor to scan the object from bottom to top
(90 degrees). The pr
