Scanning with Faro & Geomagic Qualify
Scanning with Faro & Geomagic Qualify
(OP)
Hello Everyone,
Is anybody else scanning with a Faro using Geomagic software? I'm interested in learning what your settings are, in regards to scan rates/densities, in addition to other settings. I'm scanning large parts, such as a piece of automotive glass, or the outer surface of a door. I am using the Geomagic Qualify to take those scanned surfaces to make a file I can import into UG NX6 (unordered points, then wrap them, etc..) So far, I'm not happy with the quality of those scanned surfaces, and some file sizes are too large to work with.
Has anybody been through this? I'm curious how to improve what I am doing...
Thanks in advance

RE: Scanning with Faro & Geomagic Qualify
In our application we wanted to get CAD by using the scanner. A color on the target such as black would absord alot of the beam and result in a poor resolution.
good luck

I've seen that using a Faro scanner can have some great results, I'm just not getting them yet. I'm forging my way through using it, and I need a few tips...

Sorry, I'm just the recipient of the scans, next time I talk to the operator I'll ask him.
Cheers
