We usually import point clouds in .PTS or PTX format. .E57 typically comes from LIDAR systems such as Leica or ZF You will need to convert from .E57 to .PTX to bring it in Design X. If you have Cyclone see if there is an option to output .PTX Files.
@@EMS3D are there any supported tutorials for the 2016 version? I downloaded the STL file that the video is working on, but it was different. The surfaces of the file I downloaded are not exactly the same, and going on with the steps doesn't give the same results.
HiThe best way to work, to save time and for accurancy matter when working on symetric Model is to define a symetry axis, then work on one side of the model and when everything is completed, You make the symetry or Miror command of that half of the CAD Model and export the entier model On Catia I did the Audi A4 car Model, and the Sukhoi SU 35 Aircraft on SolidWork. The Miror/symetry command can save half of working time, with better precision.
Thanks for the great video! When I try to auto segment my scan data, I’m getting 1000’s a small segments instead of real nice clean simple segments like you’re getting. Should a smooth and decimate the mesh more ?
@@ChromedOutDubs These settings are in the Autosegment command. This would be after the scanning is complete. If you scan is really rough I would try using the Global Remesh command first.
EMSTampa thanks for the input! I feel like every scan from the FARO blue LLP is jittery (if that’s the proper word) I feel as maybe my scanner setting are maybe to sensitive possibly, who knows.
@@ChromedOutDubs Is the scanner arm base and work piece securely locked down? Any movement in either one will show up in your scan data. If it is then your system might need factory re-calibration. If your encoders are not working properly you data can look rough.
disappointing... All we gained from a cloud of points by scanning, is only used to reform the solid manually.... AI is really expected to make all that pretty tedious work easier.
It’ll probably take some time for AI to do this. It’s not about recreating the scan using parametric solids, which would be fairly simple. It’s about taking into account the original manufacturing process, the product life cycle and it’s consequences to the part.. and then you have to take care of the measuring errors, too. It’s that what makes reverse engineering so fascinating to me. You really have to be experienced, smart and creative to master it. This is the best video I’ve seen capturing the basics, though. Good job!
Agree it is part art and part science. Just like self driving cars can't predict everything correctly and sometimes they make the wrong choice. They are only as smart as you make them. It's difficult to know every situation you could ever encounter whether driving or creating a CAD model. Every situation is different and sometimes there is no right answer.

Can you send me design x setup
Awesome. Thanks. One of the best dx tutorials on you tube.
Hello, You may visit this channel for Reverse Engineering tutorial videos using NX CAD. Thanks.

Wow thanks mr i learned a lot from this video as i am a beginner in Geomagic.
Amazing sir I Love you
This is great! I just bought a FARO Scan Arm with Blue Laser - No idea how to use it. I need to hire you to come educate my staff!
We can provide software training if need be.
Thanks for the information!
Which was the format you imported the cloud of points? I got it in .E57 and .dwf but I can't introduce it in design X. Any suggestion?

Excellent tutorial, congratulations
Thanks. Let us know what other subjects you would like us to cover.
عالی بود استاد عزیز
thank you very much!!
Thank you so much
Any time
It's a great tutorial, I'm asking about the version of Geomagic Design X you are using?
This video was done with Design X 2016. The newest version is Design X 2020.

You are correct. For this example we are keeping in simple.

Did you try adjusting the Sensitivity and Mesh Roughness settings? If that doesn't work you can manually create your regions.
EMS3D Is that pre or post scan?

You're welcome
Software name please, i don't know you use software?

Could I contact you by email?? I have to convert a complex cloud of points to a CAD solid
info@ems3d.com
Any chance you can share the stl file please?
Sure. Here you go. spaces.hightail.com/receive/wjdT4jfEpt
Anyone know what this software costs?
Feel free to contact us to discuss pricing.
