Typical Scanning Applications
We at Rapid3D get asked very often, what kinds of things can you do with your 3D Laser Scanners. We thought we would put together a short list of ideas and each newsletter we will continue to add new and interesting applications as they come up: Prototyping: Many designers create new designs using many different…
Project Spotlight: Tangent Design Engineering
Rapid3D recently got the opportunity to participate in a project with Tangent Design Engineering through the Applied Research and Innovation department at Red Deer College. Our role in the project was to provide an accurate 3D scan of the major components on the inside of the ambulance, front and back. Next Generation Ambulance Study The…
Reverse Engineering Study
So it?s no surprise that a recent study funded by the U.S. Air Force found that ?Rapidform is the only viable choice for parametric solid modeling? from 3D scans. The study, conducted by Professor Kuang-Hua Chang of the University of Oklahoma, took three months and compared Rapidform with both dedicated reverse engineering software and mainstream…
