I am wondering, if it's possible, to scan a part without a CAD File and extrapolate data and measurements from the scan and export that data into a CAD File. If this is possible, how do you do that?
Without cad to generate the scan paths, you should probably turn OFF the probe comp. With a TTP, you will only EVER get 2D probe comp, unless you use surface points for the 'feature' and use 3 sample hits for each and every touch in the scan. I am not sure about scanning probes, but I doubt you would get 3D even then as it would require the path to make an "X" for every point gathered. COMP=OFF isn't a problem, as long as the cad people know how much to comp for your ball.
Point clouds, you probably don't have them for a CMM as they are a laser type item (as far as I know).
