Design X is a remarkable product that enables the creation of a fully-featured CAD model from a scan or point cloud from any device that can produce one of these files. It can return planes, sketches with constraints, dimensions, features, and can generally build completely native, history-based CAD models for a variety of the most common CAD systems including Solidworks, Solid Edge, Inventor, Pro-e, Creo, and NX. Today, the requirements for a fully native CAD [...]

Introducing the UE PRO Laser Scanner

By Cimquest Marketing|2022-04-05T08:32:49-04:00April 5th, 2022|Categories: 3D Scanning, Metrology Minute|0 Comments

The specs and capabilities of the incredible new UE PRO laser handheld scanner are way-beyond what we anticipated. With an accuracy of +/- 20 microns (+/-.00078”) and a maximum resolution of 50 microns in standard mode and an incredible 10 microns in “fine mode,” this handheld scanner sets brand new benchmarks in our industry. Scanning speed is an incredible 1.8 million points/sec. This is accomplished by the 13 crossing lasers (26 lasers, total). A new [...]

Additive design, 3D printing, Traditional CAD, Traditional CAM, Hybrid Machining, 3D Scanning, Scan Processing, Reverse Engineering, Inspection . . . Each discipline is evolving exponentially on its own, but each also crosses over into neighboring technologies, all contributing to the rapidly evolving world we refer to as “Manufacturing”. In studying the sciences, one can quickly come to the conclusion that all disciplines are subsets of Physics. When Biology, Math, and Chemistry students advance to high-level [...]

In this blog post, we are going to take a look at Color Map Fitting inside of Control X. Color Map Fitting is a useful tool for analyzing the tolerances of 3D scan mesh files, relative to the original model. The image above shows a CAD model of a crankshaft with the scan mesh superimposed on the model. The image below shows the Color Map Fitting. We first selected the flatness of the scanned mesh [...]
