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).
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!!!!
The new arm/scanner is nice for doing a quick scan of a part and doing a point cloud for a quick reference. I'm sure if you have 8+ years experience with PC DMIS and like PC DMIS you will like your new arm.
