Scansite Case Study #149...

Reverse Engineering a wood saw handle.

Problems and Opportunities: A wood saw handle was provided by the client. Molds were to be created for manufacturing duplicate parts from plastic.

Downstram Application: An iges128 (Nurbs) CAD model was required. The CAD model will be exported to ProEngineer for mold creation.

Solution:
1.Original wood model. 2. The model was scanned in polygon format using our proprietary 3-D scanning systems.
3. A Nurbs surface (iges128) CAD model was created. The Nurbs surface is "watertight" and all patch boundaries are tangent. 4. A solid has been created from the iges128 Nurbs surface mode
5. The Nurbs surface has been interrogated for fidelity with the polygonized mesh and a color map generated (purple indicates zero deviation). This file is now ready for use in almost any downstream CAD program, including SolidWorks, ProEngineer, Catia, SDRC IDEAS, Solid Edge, Mechanical Desktop, SurfCam, MasterCam, DelCam, etc.
