Delcam's reverse engineering software CopyCAD is a complete point data manipulation and transformation solution, enabling dental technicians to quickly and accurately bridge the gap between the physical and digital world by reading any point cloud data set, whether it is generated by a CMM, touch trigger, laser or optical hardware system.
CopyCAD's position as a part of Delcam's Reverse Engineering solution offers users the ability to utilise the power of Visual Basic to create very simple customised functions helping to connect the different elements of the process.
- Automate split line detection
- Filtering and cropping
- Automated STL file repair
- Alignment of multiple scans
- Ability to fully automate the design process
- Customise and reduce your design to manufacturing process
CopyCAD has a wide range of automatic point filters for reducing and smoothing point cloud data. It has a full range point manipulation and filtering tools such as spike removal, or the smoothing out of uneven data.
Smooth Out Digitised Data
CopyCAD enables users to
- Generate engineering surfaces from scanned models
- Capture the feature content for 3D visualisation, Product Archiving, Copymilling, FEA etc.
- Compare part or surface features to the actual prosthetic or CAD model
CopyCAD is quick, simple and interactive, offering even casual users the power to quickly solve data capture problems, from getting point cloud data to surfaces. It has a set of verification tools, which enable users to measure the difference between different data sets, whether they are point clouds, triangle meshes or surfaces.
To support the user during the surface fitting process, CopyCAD automatically generates graphical information describing the relationship between the original point cloud and the resultant surface created. This enables the user to ascertain the quality of the surface they have created at the click of a button.
The scanned data set can even be scaled prior to verification to account for any shrinkage allowance when applied to a prosthetic, in the design process.
