19 Feb 2010ACCURACY AND RESOLUTION IMPROVEMENT
When we think of future laser scanning, first thing that comes in mind is an accuracy and resolution improvement. But this is not the big deal…
First parameters to consider are from an engineering point of view and are limited by price and engineering capabilities. Structural rigidity of the scanner itself has virtually [...]
Remember in september when we scanned the HTT plethore.
They published a video on youtube, have a look.
The Wonderful World of Packaging Design in 3D
By: Émilie Girard-Tremblay
9 Dec 2009After having read an article in the French cad.magazine, I felt like discussing the subject. I feel the packaging industry is very innovative and keeps pushing back limits to pique the interest of everyone, and particularly of us, consumers!
Not only do they push back the limits of aesthetics, but they also push back the limits [...]

Reverse Engineering and Design of a crash helmet
By: Nicolas Grabowski
23 Sep 2009I worked on a project where the client asked for a CATIA V5 file to start up the production of his product – a crash helmet. I found this project very interesting, because it called upon various skills of a CAD specialist like myself – reverse engineering, styling and the master of a product’s technical [...]
