Prairie Seating - wheelchair seat imaging

Prairie Seating manufactures custom cushions for wheelchair bound individuals. They needed an affordable 3D scanning solution which offered a wide capture range, fast acquisition speed, and was very easy to use. VanGogh Imaging was able to meet Prairie’s requirements by combining a photo-based solution, using an off-the-shelf digital camera, with the Vincent auto-registration technology.

Extracting a 3D model of a custom wheelchair seat using photo-based 3D acquisition and auto-registration technologies.

	Digital stereo camera from Point Grey Solutions.
	Digital stereo camera attached to a mechanical arm pointing at Prairie Seating's custom "molding chair" which is used to capture a patient’s contour in order to make custom wheelchair seats.

Fully registered Point Cloud 3D Model of the chair.

STL compatible 3D Model that can be imported into any CAD software

All the holes are filled in and all six scans are merged into a complete 3D model.
The entire process took about four minutes.
