Model View Engineering Service Inc. is an engineering service provider which provides design and molding
services to customers in Iran. This company used to out source all scanning services, and has spent
considerable resources. But lately, they terminated this by introducing the Rexcan models into the working
process and scan dozens of parts in-house every month, which greatly saved both time and money.
Besides, the quality of the 3D scan data obtained with Rexcan noticeably surpasses previously out
sourced ones, in terms of edge data sharpness, accuracy, and data completeness. Model View Engineering
Service Inc. Complex is very satisfied with the improved quality of their services and reduced investment.

3D Measurement with Rexcan

Attach 5 ~ 6 reference targets on lateral sides of both front and rear parts of the fender for data
auto-alignment, and scan the front and the rear parts with Rexcan 3 separately.

2 data groups (front part and rear part) will be aligned automatically using reference targets in the
ezScan software.

Make the 3D scan data into a single triangulation mesh with ‘Batch processing’ function, and export it to
.STL format.

With Rexcan series, you can get data with high accuracy, high resolution with low noise at a high speed,
which is ensured by its H/W technique and the algorithm in ezScan, hence the high quality of the ex-
ported STL data, which plays the primary important part in fine reverse engineering process.

Reverse engineering process

Load scan data (.STL format) into the reverse design software.
Define the plane and its axis for coordinating the reference axis with them.
Fit the point data to create surfaces
Trim those surfaces for obtaining the complete 3D surface.
Add specific features on the 3D model such as holes and patterns to generate the final surface.
Convert the surface which was generated in the previous step into a model for mold production.
