DIGITIZING
|
|
|
|
I
A D performs 2D and 3D digitizing utilizing a
touch trigger
probe mounted on a CNC milling
machine
equipped with linear glass scales, this setup yields
a very clean + accurate data set.
The
probe can be fitted with a variety of different styluses:
ball, cylinder and disc shapes
ranging
in size from 0.040" ( 1.0 mm ) to 2.00" (
50.0 mm ) in diameter.
The size and
shape is
selected
to match the features of the model. Three
types of scan can be done :
|
MEANDER
- back and forth along the X or the
Y axis for 3D surfaces |
|
|
|
CONTOUR
- travel around an object at increments
in height for 2D + 3D |
|
|
|
PROGRAMMED
- probe at specific points and along pathways
- flow lines |
The
minimum interval between data points and the incremental
distance between scan lines is
controlled
to best reveal the details without an unecessarily large
data set. Local high density
scans
can
be combined with lower density surface scans when appropriate.
2D contours,
single
point
datums and circles ( center + radius ) are
often used in conjunction with 3D scans.

SIZE
|
|
aproximately
24" X 14" x 14" ( 600 mm X 350 mm X
350 mm )
in a
single setup, larger with repostioning
|
MATERIAL
|
|
this
is a contact technique so the harder the model the better
high
density foams are not a problem, low density urethane
and
styrofoam
are do-able with some surface preparation
|
OUTPUT
|
|
IGES
surface and wireframe, DXF, ASCII and STL for CAD
systems
POV,
3DM, OBJ and a variety of other meshes for rendering
we can reconstruct and fully develope trimmed
surfaces for you
provide
data for import to your CAD system, raw or preprocessed
NC code to drive your mill for pantographing and copymilling
|
RANGE
|
|
hearing
aid, toothbrush head, goggle lens, bottle, powertool
housing,
toys, spouts and faucets, massage tool, bicycle wheel
block, bicycle
helmet,
computer mice and trackball, gaming joystick, steel
forging,
hair trimmer, vacuum cleaner, golf club, LCD projector,
grips.
