Title: Contact Probe
Post by: xb70xb36 on April 30, 2007, 08:07:49 PM

I AM NEW TO CNC, CAM, CAD ECT.... I AM LOOKING AT A DeskCNC TP-100 Probe and Toolsetter TO DIGITIZE A PART THAT I WANT TO REPRODUCE. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ SO FAR I THINK I CAN USE MACH3 3D PROBING TO DIGITIZE MY PART INTO A "POINT CLOUD" BUT I AM UNCLEAR WHAT I NEED TO DO WITH IT AT THAT POINT. WILL MACH3 DEAL WITH IT OR DO I NEED A CAD PROGRAM TO FINISH OUT THE CLOUDIN TO SOMETHING I CAN USE?
