Software: custom functions

Automatic vectorization of curves (ex. style lines):
  • The SCANNY3D device allows to capture the style lines drawn on the 3D model's surface (for example onto a last surface) using a common pencil or marker.
  • The acquisition of the style lines can obtained at the same time of the digitalization of the surface.
  • The operator can edit or adjust interactively the "spline" curves drawn on the 3D model's surface, related to the style lines.
  • The information related to the style lines captured by SCANNY3D can be exported as "texture mapping" of the 3D model's surface and stored to file in several graphic formats.

Last's profiles:
  • A special function dedicated to the footwear industry allows to generate automatically the main profiles of a last (i.e. the sole contour) acquired by SCANNY3D.
  • The operator can edit or adjust interactively the "spline" curves generated by the software.

Heel's profiles:
  • A special function dedicated to the footwear industry allows to generate automatically the main profiles of a heel acquired by SCANNY3D.
  • The software is able to detect the base's contour, the crown's contour and the vertical edges.
  • The operator can edit or adjust interactively the "spline" curves generated by the software.

Flattening curves:
  • A special function allows to develop a profile contained on the 3D model's surface onto a plane.
  • The developed profiles can be exported into a file in several file formats.
  • This function is mainly designed for the footwear industry (i.e. the develop of the main profiles of a last).

Cutting planes:
  • A special function allows to cut the 3D model acquired by SCANNY3D through the interactive definition of a cutting plane.
  • The sections generated by the cutting plane can be exported to external CAD software as 2D or 3D contours in several file formats.
  • In the footwear industry this function allows the semi-automatic determination of the perimeter of a last ("fit").

3D Quality control:
  • A new developed functionality allows to make the 3D quality control by sample within the software Scanny3D.
  • The operator can compare the 3D model obtained with our scanners with a given reference model.
  • Automatically the software generates an error map based on the appropriate tolerances set.

Packaging:
  • Within the Scanny3D software were introduced some functionalities dedicated to the packaging industry for the digitization of bottles, glasses and containers of any shape and material.
  • Possibility to realign automatically the 3D scanned model.
  • The software provides all dimensional information (volume, area, sections perimeter...) related to the 3D model.
  • The operator can evaluate the stability of the scanned bottles by analysing the symmetry and the trajectory of the barycentres of each section, given by the software.

Print:
  • The print functionality allow to print a document containing all the geometrical data of the 3D model, the orthogonal views (frontal, lateral, top and axonometric) and the section of the 3D model chosen.
  • The user can customize this document by activating some specific options.
