Going to this class next week. 5 days of class, no scanning until the 5th day. Will I be wasting 3 days of time? Day 1 is about the arm apparently, 2, 3 & 4 are about Pcdmis, day 5 is "pointcloud scanning". Anyone take this class after having been using Pcdmis for a number of years? I've been using Pcdmis for over 15 years (or something like that).
I would assume you are talking about a 7 axis arm with the intergrated scanner ( RSI scanner ). I had this class this past January. I had zero experience with PC DMIS prior to this( all my prior experice is with Metrolog on a CMM ). I was kinda lost the whole time. Since you have prior experience, the class should be pretty easy for you.
Do you currently have an arm with the scanner or are you looking to get one?
It SHOULD be here either today or tomorrow. We have a scanner, but it sucks, WAY too time consuming to do even the easiest of jobs. Take a picture, save, take a picture, merge the 2 pictures, save, take a picture, merge that into the previous 2, save, take a picture, and on and on and on...... stand alone camera, no axis tracking, so VERY time consuming. For the easiest of jobs on the smallest of details, it took a minimum of 8 pictures to get the data, 45# camera on a HUGE tripod (which would hold ME up), yeah, no fun using it. So, 7-Axis SI infinity, and we'll see how much better it is, it sure can't be any worse that's for sure!!!!
