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!

  • Geomagic (what little I worked with it with the arm) is pretty good as well, HOWEVER, Geo drops 'excessive' or 'extra' points as it scans, so, if you were using Poly or Pcdmis, and just scanned non-stop for 15 minutes, without moving the arm, you would have BILLIONS (or so Slight smile ) points, in Geo, you wouldn't have but the 1 strip of points.
