Reverse Engineering

Reverse Engineering is the process of converting a physical part into a CAD database using a measuring arm or a scanning device to capture the features of the part. Camplex offers a range of laser and optical scanners but many times a measuring arm with a point probe will do the job. The Baces3D arm and scanner is a cost effective solution for capturing the part features and combined with PowerSHAPE Pro reverse engineering software will quickly convert the data into a 3D CAD model. The data can be solids or surfaces and can be saved in many common CAD formats including IGES, STEP and Parasolid.

PowerSHAPE Pro is a powerful and easy-to-use surface and solids modeller very suited to model complex curved shapes. PowerSHAPE Pro is unique in that it can model wireframe geometry, surfaces, solids, triangles and point clouds in one single model space. The power of PowerSHAPE will greatly reduce the time required to convert the scan data into a CAD model.

For SolidWorks users we are offering HighRES reverse engineering software that runs inside SolidWorks and allows the SolidWork user to do the reverse enginnering in a familiar environment. HighRES works with several measuring arms including FARO, CIMCORE, Baces3D and MicroScribe. 

Camplex offers a range of scanning solutions, including hardware and software. Depending upon the application Camplex can tailor a complete system for reverse engineering, or laser based non-contact inspection.

Baces 3D  articulated portable CMMs are used for measuring applications where portability, speed and flexibility are essential. The articulated arms can quickly measure large parts up to 4.2M in diameter avoiding multiple setups that reduces accuracy and eliminates extra setup time. The Baces3D articulated arms are highly accurate measuring devices available in 5,6 and 7 axis configurations, measuring volumes and accuracy ranges. The Baces3d arm is known to offer the best price for performance in the industry and makes it a very competitive device for inspection and reverse engineering tasks. The Baces3D arm is available with a high precision laser scanner that collects up to 40,000 points per second making it an ideal system for real-time inspection and reverse engineering. The Baces3D arms have many features including, easy install, carbon fibre tubing, temperature compensation, internal cabling, on-site calibration, 12 months warranty.
