With them you can section scan data to fit surfaces through smaller subsections. Many modeling commands are enhanced. The Bi-rail Loft now supports rails from a cylinder or cone, and the FEM Patch lets you orient surface direction figure 5. It recreates fillets after draft is applied and automatically identifies all holes associated with an imported face. Figure 3a: The Morph Shape commands let you grab a point, edge, or curve on any face and change it, Morph by offset.
The Morph Shape commands are not unique in the industry. They are however, very easy to use considering the number of options available. It's very impressive. Figure 3b: The Morph Shape commands let you grab a point, edge, or curve on any face and change it, Morph curve to curve before. A continuing trend in today's mechanical CAD applications is the integration of tools that were once third-party applications.
These are welcome tools. Figure 3c: The Morph Shape commands let you grab a point, edge, or curve on any face and change it, Morph curve to curve after.
A bonus is the ability to detail both open surface and closed solid models in a similar manner, without limitations. Version 10 adds some new 2D functionalities worth mentioning. Hidden-line creation is faster—the company notes a 10X improvement in creating complex hidden-line views. Also new are an option for creating Bent Section views figure 7 , a Do Not Section attribute, a weld symbol generator, and controls that synchronize layer use between the model and the drawing.
Figure 3d: The Morph Shape commands let you grab a point, edge, or curve on any face and change it, Morph with curve. Machining with VX CAM Earlier in my career I spent two years as mold designer—a stark contrast to my previous ten years as a product designer. The hours were long.
I had to work with 3D part data from many different CAD systems, pump out multiple mold designs at the same time, and send that data directly to the CAM operators on the shop floor. VX CAM, with 2. Figure 3e: The Morph Shape commands let you grab a point, edge, or curve on any face and change it, Morph with point. Version 10 extends the CAM module further with a new 5-axis side cut operation, multiface chamfering, toolpath transformations arrays , CAM sketching, boosted performance during solid verification, and a native VX postprocessor.
The major improvements to VX CAM actually began in a prior release, when the user interface was completely revamped. Because of this, v10 makes it very easy for beginners to create and visualize toolpaths. Figure 4. New point-cloud manipulation capabilities in VX v10, such as thinning, sectioning, and surfacing, let you process very large point cloud files from a number of high-end scanners.
Figure 5. Bottom Line I last reviewed VX v6. Version 10 is yet another step in the right direction for VX's flagship product line. Figure 6. You may wonder if there's anything I don't like about this product. There is, but it's mostly cosmetic. The user interface was redesigned in v6. The VXmodel alignment tool is highly flexible and straightforward. VXmodel only provides the needed tools and features to integrate 3D scan data into your favorite CAD software, where all design and modeling capabilities are already available.
With its intuitive functions, you can easily extract the required information from the mesh and transfer it to the CAD platform in order to generate the CAD entities for your 3D modeling.
Geometric entities can be easily extracted from the mesh to complete the design in any CAD software. With a simple right-click, geometric entities can be transferred directly to the following CAD software:. Ask an expert.
Thanks to its intuitiveness and efficiency, VXmodel allows you to accelerate your product development and, thereby, your time-to-market. VXmodel scan-to-CAD software offers you the flexibility to clean, align, and optimize the scanned data, as well as allowing you to extract dimensional information from the mesh before transferring it to CAD software. With VXmodel, you can develop new innovative products with complex shapes and designs.
This way, you gain new customers by pushing your product development further, where your competitors cannot go. VXmodel enables you to extract all of the necessary dimensional information from 3D scans and use them for different retrofitting purposes, such as for replacing damaged components, updating obsolete parts, or fitting new parts into a specific assembly.
VXmodel offers powerful preparation and improvement tools, which enables you to quickly edit the mesh and align 3D scan data. Once the 3D scan has been cleaned, an optimized mesh is ready for 3D printing or other applications. Book a demo. Brochure: VXelements: Fully integrated 3D software platform. Whether your focus is product development, reverse engineering, or quality control, we have the right 3D scanner for your application. Packages Teachers Researchers.
Contact Customer Center We're hiring. Request more information. Enhance your workflow with direct transfer to the following CAD software. What can VXmodel offer you? Clean mesh Fill holes Merge meshes Decimate mesh Make mesh watertight. STEP 2 Align 3D scans must be aligned to the coordinate system before exporting, which is a simple but crucial finalization step.
Entity-based alignment Best fit alignment.
