Auto-Alignment of Mesh-to-CAD

Auto-Alignment of Mesh-to-CAD

Aligning a scanned mesh with a CAD model manually can be a time-consuming and tedious process, particularly for complex objects. The automatic alignment function can significantly reduce the amount of time and effort required for this task. Additionally, this function makes the process more efficient and reducing the risk of errors or inconsistencies.

Precise Datum Alignment For Scan To CAD

Precise Datum Alignment For Scan To CAD

Even when your scan is an impeccable digital replica of a part or object, if it isn’t properly aligned with its corresponding CAD reference model, any variances that show up can be unreliable due to misalignment. Datum alignment enables metrology professionals to align meshes and CAD models using key geometric features in just a few clicks, ensuring there are no slight variances from misalignment. This empowers you to make decisions based on data you can trust.

Precise Datum Alignment For Scan To CAD

Methods of Measurement

Calculate the distance between mesh-CAD pairs in different ways–distance mapping, from one point to another, or with primitive shapes–to ensure your alignment is perfectly perpendicular or parallel.

2D Sectional Analysis

2D Sectional Measurement and Analysis

Break models down into segments and inspect them in-depth, area-by-area, with Artec Studio Section Analysis. Automatically align models and meshes, before deploying 2D cross-section analysis to find discrepancies. Designed to minimize deviations, this feature is perfect for ensuring accuracy during quality inspection or reverse engineering.

Automate Defect Detection

Automate Defect Detection

With 3D Compare Map, there’s no need to inspect a model’s surface manually, as it identifies inaccuracies much faster. Pinpoint its least accurate areas at pace, by asking the software’s algorithm to search for maximum deviations in mesh-CAD pairs. Add annotations, take a screenshot of your results, or export your distance map results as a CSV file for further analysis.

Tolerance check mode

Tolerance Check Mode

Working with a part that needs to meet industry-specific tolerances? Enter Tolerance Check Mode and your 3D map will be re-rendered, with areas outside specified limits highlighted.

Optimize Part Thickness

Optimize Part Thickness

Discover where and why thickness variations occur with Thickness Mapping. A thickness map can be used as a tool for quality control to ensure that an object is manufactured to the correct thickness specifications. It can identify areas where the thickness deviates from the target, allowing for early detection of manufacturing errors and reducing the likelihood of costly rework.

Primitives For Accurate Measurements

Primitives For Accurate Measurements

Convert sections of your mesh into primitives–spheres, cones, planes, cylinders, boxes, and torus. Use these simple geometrical shapes to perform highly accurate measurements directly in Artec Studio. For example, measure the deviation of a surface from a plane or a hole from a fitted cylinder or sphere.

CGI Tools

Get amazing color 3D models.

Use Artec Studio’s host of CGI tools, including full-color 3D scan data, texturizing via photogrammetry, and auto glare removal to create replica 3D models with perfect geometry and color representation.

Color Texture Workflow in Artec Studio

Artec Studio color texture scene
  • Path A

    When you are doing 3D scanning with Artec’s 3D scanners (with the exception of Artec Eva Lite and Artec Point), color texture is already captured.

  • Path B

    If you require the highest quality color texture, you can combine geometry data from your Artec scanner with texture data from an external camera or a smartphone. Create extra realistic, texture-perfect 3D assets for games, animation, VR/AR applications, and more.

Boost Color Contrast With AI

Boost Color Contrast With AI

Artec Studio is now capable of using a AI to decode raw texture frames in a way that improves color contrast, doubles scan resolution, and improves overall texture quality.

Auto-Alignment of Mesh-to-CAD

Scene Lighting Optimization

This feature enables to create realistic renders by replicating real-world lighting scenarios. By moving the light source, it is possible to highlight specific features, textures, or contours in your model, enhancing their visibility and appeal.

Photorealistic Texture

Create Photorealistic Texture By Using High Quality Photos from Your Digital SLR or Smartphone for Texture Mapping

Artec Studio’s photo viewing mode for applying high-resolution photos to high-accuracy scans refines the process of creating texture-perfect, professional 3D models for CGI. Easily preview photos, check their fit to the model’s geometry, and remove any images with defects, overexposure, or poor lighting. The new photo-texturing algorithm also sorts images into groups by size, camera type, or focal distance for simpler registration.

Mesh Alignment by Scale Algorithm

Mesh Alignment by Scale Algorithm Makes It Easy To Match The Scale Of One Mesh To Another

When you capture an object with photogrammetry, its real dimensions in 3D are unknown without the use of additional tools (targets, a scale bar, or a tape measure). The mesh alignment by scale algorithm allows you to match the arbitrary scale of a model created with photogrammetry to the real scale of a model captured by an Artec scanner, directly in Artec Studio.

Automatic Glare Removal Feature

Automatic Glare Removal Feature

Get Rid Of Noticable Glares In Your Scans

When a 3D scanner collects scan data, it often uses a light source. Some surfaces may reflect the light, causing uneven and unwanted glare. The Automatic Glare Removal feature uses advanced PBR algorithms to eliminate glare from your 3D scans. Retouching scans manually is tedious and time-consuming. Artec Studio balances the lighting in the final model, saving you time and delivering stunning 3D models without the need for manual adjustments.

Export For Industry Use

Get the scan data in commonly used industry file formats.

Once 3D capturing and post-processing is complete, export your 3D models into various formats and use them in your favorite software application.
