Today we heard about a great use case for reverse engineering from some Rapidform XOR users in Germany:

Since 1981 Rosenberg Ventilatoren GmbH (http://www.rosenberg-gmbh.com), located in Künzelsau-Gaisbach, has developed into an outstanding centre of the air movement and air handling industry by

Rapidform XOS, XOR and XOV can create web pages with your 3D scan, CAD model or inspection result embedded as rotatable 3D models. They do this by creating an ICF (INUS Compression Format) file and an associated html file, which you can then place on…

On to the third installment of our tech tips on the Split Face command.  Did you know that XOR will automatically extend a surface if it’s too short to split another face? If you’re splitting a face by intersecting another surface, it will extend…

In our second installment on the Split Face command, I’d like to point out a difference between projecting 2D sketches and 3D sketches in XOR.

Using Split Face (found under Insert>Modeling Feature>Split Face), you can project a curve onto a face (surface or solid)…

Rapidform XOR has a pretty cool command called Split Face. It can be used for several different purposes, and one of them is to generate parting lines after you’ve created a CAD model from scan data.

Using Split Face to create parting lines

1) Go…

Rapidform is used for scientific research every day, but rarely does it help with such an important discovery as this: ancient human footprints found in Kenya reveal that our ancestors had…

Rapidform user Local Motors has posted another installment about how they’re using XOR with a Z Corp Z Scanner to create SolidWorks models of components for the new car they are creating.  Local Motors has only had Rapidform for about a month,…

Local Motors, who just bought Rapidform XOR, had this to say after their first day of training.

LM is a fascinating company.  They’re a spin-off of MIT that is working to make vehicle production a local, customized affair.  They’re combining advanced engineering…

We recently had a customer ask us this question:

I’m currently building a new machine for running RapidWorks, and we will have a great deal of scanning data to process, taken from very large objects requiring the merge of dozens of scans. We need to

Leica HDS laser scanners use Cyclone software to do initial processing and cleanup of the data.  If you want to use Leica HDS data in Rapidform, you can save the scans in Cyclone as .PTS or .PTX formats, both of which are supported by all…
