Reverse Engineering: Scan to CAD File

Hello,

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?

Thank you!

  • Even if you are doing a line variable scan in a defined alignment set to master?


    Master takes the raw data it finds upon initial execution and sets it as Nominal for all other parts. It pretty much makes a best-guess on probe comp. Great for pre-CAD legacy parts that are based on a quality master part.

    Agreed about turning off probe comp for rev eng, but make sure you tell the CAD jockey to offset by your actual probe radius (as reported during probe qual).
