Análisis, diseño e implementación de impresoras gastronómicas 3D : Análisis, diseño y simulación de scanner 3D de comida.

Abstract

This project will present the development of the three-dimensional scanning process using the Microsoft Kinect as the main device. This instrument has the capacity to recognize human forms or objects (in this particular case, food) and, through the benefits offered by the KScan3D software, it is possible to capture images (photographs) of food and proceed to digitize them.

In the aforementioned software you can configure the range that the Kinect will have in each of the axes (vertical, horizontal and deepness) to capture the greatest amount of food area. After proceed to combine the total number of images and then proceed to smooth this resulting image, next with the help of another software called Meshmixer fix the spaces that have remained after processing in the first program. In Meshmixer, thanks to the analysis that is integrated in the software itself, the points that have been left without information are eliminated and they are filled so that when the final file with the .STL extension is sent, it is to a new software where it can be modified in some way or also to a 3D printer with the ability to directly read this type of file, the resulting figure will be completely closed and with the approximate relief of the original model
