External rendering software
Human-factors software | After capturing a basic image by a portable CMM, engineering programs transform the image into more useful shapes. A few compatible formats include CAM2 Measure X, Catia, Pro/E, STEP, and VDA. |
Where Reverse Engineering Makes SenseRE works well in: - Design, by adapting a structure to a mating surface and to compress the time-to-market cycles.
- Development, by rapid prototyping and prototype testing, for ergonomic, flow testing, or other evaluations.
- Tool making, by reducing the time required to develop tooling and improve tool accuracy.
- Repair, by creating new parts from old, fractured, or worn originals.
- Fabrication, by creating elements of materialhandling systems or other processes.
- Manufacturing, by developing one-off pieces of equipment or structures.
