Set up and produce a 3D scan

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to set up and operate a three-dimensional (3D) scanner to scan a 3D object and output data to a specified data file type.

It applies to individuals working in technical fields who utilise 3D images for graphical, artistic and manufacturing applications.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)



Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Prepare object to be scanned

1.1 Size and complexity of the object to be scanned is determined

1.2 Output requirements of scan are determined from specifications and confirmed with client

1.3 Appropriate scanner is selected to suit the type and complexity of object to be scanned

1.4 Object is surface treated according to the scanner's operating requirements

1.5 Object is oriented for the most efficient scan

2. Prepare scanner

2.1 Scanner is checked and adjusted in readiness for operation according to manufacturer's operating procedures

2.2 Any malfunctions are reported to relevant personnel for repair or maintenance in accordance with organisational procedures

2.3 Tolerance level of the scanner is set to achieve the most effective scan that meets client output specifications

3. Operate scanner

3.1 Scanner is operated efficiently according to manufacturer's operating procedures and the organisation's work health and safety (WHS) procedures

3.2 Scanner settings are monitored and adjusted to ensure an effective scan

3.3 Scanner files are retrieved according to manufacturer's operating procedures

3.4 Scanner is shut down and reset according to organisational and manufacturer's operating procedures

4. Prepare output file ready for end user

4.1 Scanner files are downloaded to computer

4.2 Data and images are checked to confirm quality meets client specifications

4.3 Scanner output files are converted into the specified file format

4.4 Data files are presented to the client to confirm specifications have been met

Evidence of the ability to:

communicate with client to ascertain needs

determine scan requirements from client specifications and object criteria

select an appropriate scanner and prepare the surface of the object

prepare the scanner and orient the object effectively

scan the object safely and efficiently

create files from scanner to client specifications.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

describe the common three-dimensional (3D) scanner technologies and their respective applications

evaluate a range of objects to be scanned and select an appropriate scanner and the treatments to be applied

list and describe current industries where 3D scanning is used

identify the safety requirements when using 3D scanners

explain the importance of adjusting or considering scale, units of measurement, calibration, distance from subject, tolerance, and resolution for efficient 3D scans

specify the output file types for various applications, including but not limited to, the following file extensions:

STL - standard triangle language/standard tessellation language file format

OBJ - geometry definition file format

PLY - polygon file format

VRML - virtual reality modelling language file format

XYZ/PTX - point cloud file formats

AMF - additive manufacturing file format

describe the file conversion process required to prepare files for various applications.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the printing and graphic arts field of work and include access to:

a 3D model

a 3D scanner

specifications for scanner output files

organisational and manufacturers' operating procedures.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.


Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
