Anyone Using Catia Reverse Engineering 2 ?

[aeroengr12345]

I need a reverse engineering package to bring in multiple point cloud data in reverse engineering of parts.

Need to drop in, say, 5 point clouds of a part (5 different parts, all same part number). I have seen the demo of Cat RE2 and it seems very capable. But for $24k Im thinking other products such as Geomagics Rain Drop Studio 7 might work even better at around same cost.

Has anyone used Catia RE2 for bringing in point clouds, and if so can you compare/contrast its ability versus other such reverse engineering plug ins?

Thanks!

Hi Paul

I use Rapidform 2004 and its very good in Reverse engineering, it also recognizes spheres,cones,cilinders,palnes and free form shapes and extracted the corresponding surface.

For point cloud stuff in V5 I use the native QSR and DSE workbenches.
