Hi Tom, I just found this thread and am very interested in scanning 3D images but have yet to get set up for that. What would you use to edit the images once they are scanned?
Hello GAWnCA,
I would like the answer to that one myself. My area of expertise is the optics.
I use Rhino to show the point cloud but have not had time to go beyond that. I figure the folks that work with touch probes should have a solution to share. Maybe you should start a new topic to search for point cloud to something-or-other converters.
Art was working on Mach Cloud to convert point cloud files to more CNC friendly files but I never could get that to work. Point spacing might have been a problem. Also, Art used metric for his demos and I used imperial for my data. Could be a mismatch of some sort there.
