Design X Essentials for Mastercam Users

By |2023-07-26T08:29:50-04:00July 26th, 2023|Categories: 3D Scanning, 3d Scanning & Reverse Engineering, Mastercam|0 Comments

What is Reverse Engineering for Mastercam? Design X Essentials for Cimquest’s Mastercam users provides an outstanding reverse engineering mechanism to go from a mesh or point cloud to a fully functional (machine-able) Step or Parasolid model. That model is then imported into Mastercam and used for toolpath generation and functions as if it came from a mechanical CAD system! From Mesh to Code! And it’s not just for simple, prismatic parts! Scans of complex models [...]

Deploying Design X Essentials for Reverse Engineering and CNC programming

By |2023-06-07T09:47:44-04:00June 7th, 2023|Categories: 3d Scanning & Reverse Engineering|0 Comments

Geomagic Design X Essentials can take a scan or point cloud from a scanner and use it as a template for reverse engineering the shape into a completely machinable Neutral or Kernel file (Step, ACIS or Parasolid). 2D Pockets that require 2-axis machining that include G02/G03 circular tool motion, G81/G83 point-to-point applications, etc. are all fully achievable, using Design X Essentials to create the model. The all-too-common Autosurface created by most reverse engineering software tools [...]

This blog post will delve into the Measure Menu of Geomagic’s Control X software. While most users of Control X are interested in producing color maps, whisker plots, dimension checks, and GD&T analyses of the scan as compared to the nominal CAD model, it is important to note that there are several “mesh-only” functions for measuring a scan model that do not require a nominal CAD model. Geomagic Control X Measure Menu Options The Measure [...]
