LASER
DESIGN PARTNERS WITH MECSOFT FOR TOOLPATH CREATION DIRECTLY FROM 3D SCAN
DATA
|
|
MINNEAPOLIS, MN - Laser Design Inc. announced a distribution agreement with MecSoft (www.mecsoft.com)
for its VisualMill toolpath programming software.
The company believes that this new software will streamline its
Reverse Engineering capabilities since users will now be able to go
directly from 3D STL scan data to toolpaths without needing to generate a
surface model. VisualMill, a
Windows-based 3-axis solid/surface/STL manufacturing system, offers
fast gouge-free solids/surface/STL model machining technology.
VisualMill is loaded with features that
allow for efficient toolpath generation and verification. Some of these
features include: |
|
-
Rough
Milling and Finish Milling
-
Refinishing
-
Curve-based
Finishing
-

Since
1987, Laser Design Inc. has been the leading supplier of ultra-precise,
3-D laser scanning systems and services used for capturing the 3-D shape
of objects with complex geometries and free-form surfaces.
Laser Design’s Surveyor line of automated and portable scanning
systems are ideal for 3-D applications such as computer-aided
verification, discrete dimensional measurements, reverse engineering,
rapid prototyping, and manufacturing from scan data. The company’s
patented laser line-probe technology dramatically reduces scanning time by
collecting data substantially faster and more accurately than conventional
metrology technologies.
The 16-year-old company also operates an in-house Service Bureau
offering complete 3D scanning, modeling and inspection services.
