For my integrated engineering class, I worked with a team to create a 3D scanner using an IR sensor, two servos, and laser-cut wood. My role was primarily to develop the software, but I also helped with brainstorming the mechanical and electrical design. Our goal was to be able to scan cardboard letters and generate a visualization of our scan in which one could clearly see the chosen letter. We did this with an Arduino script that completed the scan and then sent the data via Serial to Python. The data was saved as a CSV and then constructed to plot the letters. Below is the scan of an A and M, as well as a picture of the pan tilt.
