It provides the user with a variety of tools to assist the user from data capture to model editing. Conclusion Design X 2016 is a powerful all-round package for capturing and reverse engineering surface models. This surface can take some time to generate, however once it is complete you have a fully editable surface model. This tool uses the previously created patch network to fit a NURBs surface. Mesh Constructionįinally when I was satisfied with my patch network I applied the Fit Surface Patches tool. Options such as these can assist downstream in your workflow, however they can also increase processing time between scan passes. Among some of the settings were options to automatically remove outliers, clean noise and generate a mesh as the physical part is being scanned. One aspect to be aware of is when moving between the dark and light material areas of the AT901, these areas required a quick adjustment to the arm sensor’s exposure setting (by holding both side buttons for three seconds). Along with audio feedback from the Romer Arm this made the data acquisition extremely user friendly. The live onscreen feedback given by LiveScan™ is very useful, as it highlights the current scan pass so you can easily identify the next area that requires scanning. Using our Romer Absolute 7535SI portable scanning arm PES was able to move around the Leica AT901 laser tracker, scanning all the surfaces to capture the required data for a complete point cloud. This means that the user does not have to switch between software packages for scanning and modelling. Data Acquisition LiveScan™ is a great feature of Design X as it allows the user to directly capture of point cloud data into Design X. This workflow took approximately 90 minutes to complete. In this tutorial PES will highlight features of Design X 2016, which have been used to scan and create a surface model of our Leica AT901 laser tracker. Scanning and reverse engineering are highly effective and powerful tools for capturing and digitally recreating physical objects. PES are proud to present this tutorial video that covers laser scanning, meshing, data cleaning and surface modelling. Our team of engineers provide software demonstrations nationwide to a variety of industries for component inspection, reverse engineering, 3D printing and product design.
