3D-Bodycanning: A market research basedapproach for rotary table selection

Abstract: This report provides a recommendation for the purchase of a rotary table intendedmainly for 3D body scanning. This recommendation is presented to FabLab,Halmstad University. The proposal is based on the needs and requirements discussed and defined among group members, clients and other stakeholders. The main requirement is that the product can be programmed and controlled by acomputer. This requirement was strengthened through the execution of a pairwise comparison. A broad market research is described and methods that have been used to achieve the results. In order to better understand how much the load will affect the product, a force measurement test was performed and analyzed. Earlier reports about reverse engineering, different applications and scanning techniques provide a deeper understanding of factors that may affect the selection of the product.
