CREATIVE
DEZIGN CONCEPTS PRESENTED ITS DSM (DIGITAL SHAPE MODELING) REVERSE ENGINEERING
PRODUCT FOR LASER SCANNING INSIDE OF SolidWorks 2011 AT PRI SHOW
DSM
integrated software allows users to perform feature based reverse engineering
from laser scanned data directly inside the SolidWorks environment.
Mooresville,
NC December 2010— Creative Dezign Concepts Inc today announced the
release of DSM, the world’s first, feature based reverse engineering product
for laser scanned data, entirely inside of SolidWorks 2011 3D mechanical design
software and it will be featured at the Performance Racing Industry Show, PRI,
in Orlando, Florida on December 10 -12 2010 in booth 1755.
Creative
Dezign Concepts is once again changing the way engineers and designers handle
their reverse engineering projects. Just like their current product DezignWorks,
which allows you to create feature based reverse engineered models inside of your
Computer Aided Design system with the input of a portable CMM arm, Creative Dezign
is launching Digital Shape Modeling which is the world’s first feature based
reverse engineering product to use input from an arm mounted laser and allow you
to build features and data inside of SolidWorks. Engineers and designers can use
DSM and SolidWorks to capture laser scanned data from existing parts directly
within the SolidWorks environment maintaining the associativity so they can design
better products faster and more accurately, eliminating the need to work with
their point cloud, laser scanned data in a separate product and eliminating non-intelligent
solid models.
DSM
is an extension of DezignWorks which means you will be able to laser scan when
it makes sense and probe when it makes sense, giving you the control over how
you want to reverse engineering your products. The key of this system is that
all commands and data are captured entirely inside of SolidWorks so all your SolidWorks
tools are available to you to create the features you need and design the way
you already know how. No need to learn a complicated and expensive point cloud
manipulation tool, when you have everything you need from DSM inside of SolidWorks.
“Engineers
shouldn’t have to move between 2-3 different applications to finish a product
design,” said Jim Watson, CEO of Creative Dezign Concepts and creators of
DezignWorks and DSM. “Integrating DezignWorks and DSM with SolidWorks means
engineers can begin reverse engineering their existing parts directly within the
SolidWorks environment deciding if they need to laser scan or hard probe as they
work. That saves time and helps manufacturers meet tight production deadlines.”
Combining SolidWorks
with DSM gives engineers the tools they need to capture laser scanned data inside
of SolidWorks, in real time, so you scan what you need and use the data as you
scan. Unlike other point cloud products, DSM will turn your laser scanned data
into cross sectional lines arcs and splines. No more looking at millions of points
on a screen and trying to figure out how to turn it into something you can actually
use. Get real cross-sectional data containing information you work with every
do to design your products. Come see how DSM is making laser scanned data useful
to today’s engineers.
In
conjunction with the release of DezignWorks 10 for SolidWorks 2011 and DSM for
SolidWorks 2011 Creative Dezign Concepts has launched a new YouTube channel highlighting
the functionality of the latest release of the software. Hear you can find the

INFINITE
2.0 Series: The top-of-the-line, portable CMM
The
Newest Innovation in Portable CMMs from ROMER
ROMER
is pleased to introduce the INFINITE 2.0 portable CMM incorporating raise-the-bar
features to enhance usability and expand work session productivity. The sleek,
redesigned six-axis arms offer high precision probing and optional scanning capabilities
for mobile measurement, inspection and reverse engineering on the shop floor or
in the metrology lab. Available in measuring ranges of 4, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 12 feet,
the 4 foot arm measures to ± 0.0006” in the Volumetric Length Accuracy
Test. Major advancements include TESA Kinematic Probes, a Smaller Ergonomic Wrist
Design, an innovative SpinGrip and a new Probe Holster.
* TESA Kinematic Probes with Swiss made Bridge CMM-class connectors provide carbon
fiber construction with automatic probe recognition. When changing probes, Kinematic
probes save time by automatically identifying themselves to the software and by
not requiring re-calibration. If you need to replace a tip, the probe can be easily
re-calibrated in the field. * SpinGrip these infinite-rotating grips at elbow
and forearm provide two “approved” grip positions for better ergonomics
and do not allow the user to stress the arm during use. * INFINITE 2.0 inspects
almost anywhereSix Axis Ergonomic Wrist is smaller and uses new tactile buttons.
The new design includes an integrated USB camera to document work set-ups and
an LED work-light. * Probe Holster provides easy access and storage of Kinematic
probes. Includes slots to snap-in 3 probes and the Kinematic key. * Upgraded
Wi-Fi Wireless Connectivity – the Wi-Fi connection between the arm and computer
allows the operator to position the computer where it is most convenient without
having to worry about PC cables (or any cables, for that matter, thanks to the
Li-ION battery). INFINITE 2.0 arms have been upgraded from WIFI 802.11b to WIFI
802.11g, the standard for wireless device connectivity, which offers speeds many
times faster and longer range (up to 200 ft – even through walls) than other
technologies such as Bluetooth. * Integrated Li-ION Battery and Environmentally
Sealed Cover – the integrated Li-ION battery is ideal for on-site inspection
or measurement when AC power is not available or where cables are a problem. Several
hours of battery life are typical with continuous operation. The
environmentally sealed battery cover prevents contamination of the battery compartment
and accidental dislodging of the battery. * Infinite Rotation – INFINITE
series arms feature ROMER's patented infinite rotation of the principal axes.
This allows inspection of hard-to-reach areas and avoids damaging the arm against
rotational hard stops. * The new INFINITE 2.0Zero-G Counterbalance –
the integrated Zero-G counterbalance offsets the weight of the arm and probe,
thereby reducing operator fatigue and allowing one-handed operation from any position.
The counterbalance works equally well from any position in the arm's reach, above
and below the midline, without any tendency for the arm to "flop" when
used high or low. The counterbalance helps protect the arm from unintended crashes
with table or part. * Calibrated Length Standard – ROMER provides a NIST-traceable
calibrated length standard with each arm to allow the operator to easily verify
and document system performance for ISO or vendor requirements. * Carbon Fiber
Arms – all ROMER arm tubes are constructed of carbon fiber. Carbon fiber
is 25 times more thermally stable than aluminum, thereby ensuring temperature
stability in real-world use and rendering temperature compensation unnecessary.
Under normal usage the carbon fiber tubes have a lifetime warranty. * Quick
Mounting – a unique quick-change mounting system requires no tools, allowing
fast set-ups and providing a small footprint. The arm can be attached to many
types of bases (fixed, magnetic & vacuum mount), tripods and Brunson stands
for INFINITE flexibility of mounting. * Heidenhain Encoders – Heidenhain,
the worlds leading manufacturer of high-accuracy rotary encoders, builds custom
“wide-track” encodes designed specifically for INFINITE 2.0 arms.

to 3D scanning. PC-DMIS Reshaper — a complete 3D point-cloud processing software
for users who need to handle rapidly generated point cloud files and high-quality
3D meshes at an affordable price.
* R-Scan's simple design, plus the Omega arm's patented infinite rotation, allows
for easy scanning of difficult to reach areas. * Non-contact laser point
scanning ensures easy, guided measurement. You get total capability ideal for
reverse engineering applications, with speed, repeatability, a real-time display
as well as automatic color recognition. * Technology plus peace of mind: ROMER
supports and warranties the complete digitizing system — arm, probe and software.
Ideal
for reverse engineering applications, the Omega R-Scan with PC-DMIS Reshaper system
produces 3D point cloud data that is processed to create a representative surface
model. It's perfect for rapid prototyping, part duplication and other important
tasks such as:

or "golden" part where no CAD or part drawing exists. * Creating
an "as-built" model of a tool so wear over time can be compared.
* Competitive part/product analysis. * Archival or historical preservation
of artifacts to create a 3D record or copy.
Developed
specifically for 3D modeling, PC-DMIS Reshaper software captures and processes
3D point cloud data generated from measurement points to quickly create high quality
digital models.
PC-DMIS
Reshaper connects directly to the Omega arm and shows the point capture activity
live on screen as the R-Scan is passed over the object. The resulting point clouds
can then be manipulated, edited and merged prior to creating the mesh. Using advanced

MicroScribe
MX portable CMMs offer metrology level accuracy, an easy-to-use articulated arm
design, and seamless integration with the most popular reverse engineering and
metrology software packages.
The
MicroScribe portable CMM supplies a new, more cost-effective alternative for manufactured
parts inspection, reverse engineering, and high-accuracy 3D digitizing.
Turning
reality into a virtual representation is being employed in more and more aspects
of our everyday lives. From modeling ancient buildings, production plants, crime
scenes and football stadiums to design concepts for cars and for replacement parts
which have no design data, reverse engineering is a broad field allowing us to
create virtually anything we can touch.
FaroArms
and Laser Trackers can be used to reverse engineer geometric objects whilst more
complex shapes are better captured using a non contact device such as a ScanArm
or Laser Scanner LS.
Requirement
To digitize a part or object creating a fully surfaced CAD model which can be
used to record and reproduce the item.
Solution
Using a FARO Laser ScanArm free form surfaces can be rapidly scanned to produce
a point cloud. This can be triangulated and surfaced using our various software
options. Touch probe devices such as the Laser Tracker or FaroArm can also be
used to reverse engineer geometric parts.
Benefit
The main advantage of using laser scanning technology is the timesaving, many
thousands of points are captured every second meaning that parts can be rapidly
reverse engineered and reproduced virtually. As FARO solutions are portable parts
can be reverse engineered without having to be relocated.
FaroArm
- Quantum FaroArm ® Advancing Measurement One Micron at a Time.
The Next Generation of Dimensional Measurement Has
Arrived
Quality
in production begins with accuracy in product measurements. To achieve the highest
levels of accuracy, manufacturers were forced to measure their parts in a controlled

FaroArm
- Platinum Arm
20 Years
in the Making -- the Ultimate Portable CMM with .0005" Accuracy
With
the release of the revolutionary Platinum FaroArm® portable CMM, FARO Technologies
has invented the world’s most advanced portable CMM in manufacturing history.
It represents the culmination of two decades of R & D with more multiple pending
patents for innovations in accuracy, reliability and ease of use.
The
Platinum FaroArm’s .0005" accuracy renders traditional CMMs, hand tools
and other portable cmms obsolete. Anyone, anywhere can now inspect, reverse engineer
or perform CAD-to-Part-analysis on parts, fixtures and assemblies with previously
unheard of precision. When you partner that accuracy with its adaptable 3-D measurement
technology and customized zero-training Softcheck Tools (with or without CAD),
it is ideal for forming, molding, fabricating, casting and assembly facilities
needing GD&T and SPC output.
It
also features true portability and improved ergonomics.
The
Platinum FaroArm is lighter than a standard portable CMM, and includes extended-use
on-board batteries. The portable CMM platform has a universal 3.5" mounting
ring for easy adaptability, while the base offers mounting options that afford
"measure-where-you make-it" capability.
The
Arm itself is internally counterbalanced for "neutral buoyancy" and
fatigue-free usage. In fact, overload sensors prevent users from stressing the
arm and help ensure precise measurement, making it "the only arm with feeling."
Platinum series
FaroArms are available in 6 or 7 axis configurations. With it's pistol grip handle,
the seven-axis models provide greater flexibility when used with custom probes;
and expands your capabilities with the optional FARO Laser Line Probe. Inverted
configurations are also available for mounting upside-down in confined spaces
or hard to reach areas.
So,
instead of spending over $100,000 on an inconvenient, fixed CMM, or settling for
less-accurate portable CMM, use the Platinum FaroArm -- the highest proven accuracy
articulated portable CMM for successful manufacturing, engineering and quality
control.
When
you want the portable measurement and reverse engineering capabilities of the
Platinum FaroArm - and have flexible accuracy requirements - the cost-effective
choice is the FARO's intermediate arm series, Titanium FaroArm®.
The
Titanium’s high precision - combined with its lightweight construction and
superb portability - means that the shop floor now has an affordable solution
for nearly all measurement needs. The Titanium FaroArm enables anyone, anywhere
to inspect, reverse engineer or perform CAD-to-Part-analysis on parts, fixtures
and assemblies with remarkable accuracy.
The
portable CMM platform has a universal 3.5" mounting ring for easy adaptability
and compatibility with flexible mounting options, like vacuum and magnetic mounts,
instrument stands and tripods, that afford "measure-where-you make-it"
capability. Together with the powerful CAM2 Measure software parts can be compared
directly to CAD data. Geometric comparisons of the finished part can be made in
realtime in the production floor. Titanium series arms are available in 6 or 7
axis configurations. With it's pistol grip handle, the seventh axis models provide
greater flexibility when used with custom probes; and expands your capabilities
with the optional FARO Laser Line Probe.
Inverted
configurations are also available for mounting upside-down in confined spaces
or hard to reach areas.
The
Titanium FaroArm's price-to-performance ratio - with accuracies as high as 0.025mm
(0.001") - makes it the best choice for all of your general measurement needs.
The FARO Laser ScanArm is the first ever seven-axis contact/non-contact measurement
device with a fully integrated FARO Laser Line Probe.
Unlike
other scanning systems, the FARO ScanArm’s hard probe and FARO Laser Line
Probe can digitize interchangeably without having to remove either component.
Users can accurately measure prismatic features with the Arm’s hard probe,
then laser scan sections requiring larger volumes of data (more than 19,000 points
per-second) — without adding or removing attachments, untangling cabling,
or having to use a separate CMM to import the data.
The
ScanArm's seventh axis affords further flexibility and has been designed for the
integration of the laser line scanning probe. The extra degree of freedom allows
for optimum scanner positioning to obtain the best possible data. This extraordinary
flexibility and the pistol grip also offer advantages with non scanning probes.
There
are no third-party attachments, external electronics or cables that interfere
with the Arm’s unlimited articulation ability, so the users get maximum data
handling, accuracy and efficiency in an affordable package — rather than
complications of integrating separate technologies. The Laser Line Probe even
has an “Auto Material” feature, which continuously samples the object’s
surface, then automatically adjusts for optimal scanning.
The
ScanArm is ideal for non-contact measurement applications, including inspection,
cloud-to-CAD comparison, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering and 3-D modeling.
It directly interfaces to the industry’s leading point-cloud inspection and
reverse-engineering softwares.
FARO
ScanArms are available in Platinum, Titanuim and Advantage models with 7 axis
configurations. Inverted models are also available for mounting upside-down in
confined spaces or hard to reach areas.
The
ScanArm is the perfect contact/non-contact measurement system, and the only system
you'll need for all of your 3-D digitizing needs.
