RAPIDFORM XO

XOS/Scan

With Rapidform XOS, you can now process raw 3D scan data into high quality meshes and NURBS surface models in just a few minutes. Automated wizard based tools step you through the optimization of point clouds or meshes from any 3D scanner. Once the scan data is optimized, you can export high quality meshes. Or you can use XOS’s one button autosurfacing technology to make watertight NURBS surface models, which you can export as IGS or STP files.

The Right Software for Surface Based Reverse Engineering

As the sister product of Rapidform XOR, XOS has the same extensive professional-level toolset for taking in data from any 3D scanner and creating polygon mesh models and NURBS surface models quickly. These models are perfect for rapid prototyping, analysis, rendering, and any other application that doesn’t require parametric, editable CAD solids (for editable CAD models, see Rapidform XOR).

Key features of Rapidform XOS :

  • liveScan direct control of popular 3D scanners
  • Support for over 20 scan data formats
  • Triangulation, alignment & merging of multiple scan shots
  • Hole filling, smoothing and optimization of meshes
  • Texture & vertex color editing for color 3D scans
  • Automatic NURBS surfacing

XOR/Redesign

XOR makes editable CAD models from 3D scan data. Rapidform XOR/Redesign is the first software solution that allows users to go from 3D scan data to a fully parametric CAD model. While traditional 3D scan data processing software has focused solely on optimizing polygon mesh models or generating high quality NURBS surfaces from 3D scan data, the needs of those who require editable CAD solid/surface models from 3D scan data have been largely ignored. Rapidform XOR addresses the limitations of existing 3D scan data processing software by complementing its mesh modeling and NURBS surfacing capabilities with newly developed CAD modeling capabilities, providing users with the tools to go from 3D scan data to a parametric CAD model. Before the development of Rapidform XOR, those who wanted to make design modifications to their reverse engineered models in their CAD applications were forced to :

1. Export an un-editable, "dumb" surface model that was difficult to edit 2. Recreate a parametric CAD model through a variety of workarounds which require multiple software applications and do not ensure accuracy

Creating a parametric CAD model from 3D scan data allows users to fully realize the value of 3D scanning. Rapidform XOR features a set of tools designed specifically to address the unique requirements of reverse engineering, ensuring that the final redesigned model is built within user-defined tolerances.

Key Benefits of Rapidform XOR/Redesign :

  • Easy to Use A reduced learning curve through the use of a familiar CAD interface and design process
  • A Great Time Saver A design process that removes the time consuming requirement of cleaning the scan data of a part
  • All-in-one A single software solution that fulfills the scan data processing, mesh healing and CAD modeling needs
  • Automated A intelligent tool that automatically extracts design feature parameters from 3D scan data – Redesign Assistant™
  • Removes doubt A built in, real time deviation analysis tool – Accuracy Analyzer™
  • Easy Alignment A smart tool that intelligently indentify and align 3D scan data to an ideal design coordinate system – Align Wizard™

XOV/Verifier

3D scan based inspection is an important new trend, but the technology has been complex and difficult to implement in a conventional QA environment. The technology often does not fit into existing inspection process pipelines because it is not built around the user’s process.

3D scan based inspection systems consist of sophisticated technology components that can’t be managed with simple mea-suring and inspection software. 3D scan based ins-pection systems (hardware and soft-ware) must be process-centric and integrated into existing QA workflows in order to be effec-tive. That is why Systematic Inspect-ion Processing™ is indispensa-ble to revolutionize the conven-tional product design and manufacturing processes through effectively adopting 3D scanning technology in the current QA infrastructures.

Rapidform XOV/Verifier is the world’s first software for Sys-tematic Inspection Processing using dense point cloud data. It is the only software of its kind that is built around the customer inspection process, with detailed planning and fast and easy execution of inspection process-ing. Built for accuracy and speed, if offers real time scan-to-CAD and scan-to-scan comparison and industry-proven geometric dimension & tolerance. It is the only point-cloud software with 100% repeatable inspection processing in the world. Rapidform XOV can be easily operated by either design & production professionals or shop floor technicians.

Rapidform XOV maximizes the innovations in 3D scanner technology, providing the world with the most advanced 3D scan data inspection software. Rapidform XOV offers extremely accurate Scan-to-CAD, Scan-to-STL and Scan-to-Scan comparisons as well as geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) at incredible speeds. Rapidform XOV has been recognized globally for its accuracy by the German PTB, the American NIST and the British NPL.

InspectWorks

InspectWorks™ is an Add-in for SolidWorks that enables quick, first-article inspection from 3D scan data right inside your native CAD environment.

InspectWorks is fast and easy to use, so you can check part quality right at your desk. You simply scan your part with a 3D scanner, import it into SolidWorks, and InspectWorks aligns the scan to your part, shows deviation by coloring the model, and instantly calculates all dimensions and tolerances defined on the part. Use it to quickly check a prototype, or figure out assembly fit problems — and then immediately update your design! Compare any SolidWorks design to any scanned physical part.

And because it’s built on the same industry-leading architecture as Rapidform XOV, InspectWorks is accurate, industry-tested, and fast. With InspectWorks, you get deviation color maps, dimensions and tolerance measurements on virtually any part in 10 minutes!
