For the past year I have been working on designing some parts for my 240Z and my S13 using a Faro Platinum Arm I got. After I tried to get a GoFund me campaign for a laser scanner so I could start a free website where CAD scans would be readily available was shot down by everyone that commented on it.
So now I have a Faro Laser scanner and will start off scanning in things I need for now it will be VK56DE, RB26DETT, SR20DET, LS1, L Series, CD009, S13, and 240Z. I will be working towards getting a larger scanner but am in the process of starting the website which will have a $350 yearly membership, or you will be able to download files at a higher fee without a membership.
The files will be IGES files that can be opened in any CAD software. The main purpose behind this is for easy design and once I get the larger scanner and can scan in whole chassis which was my original plan, designing one off or production parts will be simple and require no test fitting.
This will also include aero I plan on scanning the full S13 aero and once I have enough cash to build a large enough injection mold I will be reproducing legit ABS injection molded S13 aero. It is a lot of work for just one person so don't expect it to happen overnight a block like the VK after I scan it has 300,000,000 points that I have to edit and mesh. I will post up the website link here closer to the end of the year once I feel I have enough scans to justify charging a membership fee.
The above images are not scans it was a point cloud from the Faro Platinum of a RB26 and RB30 and is a custom RB36 that I am designing for my 240Z. I do not think there will be that huge of interest on here but once I get finished with my projects I am going to start with the Porsche 911 and Subaru STI
