Good looking Portable Reporting on Romer/Hexagon Arm

I had a couple questions currently my employer uses another software for laser scanning with a LLP but I am trying to explain to them since we use PCDMIS for the CMM we should also use it for the arm it would make everything more uniform measuring the same parts as far as reporting, alignments etc.. They seem to be hung up on the pretty color maps and 3d deviation points of polyworks or geomagic, i was wondering if any of you on here could enlighten me of some good looking reports with color maps, annotation points etc from a portable arm I can use as ammunition to get them to come around, i would really appreciate it even if its on the the hexagon block just something since i dont have the license for a portable arm to be able to show this.

  • I have the same issue!! even worst is that I use geometric features to AL. and they do BF in polyworks Angry.results never will be 1:1. So I took their scan as STL.file imported into PC-DMIS and aligned it in Pointcloud/CAD Alignment. showed them and they still were unconvinced. can't teach an old engineer new tricks if it's set in its ways.

    Or grab a scan create a COP1, then point cloud map it. create a surface color map.

    Good Luck.
  • So what do you mean by grabbing a scan and pointcloud mapping it, are you saying i could run the part on the cmm and at the end of the program import a pointcloud i took in another software on the faro arm and import it in the same alignment as the cmm ?
