3D Scanning & Reverse Engineering with Artec 3D Scanners
Brian Metzger, an Elite Application Engineer with TriMech, gave us an overview of how 3D scanning technology is making an impact, and it’s safe to say the varied applications are as diverse and creative as our clients themselves. Read what Brian shared in the interview below. Let’s start with a reminder about the 3D scanning…
3D printing takes digital files and brings them to life as objects in the real world. 3D scanning does just the opposite – it takes an existing object and captures it digitally. This blog discussing how adding high-resolution 3D scanning to your workflows can help your business make better decisions, save money and reduce your…
As much as we love our Artec 3D Scanners, the real magic of Artec’s technology comes from their software. Every year, Artec introduces performance improvements and new features that blow us away, giving us faster and more powerful tools while capturing more data than ever before. Last year, we got HD Mode, which doubled the…
Now that 3D scanners are much more common and accessible to different technical and non-technical fields and practices, it is a fantastic time for schools and universities to get their hands on a scanner for research and education. More engineers in the field are using 3D scanners to create micron-accurate meshes of real objects as…
Javelin Technologies, A TriMech Company hosts annual internal training meetings called Back to School during the month of August. The purpose of these meetings is to go “back to school” and learn from colleagues and management. This year, we were given the opportunity to participate in a video contest to encourage cross-training and teamwork. Being…
How to 3D print files from 3D scan data using Artec Leo and Stratasys J55
3D printing realistic prototypes is easier than ever before. Using the right technology can help bring your ideas to life quickly and easily! In this demonstration video, we use the Artec Leo, Artec Studio software, and the J55 3D printer to make a realistic miniature head model of Cory Green, Javelin’s 3D Scanning Product Manager….
Artec 3D scanners are used in a wide variety of industrial applications, scanning objects small and large, to easily capture data while reducing time and costs. Even with the best professional scanners, a 3D scanning spray is sometimes necessary to help capture all the intricate details of reflective and transparent parts. Javelin Technologies now offers…
When using SOLIDWORKS to create CAD models of complex, high-detail meshes, you need to start with a first-rate 3D scan of the model, such as this example from an Artec Space Spider 3D scanner. Then use the SOLIDWORKS Mesh Decimation tool to simplify the geometry. Using an Artec Scanner you are guaranteed detailed scanned models…
You must have the SOLIDWORKS ScanTo3D Add-in enabled before you can save parts as the ScanTo3D 3DS file format. There are a few ways for you to enable SOLIDWORKS add-ins as described in this blog article. However, saving the part files directly as a ScanTo3D file format shows the warning message stating: “No available entities…
