This video provides an in-depth look at Eclipse Holsters' state-of-the-art manufacturing process for custom Kydex holsters. The facility emphasizes speed and customization, capable of producing and shipping a custom holster in three business days or less. Key technologies include 3D scanning for mold creation, vacuum forming with Kydex heated to 400°F, and precise CNC cutting. Customers can personalize various aspects, from Kydex colors and patterns to accessory attachments and washer colors, ensuring a unique and functional product.
T.REX ARMS is releasing their extensive collection of 3D gun scan data to foster innovation in the civilian defense industry. This data, gathered using 3D scanners and meticulous measurement, can be used by holster makers and other builders to create custom tooling, thermoforming molds, and various accessories. The initiative aims to decentralize innovation and accelerate product development, mirroring the rapid advancements seen in aviation history.
T.REX ARMS is releasing open-source files for tactical gear and firearm components, leveraging advanced 3D scanning technology. This initiative, utilizing industrial equipment like Shining 3D scanners, aims to foster community-driven development and manufacturing of firearm-related items. The process involves creating high-fidelity digital models and technical blueprints, making them publicly accessible on their website.
This video showcases three Sikh artifacts—a Quoit turban, a shield, and a helmet—rendered in stunning 3D by the Royal Armouries in collaboration with The Sikh Museum Initiative. The video features Natasha Bennett (Curator of Oriental Collections), Gurinder Singh Mann (historian and Director of The Sikh Museum Initiative), and Taran Singh (3D expert and designer). They discuss the history, cultural significance, and the advanced 3D scanning process used to make these objects accessible to a wider audience in a virtual museum. The presentation highlights cutting-edge techniques in digitizing historical arms and armour.
This video highlights Anir custom-molded ear protection, addressing common discomfort and noise reduction issues with standard ear pro. The speaker emphasizes the exceptional comfort and effectiveness of Anir earplugs, which are created using a 3D scanning process of the user's ear canal for a perfect fit. This custom approach ensures they stay in place without pressure and effectively block out firearm noise while allowing for normal conversation.
This video details the Springfield Armory's exploration of 3D printing and scanning for museum education. The presenter, Scott, outlines the process of acquiring a 3D printer and scanner, the challenges faced, and the potential applications for creating educational tools and exhibits. The focus is on leveraging these technologies to enhance public engagement with firearms history and promote STEAM education.
This guide details the process of creating custom Kydex holster molds using 3D scanning and modeling techniques, as demonstrated by Isaac Botkin from T.REX ARMS. It covers capturing firearm geometry with a 3D scanner, cleaning and rebuilding mesh data in software like Lightwave 3D, and preparing the model for CNC machining. The emphasis is on achieving precise fit and function for high-quality holsters.
This guide details the process of using the Einscan-SP 3D scanner for creating precise molds for Kydex holsters, as demonstrated by Isaac Botkin from T.REX ARMS. The scanner's structured light technology captures detailed surface contours, enabling the creation of accurate CNC molds. This method significantly improves R&D efficiency and the final fit and retention of custom holsters, especially for firearms with specific accessory combinations like the Sig Sauer P320 X5 with a SureFire X300 Ultra.
