Webinar: Large Scale Reverse Engineering Using 3D Laser Scanning

June 15, 2010 from 2:00-3:00PM EST

Reverse Engineering is the process of duplicating an existing part, sub-assembly or product, without the use of documentation or of a CAD model. Large Scale Reverse Engineering Using 3D Laser Scanning will demonstrate how advancements in 3D laser scanning technology have allowed engineers the flexibility to use this non-contact measurement solution to create as-built part reproduction accurately and efficiently. In this webinar you will learn:
  • Laser scanning - what it is and how does it work
  • Using the laser scanner to document large objects
  • Registering multiple data sets
  • Using scan data in point cloud software
  • Using scan data with other down stream applications
