Measuring Features on a Mesh Without a CAD Model

By |2020-12-09T08:13:32-05:00December 9th, 2020|Categories: 3D Scanning, 3d Scanning & Reverse Engineering, Inspection|0 Comments

While most inspection software will use a nominal CAD model during the inspection process for comparison of manufactured features to exact CAD features, Control X can perform a feature-by-feature analysis without utilizing a CAD model. This can come in very handy when a CAD model doesn’t exist for inspection and just a 2D drawing is used. The first step is to import just the mesh file or point cloud into Control X. As a reminder, [...]
