Hello,
(just curious) does anybody here know something about an inexpensive 3D scanning device for ProE?
I´m doing CAD services for electronics housing, and I´d very much like to make all that measuring of components a single shot process.
Btw., I´m on UNIX - to complicate things a little.
TIA
Walther
Define *expensive*
The guys we use have a bruckman scanner on a faro arm, which has accuracy of about 0.1mm and will scan really big things, but I have seen of late some desktop scanners which would be great for mobile phone enclosures and so on.
Scope out the Roland LPX250, I think it's 'affordabe' - no unix support, so you may need to budget another grand for a PC...
Thanks, John!
inexpensive - that is e. g. something that does not exceed a tenth of the costs of a single proE seat. Better say 1/100...
that one is 10,000.- $ - not quite cheap, then.
Their web site offers download of sample data only after having collected a _lot_ of data first - but fails with some cryptic message... Good intro, guys! I love companies that do not make a long masquerade so one immediately knows where better _not_ to get a product from.
Anyway, I looked for 3Dscan at ebay - there are a lot of el-cheapo taiwanese 3D scanning devices I could play around with first, making up some "driver" to gather 3D data on a unix box myself.
I always have to re-model imported geometry in ProE, since it is not possible to modify anything - a 3D scan thingie is just for fun.
Cheers
Walther
