ICEM Features Latest Reverse Engineering And Surface Modeling Software Tools At Eurostampi 2005
ICEM Ltd is demonstrating its latest developments in software for reverse engineering and surface modeling on its booth, No. 37, hall 6, at this year's Europstampi show. Demonstrations of the company's ICEM Surf and ICEM RevEng software products show how they are used to create a digital surface model from a 3D scan of an existing, physical object and then to refine the surface model for use in the development of new tooling for a variety of manufacturing processes.
ICEM's recently announced ICEM RevEng software product has been developed for those who don't necessarily need to create Class A surface models but who simply need a cost-effective way of creating digital surface models of existing, physical objects, either for archive purposes, for further development using other ICEM software products, or for use in other applications, such as tool design.
Demonstrations of ICEM RevEng at Eurostampi include the 3D scanning of a physical object, the quick and easy conversion of the resulting point cloud data into a surface model and how the various tools available within the software are used for comparing the surface model with the scan data, for matching scan data and surface model data to existing design data and for analyzing the quality of the resulting surface model.
New vehicles from some of the world's leading automotive companies feature in the demonstrations of ICEM Surf, the automotive industry's software of choice for Class A surfaces development. In addition to its well-established surface modeling and analysis capabilities, the latest version of ICEM Surf, version 4.4, provides the ability to generate tube surfaces, along with feature recognition capabilities for addenda surfaces used in the mould tool and die development process. In addition, an enhanced 'flat spot' analysis capability pinpoints potential manufacturing problems, enabling surface engineers to make early form corrections and thereby avoid the need for later modifications that would require costly re-tooling.
