Omega R-Scan & PC-DMIS® Reshaper

Affordable reverse engineering solution combines ROMER 7-axis arm flexibility and laser probe technology with powerful PC-DMIS Reshaper software.

OMEGA — the most economical and efficient tool for multi­purpose measurement. R-Scan — the fast, easy-to-use and affordable laser probe ideally suited to 3D scanning. PC-DMIS Reshaper — a complete 3D point-cloud processing software for users who need to handle rapidly generated point cloud files and high-quality 3D meshes at an affordable price.

• R-Scan's simple design, plus the Omega arm's patented infinite rotation, allows for easy scanning of difficult to ­reach areas.
• Non-contact laser point scanning ensures easy, guided measurement. You get total capability ideal for reverse engineering applications, with speed, repeatability, a real-time display as well as automatic color recognition.
• Technology plus peace of mind: ROMER supports and warranties the complete digitizing system — arm, probe and software.

Ideal for reverse engineering applications, the Omega R-Scan with PC-DMIS Reshaper system produces 3D point cloud data that is processed to create a representative surface model. It's perfect for rapid prototyping, part duplication and other important tasks such as:

• 3D modeling for further CAD design or adaptation.
• Creating a "legacy" or "golden" part where no CAD or part drawing exists.
• Creating an "as-built" model of a tool so wear over time can be compared.
• Competitive part/product analysis.
• Archival or historical preservation of artifacts to create a 3D record or copy.

PC-DMIS Reshaper connects directly to the Omega arm and shows the point capture activity live on screen as the R-Scan is passed over the object. The resulting point clouds can then be manipulated, edited and merged prior to creating the mesh. Using advanced meshing techniques, the software can process even the largest files in just moments.Developed specifically for 3D modeling, PC-DMIS Reshaper software captures and processes 3D point cloud data generated from measurement points to quickly create high quality digital models.
