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!

  • Oh, I scan, I scan a lot. In fact, that is what I am doing right now, but this is 2-D scanning (trim details, on my special plate).

    BUT, my machine can not do anything BUT TTP (Sharpe32 controller).

    For 3D scanning, I use the "laser" on the 7-axis SI.


    Ah, the power of the laser-equipped SI. I'm still a one-trick-pony CMM guy, haven't got learned on those fancy portable arm things yet.
