EuroPac 3D have the ability to offer a wide range of software solutions to suit your measurement needs. Our in house experts have over 30 years experience in the metrology industry and can advise a suitable product whether it be for probing or scanning applications, for inspection and digitising.
3D scanning is only the beginning during the process of reverse engineering and depending on the end application various output formats are required. Typically those looking to build a rapid prototype or 3D print of an object, then an STL triangulated surface mesh is the preferred output. Polworks V12 is an ideal reverse engineering software for those customers looking for a high quality watertight mesh suitable for 3D printing and works seamlessly with all hardware supplied by Europac3D.
For those customers looking for a reverse engineering software to create native parametric models back into their own CAD system, then Rapidform XOR is the most comprehensive solution on the market. The software enables the user to rapidly extract 'design intent' modelling features from the raw scan data and turn it into a real CAD model as if designed from scratch. The largely wizard based system enables the user to perform extrudes, revolves, sweeps etc in a minimum amount of time, the finished CAD model can then be live transferred into proprietary CAD software with a full history tree.
The opportunity to learn more about a component than simple 2D
dimensions has seen a rapid rise in popularity in the last couple of
years, the ability to produce full 3D colourmap inspection reports, to
understand where a part is twisted or where the form of a bore is
'running out' enables management to make better informed decisions
about their production process.
Please give our experts at Europac3d a call to find out what solution
best fits your application.
Portable metrology systems offer the advantage of being able to take the measurement device to the part rather than the part to the measuring machine, this offers a huge advantage when measuring bulky or difficult to move components. PowerInspect by Delcam is the perfect software partner for this metrology task, a powerful robust system capable of importing all CAD varieties while creating full graphical reports quickly and easily, it the perfect partner for shop floor measurement.
For specialised tubing applications DOCS software is a powerful tool, measuring in either XYZ co-ordinates or LRAs (length, rotation, angle). The software works with specially designed tube 'forked' probes that sweep around the pipe using infra red beams that break when they are passed over the tube. The results can be sent directly back to CNC tube bending machines to correct for 'springback' and other factors that might distort the pipe during manufacture.
