Meshing Two Cops of Same Part

I am trying to figure out if there is a way to scan one side of a part, flip it over and then scan the opposite side of the part. Then take both of the scans and match them together using common points between the scans. I am assuming two COPs need to be made so one can move to the other but I am new to pretty much any measuring software, I am more of a CAD guy but they are starting my training on both a CMM and P-CMM. If it were in a CAD program I would be able to just manipulate where the points are no problem but just can't figure it out using the PC-DMIS software. Any information would be greatly appreciated because I was told it is possible just don't know how to go about it.

Thanks,

  • I know how to scan one part as a whole part but I heard there was a way you could scan one side of a part flip the part over scan the other side of the part and then somehow align both sets of point clouds to be the part you tried to scan. There are some parts that we deal with where it is hard to mount the part to be able to scan both sides as one. It was something they did over a year ago when trying to sell us the ARM.
