Comment on Is it possible to 3D scan a motorcycle helmet and make smaller replicas?
Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 1 day agoThank you. Will pass it on. (Excuse my ignorance in advance not knowing exact terms) I think the best way would be to copy original helmet and scale down, make more copies to cover all the 1st responders. Do a photo scan of surface with signatures etc and wrap it on helmets. Best of both worlds. Not that I know what I am doing. I am sure we will figure it out.

Doing a single colour print and then copy paint onto it sounds really hard. I wouldn’t even know which process to use for that.

Not paint. Scan the whole outside of helmet, print it on a wrap and wrap around the helmet is the idea.

Yeah, that’s what I mean. I wouldn’t even know how to get a wrap onto a complex 3D print.

I have yet to see the helmet and the damage it received(it’s in transit). Guess would depend on how not smooth it is.
