Kinect-Based Measuring for 3D Printing of Assistive Technologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many assistive technologies, although designed to enhance quality of life, become a headache for users. Price, fit, and comfort level are chief assailants in the total acceptance of certain assistive technologies – for many AT users, “one size fits all” doesn’t. By utilizing software developed to integrate Microsoft Kinect, openSCAD, and MakerBot 3D printers, we strove to develop a system intended to create easily affordable and customizable assistive technology. Through the use of Kinect, images would be captured that could measure depth. These measurements would be sent to openSCAD in order to change the parameters of pre-created 3D models. From there, the data would be sent to MakerBot for 3D printing of a low cost, ideally high comfort, assistive technology.

RGB-D cameras, also known as range imaging cameras, are a recent generation of sensors. As they are suitable for measuring distances to objects at high frame rate, such sensors are increasingly used for 3D acquisitions, and more generally for applications in robotics or computer vision. This kind of sensors became popular especially since the Kinect v1 (Microsoft) arrived on the market in Novem...
