Types of Creaform 3D Scanning Software and Their Applications
Creaform’s VXelements suite includes several specialised modules that enhance the functionality and efficiency of 3D scanning and measurement processes. Here’s a brief overview of four key modules.
VXmodel | SCAN-to-CAD Software Module
The simplest path from 3D scans to your CAD software or additive manufacturing workflow
VXmodel is a post-processing module designed to bridge the gap between 3D scanning and CAD applications. It allows users to clean, align, and convert 3D scan data into usable CAD formats, making it ideal for reverse engineering. With VXmodel, users can perform mesh editing, surface modelling, and prepare data for 3D printing or further CAD work.
VXinspect | Dimensional Inspection Software Module
The most intuitive and integrated 3D inspection solution
VXinspect is a dimensional inspection software that enables quality control and quality assurance professionals to perform inspections and generate reports based on meticulous engineering requirements.
Whether for performing simple dimensional analysis or building an extensive inspection program, VXinspect offers a complete toolset for all inspection workflows, with no compromises on measurement quality or GD&T requirements.
VXscan-R | Digital Twin Environment Software Module
The most intuitive programming and acquisition platform for automated 3D scanning
VXscan-R is an offline programming software that enables non-experts in 3D scanning or robotics to obtain optimal dimensional measurements in the shortest cycle time.
With VXscan-R’s scanning intelligence and dedicated functions, programming robot paths, and optimising the line of sight and scanning speed become simple and easy, simplifying the deployment of automated quality control systems.
VXscan-R is the key to more efficient robotic cell management, solving programming and security issues and helping non-experts feel more confident when working with robotic systems.
VXtrack | Dynamic Tracking Measurement Software Module
An accurate and repeatable tool to track multiple objects in time and space
VXtrack is a dynamic tracking module that enables production and process engineers to obtain the position and orientation of multiple objects in time and space. Because measurements are taken simultaneously and accurately, VXtrack can easily control displacements, drive assembly processes, and measure deformations.
Thanks to the simplicity of optical tracking, VXtrack is ideal for numerous applications, including calibrating and guiding robots, monitoring complex assembly processes, and compensating for both machine tool positioning errors throughout manufacturing and deformations during testing.
These four modules work together within the VXelements suite to provide a comprehensive solution for 3D data acquisition, inspection, and analysis.
