In our turbulent world we are more frequently faced by the challenge that our customers expect precise, duly fitting CAD based product or model as an output of engineering. For such needs the baseline is the 3D scanning of the continuous surfaces of the product to be engineered, the digitalisation of the connecting parts, for example a part of the car-body.

Typical applications of the 3D scanning:

• archiving sculptures, old objects for making replicas or reproducing them,
• making comparison and quality check between the product and its CAD data to provide inputs for the minutes of product measurement,
• archiving different objects, living beings (animals, etc.) for demonstration purposes in education.

Regarding the digitalisation of 3D objects we are able to provide 3D scanning and based on the data collected to manufacture a parameterised model (Reverse Engineering).

3D scanning supports the following file formats:

• Mesh Files (*.nxm; *.scn; *.3ds; *.obj; *.stl; *.wrl; *.ply; *.ply2)
• PointCloud Files(*.xyz; *.txt; *.asc; *.vda; *.igs)

In case of parametric and non-parametric models the supported file formats are:

• Stereolitography (*.stl)
• Parasoid (*.x_t, *x_b)
• STEP (*.stp)
• IGES (*.igs)
• ACIS (*.sat)
• VDAFS (*.vda)
• VRML (*.wrl)
• Solid Works Part (*.prt)
• Catia Graphics (*.cgr)
• ProE Part (*.prt)
• Universal 3D (*.u3d)
