Development of shell and supportive structure for a horseback riding simulator

Abstract

This thesis presents a part of a project of Laboratory of Intelligent Machines, LUT University, and perform the development method of how shell and supportive structure for a horseback riding simulator can be produced. It consists of a scanning method of a moving object, processing the giving model after, and preparing a supportive structure for the manufactory. In this thesis, scanning was done by implementing two units: Leica RTC360 and Leica BLK360. The next following model processing was done in Geomagic Design X and Autodesk Meshmixer. The supportive structure was modeled, and strength calculation was introduced in SolidWorks, the structure was produced and assembled as an outcome.
