Hey guys. Have you all used a 3d scanner to create cad files? We have a romer arm with polyworks. We would like to scan some end of arm tools here and convert the pointcloud into a useable CAD file that we can 3D print.
Have you all done anything like this and how did it turn out? any advice? software suggestions? Tips and Tricks? Is it worth the time and effort?
We spend 4k on each of the parts we want to replace and this method could potentially save us tons of money.

JEFMAN said. Converting the cloud into an STL should be enough to make it printable.
If you have the MESH option in PC-DMIS, I think you can create an STL from your pointcloud.
Other than that, there are free solutions to convert into STL as well.
