 For the 3d scan project I wanted to make an object that could be used everyday. This is the Chopper. It is a every day tool for kitchen for slicing and dicing fruits, vegetables, and much more.

We started by making a foam model in the shop then scanning it in on the 3d scanner. It is very interesting how you can take an object and use lasers to capture such minuet details. I did not think the scanner was going to be accurate enough to pick up all the imperfections in the foam modeling but it did. After scanning we imported the file into Rapidworks to fill the holes. Before importing the object to rapidworks there were many more holes in the model making it very rough. After using rapid works we exported and .igs file for use in Rhino. In Rhino I decided to really clean up my object even more and make it sleek. I used the scan mesh toe trace and create profiles for curves in order to perform sweep. I also the the bend command and filleting.

In Keyshot I render the original mesh in a metal material just to show how much surface texture the foam had. I also modeled my finished model in a combination of steel blades, with a rubber grip handle and pained connectors. I used a 2k lighting environment for the rendering.
