Creaform, a business unit of AMETEK, Inc. and an international leader in portable 3D measurement solutions and engineering services, today announced its 20th anniversary.e anniversary, the launch of VXelements 10. New features include the licensing of cloudThe MetraSCAN-R 3D is also compatible with collaborative robots (cobots).
VXelements is an integrated 3D measurement software platform that dates back to 2005, when version 1.0 of VXscan, Creaform's first software module, was launched. It features several acquisition and application modules - VXscan, VXprobe, VXshot, VXmodel, VXtrack, VXinspect, VXscan-R.
" This new software offering sets new standards in metrology, inspection and reverse engineering. Our goal was to create a unique, cutting-edge set of tools, working in perfect synergy with Creaform's arsenal of 3D measurement solutions. "says François Lachance, Product Manager - Software at Creaform.
Discover some of the new features and benefits of VXelements 10 below.
Global improvements: A new cloud licensing system has been introduced to facilitate license sharing between users within the same company. This system makes software investments more profitable by encouraging cooperation between team members, thus speeding up and simplifying collaborative projects.
VXscan 3D module for acquisition and optimization: Improvements have been made to the merge scan files function in the new version of VXscan: optimized processing capacity, new target alignment and the option of retaining original data.
VXmodel scan-to-CAD module: The VXmodel module for scan-to-CAD now features a versatile tool for entity modification and a new cross-section function (resizing planes, distances and cutting angles using "arbitrary" entities).
VXinspect module for dimensional inspection: end-users now have the freedom to import and use multiple CAD models in VXinspect. This simplifies work with symmetrical objects and enables assembly parts to be processed quickly.
VXscan-R module for digital twinning environment: Automated metrology is now more accessible than ever. The VXscan-R uses collaborative robots (cobots) to simplify the deployment of scanning cells, and leverages best-in-class scanning technologies with off-line programming software.
