Using 3D Data for Visualization While we touched on visualization, one of several downstream applications in Chapter Six, the subject is so comprehensive that it deserves a chapter of its own. Visualization 3D Scanning As our lives become increasingly digital and interactive (via the web, video games, and even television and our cell phones), we

3D Scanning Digital Model Formats – The Many Flavors of 3D CAD. We would like to take a little pause here and discuss things you can do with a CAD model. It led to questions like how to use the OBJ file and how it’s different from an STL? Can an IGES and a STEP file be used for

Downstream Applications for 3D Data What to do with a 3D model? Practically anything! Today, in this world that’s increasingly digital, most industries now utilize 3D files in some fashion. It shows up in many different places lately. At this point, you have your 3D model from your scanned original part. It modelled digitally into a polygon

Inspection/Analysis – Comparison to CAD We move on to downstream applications for 3D models. Before we jump, we need to talk about one more application for scan data. Here we’ll cover how this data can be utilized for quality inspection. Essential Terminology A HISTORY LESSON We think the 3D scanning industry comes with something new, where

Converting Raw Point Clouds into CAD Formats: FILES BROUGHT INTO PARAMETRIC MODELERS Processing 3D data into polygonal models and dumb solids adds a simple mesh file for geometry features that enables to redesign process. It categorised the processing of collected data into two main categories: reverse engineering and Digital Modelling. Digital Modelling uses these simpler model

Converting Raw Point Clouds into CAD Formats You’ve read your overview, figured out how to collect data, and now that you have this data, what do you do with it? As you learned in Chapter Two, Direct Dimensions breaks data collection into two common methods: Laser Scanning and Digitizing. We also categorize the processing of

Now that you have a basic idea about how 3D scanning and modelling work, let’s really get started. Before you can have a 3D model, you must have 3D data to create that model. Let’s start there… So, what are the ways that 3D data can be collected? There are multiple ways to collect 3D

With passing time, we meet many people who find our work interesting as we use 3D scanning technologies. We at Australian Design and Drafting Service company offer easy 3D scanning that helps the user to discover the ways to provide cutting-edge technologies. 3D Scanning topics we use here: Chapter 1: The 3D Scanning Basics and
