Scan a car

Introduction

You have a 3d scanner and want to add your car to the Calculator ? Yes you can ! 😀 This guide explains how to properly scan a car so it can be added to the calculator.

Tips💡

• OEM suspension (the car must have 100% factory suspension)
• Get in touch with us before scanning a car
• One scan for the front
• One scan for the rear
• Wheels must be straight and on the ground
• ​The scans don't have to be very detailed, 1mm precision is enough
• The scans have to include the following key points, but don't have to be 100% complete 👇

Scan💻

• Whole suspension system, mainly the UCA/LCA rotation points (bushings, ball joints)

• Top and bottom of the shock

• Wheel face

• Fender arch

• Fender liner

• Ground around the wheel (1 foot radius)

Measure📏

• Distance between rim face and the disk brake where it makes contact with the rim (not where the pad rubs)

• Fender arch upper flat part length

• Fender arch upper lip width​

Pictures📷

• Takes a few pictures of each of the wheels's suspension system, just in case something is missing

Files📂

• Identify the files so that we can distinguish the front and the rear
• The scans have to be in OBJ format (.obj, .mtl, .png)
• The files have to be on a cloud space where we can download it
