Software is integrated with 3D laser scanners
Laser Design has announced the immediate availability of Geomagic Studio Version 9, which is completely integrated into its line of 3D laser scanning systems.
Laser Design has announced the immediate availability of Geomagic Studio Version 9, with enhanced 3D features, advanced colour texture generation, and advanced tools for manually defining NURBS surfaces, completely integrated into its line of 3D laser scanning systems.
Laser Design's GKS Inspection Services division employs Geomagic Studio 9 for reverse engineering projects and it is also essential to Laser Design customers worldwide in automated reconstruction and redesign of physical parts and moulds, mass production of customised devices, and build-to-order manufacturing.
Geomagic Studio 9 leads the pack in effectively and automatically processing 3D scan data for applications ranging from reverse engineering to design and analysis.
Applications as diverse as design and manufacturing engineering, medical modelling, and historical preservation, will benefit from the new automated features including: auto-detection of 3D features; a redesigned powerful macro system able to add logic and flow control to automation scripts; and a system that enables users to define their own workflow processes, reducing or eliminating time-intensive tasks.
Geomagic Studio 9 also creates an open workflow for simplifying automotive and aerospace applications, engineering analysis, and cast and moulding industries applications.
To enable design and manufacturing engineers to detect and extract the features of an object's fundamental design, the 3D-features enhancement optimises a model towards the intent.
This function provides the ability to reconstruct "perfect" geometry from real-world objects and scanned data.
New features increase the flexibility of optimised manual creation and auto-detection of 3D features or geometric shapes.
For designers or other engineers requiring self-prescribed patch layouts, the Geomagic Studio 9 Draw Patches feature makes creating and editing patch layouts as easy as drawing curves.
The new feature also delivers a simple mechanism for constructing NURBS surfaces which provides continuous curves, straight-line drawing, and refined boundary handling.
The advanced colour feature is a significant addition for artisans and historical preservationists.
It offers the capability to convert per-vertex colour models to new representations using texture maps to retain the full colour resolution.
An Image Projection feature matches a 2D photograph of a model with the 3D scanned model, and then builds a texture map from the alignment and projection of the digital photo on the scanned model.
Several new tools make Geomagic Studio 9 even easier to use: a project manager tool, hotkeys, and one to compute the centre of gravity.
The project manager tool breaks down large project files into smaller low-resolution files for easy manipulation; corresponding high-resolution files contain the original data.
