ReverseEngineering.com Announces Plug-ins

By DE Editors

ReverseEngineering.com (La Jolla,  CA), provider of CAD integrated reverse engineering software for measurement,  3D digitizing, and scanning physical models, announced that its plug-in for Autodesk Inventor 2009 has been certified by the Autodesk Inventor Certified Applications Program.

Such certified applications are designed to meet guidelines that demonstrate the highest levels of robustness, quality, and interoperability with Autodesk Inventor. Its new features include the ability to create models from point clouds that are true native files and can be used for creation of surfaces,  solids, drawings, and assemblies.

The certified ReverseEngineering.com plug-in allows users to select Autodesk Inventor sketch planes and create digitized arcs, circles, lines, and splines in real time. New users are able to navigate quickly between the mouse and PCMM because the new user interface supports ease-of-use.

In a second announcement, ReverseEngineering.com released a plug-in for PTC’s Pro/Engineer Wildfire 4, which allows users to design faster while maintaining high quality products. In order to create digitized datums, lines, splines,  arcs, and circles, the company says its Pro/Engineer Wildfire 4 plug-in embodies a new user interface supports switching digitizing between millimeters and inches.

The “align laser scan point clouds to PCMM coordinates” allows the plug-in for Pro/Engineer Wildfire 4.0 to work with scanned points and sketch features in a model tree. X, Y, and Z read out while all of the digitizing features have been enhanced for real time digitizer cursor position.

The simplified lock plane point cloud processing is available through HighRES Integrated Point Processor (HIPP), making complex sheet metal designs conceivable with the plug-in.
