THE ALL-ROUNDER FOR SCAN DATA PROCESSING
The processing of optically and tactile measured data is an further processing of point clouds and polymer meshes
indispensable and efficient instrument in the development right up to the reverse engineering process quality control.
and manufacturing process in many industrial sectors and The innovative processes and process chains are based on
applications, such as tool and mould making and in quality the WM | PointMaster geometry kernel and ensure excel-
control. WM | PointMaster primarily supports users in the lent data quality and outstanding machining processes.

HIGHLIGHTS
New Compensation Module
Fully automatic calculation of error-compensated new tool geometry taking into account a nominal geometry, the
shrinkage factor of materials as well as the original tool geometry (represented in the process diagram for the compen-
sation of shrinkage and warpage for tool and mould making).

Reverse engineering
A surface boundary on the polymesh is sketched inter-
actively. The Geometry Navigator then calculates the
optimal boundary curves for this area and approximates
the surfaces. At the touch of a button, the entire sur-
face structure is given continuous curvature surfaces
(C2-continuity). A plus point of WM I PointMaster is
the visual support by the interactive feature “Shading”.

Artifacts and discontinuities as well as the form guidelines


important for the surface structure are displayed. New func-
tions such as surface trimming using B-Spline curves, the
transfer of surfaces created in CAD for reverse engineering
and rule geometry recognition round off the range of functions.
