  • Design of an information capturing and visualization system of the visitors of Aalto University Design Factory
    (2013) Trivino Massó, Carles
     School of Engineering |
    Aalto University Design Factory, one of the spearhead projects of the recently formed Aalto University, is a meeting point for students, educators and practitioners from the fields of engineering, design and business. The Design Factory is a constantly evolving experimental platform for interdisciplinary education and collaboration related to product development. As Design Factory continues to grow from its birth four years ago, it is gaining worldwide interest, hosting various courses, along with projects, events and visits from different universities, institutions and companies, both national and international. This continuing development has presented a need for a system to efficiently collect information needed to help document visitors and activities. This thesis depicts a design project with the main goal of designing a system that helps capturing information from the visitors of the Design Factory in an easy, organized and programmable way. This system enables the Design Factory to start a database of visual and contact information of the people for internal documentation, research and external promotion and communication. As an outcome of the design project, a basic working prototype of the system was developed and provided to Design Factory for testing and further development. The system development process follows general product and systems design and project engineering methodologies and procedures with the documentation and reflections of the author serving as a future reference for development of similar types of projects.
  • Search of a cost-effective 3D scanning system
    (2013) Etayo, Alvaro
     School of Engineering |
    Optical reconstruction techniques to digitize objects require expensive and complex equipment. This project proposes the design and assembly of a 3D laser scanning system with available scan control software, concerning about low-cost alternatives, the only hardware requirements are a light source and a digital camera. The goal of this work is the evaluation design of a cost-effective system for 3D data acquisition, so the reconstructed geometry is exportable to CAD programs. The work evaluates the performance of different commercial scanners available, and the imaging standards are reviewed to have a framework for the performance evaluation process of each scanning device. The proposed cost-effective device is based on the structured light technique, and the hardware and software is selected according to parameters of the intended scanner characteristic in order to accomplish the best solution for optical 3D imaging.
