Escáner 3D: obtención de perfiles y medición de deformaciones de piezas mecánicas en 3 dimensiones a través de una interfaz gráfica en MATLAB

摘要

This project is concerned with the design and construction of an academic study tool, a 3D scanner, that allows mechanical deformation analysis of small-scale pieces. With the scanner, it would be posible to visualize both, the surface of a mechanical piece in regular and steady state and the surface of the same piece after being deformated. This would permit to compare and measure the changes in the structure. In fact, the device is intended for engineering students, in particular to Mechanical Engineering students who specialize in the area of materials engineering and mechanical deformations.The project comprises three stages: the construction of a mechanical system to move and hold the mechanical piece to be scanned; programming a robotic arm, which would hold the laser sensor that scans the piece; and finally, programming a microcontroller (Arduino UNO) and a graphic user interface (GUI) in MATLAB. That way, it would be to posible analyze the data collected by the sensor in a user friendly interface and control automatically the system.
