Another example of a 3D model generated using only photographs!

Have you ever heard of making a 3D picture with a camera? I mean a picture where you can actually look at the back side of something. This video demonstrates a process of converting a bunch of photos into a 3D model. The object is a boat motor mounting bracket that fractured after the boat struck an under water pipeline. 124 photos were used to create something called a "point cloud." The point cloud contained 11.9 million points! From the point cloud we developed a 3D model that had the correct surface texture and color. This process is valuable for us in failure analysis because sometimes we need to cut up evidence into little pieces to do metallurgical testing, but this process allows us to still have our cake after we have eaten it. More videos with audio description to follow!

Did you know that we have a digital employee at Bartlett Engineering? We call him SolidWorks Sam, and you can find him starring in many of our 3D computer accident reconstructions. Sam is a 3D human CAD model, and he can stand in a dangerous place without us risking an OSHA fine. Poor Sam gets more abuse than Wile E. Coyote; but placing him in a model lets us depict how a person would "fit" and be affected by an accident.
