3D Laser Scanners & Reverse Engineering Software

Handyscan Advantages

First and only handheld, self-orienting 3D scanner, eliminating the need for fixed-position tripods, bulky mechanical arms or external positioning devices that make make hard-to-reach surfaces nearly impossible to scan

Uniquely part-referenced, allowing you to move the target object during scanning and see a real-time image of the surface being scanned

Capture data in one continuous scan rather than in numerous shots from fixed positions, eliminating hours of post-processing time

Includes VX Scan software that automatically produces an .stl file for import into a 3D CAD software package or output to a 3D printer

Applications and Solutions

• Reverse Engineering: Fast and accurate 3D scanning of existing objects

• Inspection: Accurate part digitizing for conformity assessment.

Easy and quick scanning of parts for production line adjustments purposes, etc.

• CAD/CAM/CAE: Greatly facilitates the design process from existing concepts, quick transfer of handmade models to CNC machines, easy scanning of prototypes for performance simulations (FEA)

• Mock-Ups: Easily capture physical mock-ups for further modifications, or to obtain 2D or 3D CAD files

FastSCAN Cobra is lightweight and  portable, with the ability to scan objects in their natural environment, onsite. This is particularly useful for physiological scanning applications since the device allows free form handheld scanning with no mechanical constraints. The Scorpion uses the same technology as the Cobra, casting a fan of laser light over the object, to produce a scan. The Scorpion has two cameras allowing for more detailed scans. While scanning an object the cameras on the wand view the laser from either side to record cross-sectional profiles of the object.

Applications include:

 

Archaeology

Reverse Engineering / Rapid Prototyping

Entertainment Industries - Toys, Computer Game Development, maquette scanning

Forensics

Medical - Orthotics and Prosthetics, Plastic Surgery and Wound Healing.

 

 FastSCAN instantly acquires three dimensional surfaces by gathering measurements made by smoothly sweeping a handheld laser scanning wand over an object - in a manner similar to spray painting. The object's image instantly appears on your computer screen and the finished scan is processed to combine any overlapping sweeps, significantly reducing the time to develop surface models of virtually any object with little or no metal content. The three-dimensional data can then be saved in industry-standard formats for loading into other programs.

 

FastSCAN is designed to scan non-metallic, opaque objects. The scanner works by casting a fan of laser light over the object, while the camera on the wand views the laser to record a cross-sectional profile of the object. The embedded FASTRAK® is used to determine the position and orientation of the wand, enabling the computer to reconstruct the full three-dimensional surface of the object. Moveable objects may be scanned by attaching a second receiver to the object.

XOR makes editable CAD models from 3D scan data.

Rapidform XOR2 is the industries first and only parametric reverse engineering software. Powered by CAD tools familiar to all engineers, XOR2 allows the user to generate complex parametric models from scan data with ease. Combined with DirectControl for many scanners, the software offers a complete solution for Parametric Reverse Engineering. Rapidform XOR2 addresses the limitations of existing 3D scan data processing software by complementing its mesh modeling and NURBS surfacing capabilities with newly developed CAD modeling capabilities, providing users with the tools to go from 3D scan data to a parametric CAD model.

Capture the design intent, extract the design parameters, including prismatic features and freeform surfaces.

 An immediately recognizable user interface and design process that will allow users of  most popular CAD applications to immediately begin modeling in XORedesign

XORedesign is a Solids, Surface and Mesh hybrid modeler for true Hybrid Reverse Modeling

Create a parametric CAD model from 3D scan data in less than half the time of current surface fitting methods

Engineers can extract the design intent and parameters from the scan data of the physical part  and “reverse” the traditional design-manufacturing flow back to a proper CAD model.

Anyone who can use SolidWorks, CATIA, Pro/ENGINEER or Unigraphics can start remodeling in XOR immediately.

 

Sample Workflow

Import Scan (mesh data)

Software interrogates geometry into editable regions (finds planes, vectors, primitive shapes etc) to aid in reconstruction of CAD model

Sketch planes established to draw profile

Profile drawn over the top of plane/mesh intersection...will be used for extruding shape

Solid model created from profile extrusions, revolutions, trimmed surfaces etc.

Editable History tree of Model

Finished solid model with fillets added.  Model is parametric and can be exported into many CAD packages maintaining history.

Analyze deviation between solid model created and original scan
