Reverse Engineering Tips 01

In this tip, we will review the advanced tools in Geomagic Design X for transforming point clouds into triangulated meshes. This is an intermediate process for obtaining the reverse engineering of a component.

Unlike the geospatial software we are used to, where triangulations are performed based on planar or cylindrical projections, for terrain or tunnel surveying applications, respectively, Geomagic Design X allows generating advanced triangulations without the need to define a geometric projection. This enables a free triangulation between points in an advanced and editable way.

We will see and analyze the different forms of advanced triangulation, where we will discuss the benefits and difficulties of each method.
