Simultaneous Synchronized Scanning
This blog post is going to show you how to scan a mid-size part with tiny features. When scanning a model, you’re usually faced with the decision of using a scanner that either has a large scan envelope and good resolution, or a scanner that has a small scan envelope with high resolution. But what if you needed the best of both worlds, that is, […]
Infinite Build 3D Printer
There’s a revolutionary new technology in 3D printing called the Stratasys Infinite Build. 3D printing has provided a means to produce highly accurate parts in a variety of build sizes. With production machines like the Fortus 900 and Objet 1000, industry leaders in both aerospace and automotive have been able to experiment with increasingly larger prototypes and production parts. Nonetheless, there has always been a ceiling (or […]
Geomagic Design X
With Geomagic Design X software you can easily produce a fully featured, editable, native CAD model, directly from a scan.
What is Design X? Design X software is a tool that enables you to recognize geometrical features on a scan, utilize them to create CAD features, then transfer that tree of features directly out to the feature tree of your CAD system. Let’s break this process up into three stages: Auto Segment, Feature Extraction, & LiveTransfer […]
CPI Aerostructures Uses FDM 3D Printing for Custom Tooling
