How to Inspect a Scan Without a CAD Model

By |2021-02-26T08:50:36-05:00February 26th, 2021|Categories: 3D Scanning, 3d Scanning & Reverse Engineering|

When using Control X for inspection, you are usually comparing one scan file to another scan file, or a scan file to a nominal CAD file. But sometimes you may have the need to inspect or measure a one-off part without a CAD file to compare it to. This blog post will explain how to take an isolated 3D scan in Control X and take measurements from it. In the example part above we have [...]

Creating a Water-Tight Model from CAT scan

By |2021-02-24T08:22:36-05:00February 24th, 2021|Categories: 3D Scanning|

This blog post will show you an advanced method to clean up internal portions of a CAT scan with the goal of creating a water-tight model. When processing CAT scan data the biggest challenge is cleaning up the geometry. Typically, the internal geometry of a CAT scan contains disconnected poly-faces, which makes it difficult to select and delete only the unwanted geometry. A good example of this is a CAT scan of a bone, as [...]
