Mads, working from a 40-ft shipping container workshop, evaluates when 3D scanning justifies the effort and completes his first SLA print on a Formlabs Form 4 printer.0:14 The Shining3D EinScan Rigel Lite scanner is the tool under examination: Mads scans flat acrylic boat windows, a curved catamaran window form, and a small temperature logger, concluding that flat, simple shapes are faster to model directly in CAD while curved or complex geometry is where scanning earns its place.1:32 The Rigel Lite's global marker tracking, removable batteries, and onboard point-cloud-to-mesh processing (under one minute) draw specific praise.8:23 EX-Scan software handles desktop processing; a newly released Mac beta version runs poorly on an M2 Pro chip and requires an M2 Max or Ultra.11:26 For the Form 4 first print, Mads designs a snap-fit wall mount for the temperature logger using scan data, tests the fit with an FDM prototype, then prints the final part in Tough 2000 resin at 0.1 mm layer height.16:56 Post-print workflow covers a 10-minute IPA wash in the Form Wash and a 12-minute UV-and-heat cure at 70°C in the Form Cure.19:36 SLA prints are fully watertight, unlike FDM, making them more suitable for aboard-boat applications.21:13
