Software
VXelements: 3D Software Platform
The HandySCAN 3D scanners come with VXelements, a fully integrated 3D software platform that powers our entire fleet of 3D scanning and measurement technologies. The user-friendly software thrives off a sleek and simple working platform. gathering essential elements, including real-time visualization, it creates the best scanning experience.
Upon completing the scan, an optimized file is automatically created, significantly reducing the time involved in your inspection/design process.
VXscan: Scan Software Module
VXscan is entirely dedicated to the acquisition and optimization of 3D scanning data. It delivers high performance for that specific task, yet it is simple and user-friendly enough to suit any user’s experience level.
- User-friendly interface: VXelements was designed to simplify the whole scanning process to its essential core, through a powerful and simple process.
- Surface optimization algorithm: avoids the creation of multiple scan layers and ensures a more accurate mesh without any post-treatment;
- Direct mesh output: an optimized mesh can be exported in all standard formats, right as you complete acquisition. No complicated alignment or point cloud processing needed;
- No limitation to the scan resolution: you simply need to input a resolution value, independent from the size of the scanned object. Resolution can be changed at any time before/after the scan;
- Real-time visualization: the user can view the 3D surface as the object is being scanned;
- Scan results enhancement: hole filling, smart decimation, boundary filters, etc.
- Compatible Software: 3D Systems (Geomagic), InnovMetric (Polyworks), Dassault Systèmes (CATIA V5, SolidWorks), PTC (ProEngineer), Metrolog X4 and V5, Simens (NX and Solid Edge), Autodesk (Inventor, Alias, 3ds Max, Maya, Softimage)
Industries
