Watch video to get a look at how Project Memento works. For example, engineers could employ the Artec scanners and the Project Memento service to scan a manufactured component and compare the 3D scan to the original 3D CAD model to see how the unit degrades over time, Lykhin explained. The technology, which originated from Autodesk Labs’ work around 2D images and point clouds, can be leveraged in a variety of engineering and manufacturing workflows, including design and quality control use cases. The technology is also being designed with a clean, modern user interface and set of tools that will allow users to get up and running on reality capture workflows without prior knowledge of CAD systems, Autodesk says. It creates a forum for creating and sharing very large 3D mesh models, making it easy to consume those models in workflows that encompass other Autodesk 3D modeling tools like Inventor or AutoCAD. In addition to the integration work, Project Memento itself takes steps to streamline the reality capture process. The current workflow for creating high-quality 3D models from scanners is fairly complex, involving multiple expensive tools and requiring users to have a good amount of training and domain expertise. I have tried using the autodesk memento but did not receive good results at all on a part I was trying to have scanned.

Memento software aims to simplify that process and thus make reality computing accessible to a variety of users. Creating useful and meaningful 3D models from reality, however, is quite a challenging and tedious process that is slow and requires expertise and use of multiple and expensive solutions. Image Courtesy of ArtecĪs a result of the partnership, Autodesk and Artec have been working to enable Eva and Spider models to easily output scans directly to Autodesk’s Project Memento for mesh and modeling work with minimal effort. Scanners and cameras are becoming ubiquitous and they enable us to digitize the world around us. Memento has just recently been upgraded from an Autodesk Labs project to a Beta which probably means it will be. Artec’s Eva and Spider industrial 3D scanners will be integrated with Autodesk’s 3D CAD products. Autodesk Memento is an end-to-end solution for converting any captured reality input (photos or scans) into high definition 3D meshes that can be cleaned up, fixed, and optimized for the Web, mobile or 3D printing / fabbing.
