Do you know of someone who can scan a full sized motorcycle here in San Diego?

Kent and John,
Our equipment is not capable of large components like a full engine or bike or car. Components may be scanned or modeled and printed and assembled as you would an engine. That way you can build large assemblies.
You need to find someone with a portable 3D Scanner, like Handy Scan 3D (
www.creaform3d.com). This is used by a lot of aftermarket accessory companies. It assembles a model as you run the scanner over the item as you would a paintgun.
I don't know of any folks in San Diego who do this but did a quick Google.

I get a Technical Magazine "Time Compression" that deals with rapid prototyping. (timecompression.com).
Hope this helps you....Why do you want the scan? The engine can be modeled on Solidworks also.
