drain hole for sparkplug? ct scan view
Posted: Fri Sep 02, 2011 7:53 pm
I looked up CT Scan right after I asked. That's very interesting. How did you get access to a scanner? I actually know about 3D CAD modeling since it's what I do for a living. I use both Pro/Engineer and CATIA. So what was the result of your test?

Yes and no, it's a CT scan of a KLR650 head. The data from the CT scan
can be turned into a CAD model, but right now it's just voxel (a pixel
is a point in 2D space, a voxel is a volume in 3D space) data set, and
it's about 1.5GB in size.
I did this a few years ago to see what can be done with the stock head
to improve performance, and if there was enough meat in some areas to do
any porting.
