-
The analyzer software is used to analyze the scan results
-
Its features include: display 3D view, adjust height range, cross-section view analysis, part measurement, surface roughness analysis, part comparison, part to model comparison
-
These features can be found in the top toolbar when the analyzer software opens
-
-
-
Select 3D Display from the top toolbox
-
Here you can see the 3D display of the scanned part with dimension in all 3 axes
-
The color represents the depth measurement
-
The color range can be adjusted by going to Height Range from the top toolbox
-
-
-
Select Profile from the top toolbox
-
Here you can analyze the cross section view along the line in the bottom window
-
Select which profile line you want and place it on the 2D view of the scan object
-
The cross section view will automatically update when the line is moved
-
You can also take a measurement of the line you place on the cross section view by using the measurement tools in the bottom right
-
-
-
Select Surf R from the top toolbox
-
Here you can measure the roughness of a surface
-
Select Add an area in order to select the area to measure
-
Select the area you want to measure with whatever shape you need and select Ok
-
The software will automatically measure the arithmetic mean height (Sa), maximum height (Sz), texture aspect ratio (Str), etc and show those measurements in the left window
-
You can add, edit, or delete areas by selecting the appropriate box from the top right and following the same process as before
-
-
-
Select Compare from the top toolbox to perform comparison between two scan results
-
You need to have two scan results open in the viewer to do this
-
A new window will pop up where you select which scan will be used as the reference data
-
When asked if you want to perform auto alignment, select yes
-
The auto-alignment is not perfect so you may need to perform manual alignment
-
To perform manual alignment, select the drop down button under detailed position alignment and select adjust manually
-
A new box will open where you can manually adjust the location of the non-reference scan by moving the object in the x and y axis or rotating it
-
When adjustments are finished, select Ok
-
-
-
A new window where you can analyze the comparison result will be displayed
-
You can see a color map of the height difference between the two parts by turning on the high different display
-
You can get the cross section plot of the parts with the height difference by drawing a cross section line across the part
-
You can measure the local or average height variation between the parts by using a measurement tool
-
Click Ok to go back to the analyzer window and the comparison actions you did will be shown in the analyzer window
-
Select Generate Report to generate a summary report of the part comparison
-
-
-
A CAD mdoel of the actual model (.stl) is needed
-
Select Compare CAD from the top toolbox to perform comparison between the scanned object with the actual CAD model
-
A reference data setting window will open automatically where you can upload the .stl file for comparison
-
Click the drop down in the top right and select Height
-
Click Specified angle rotation to rotate the uploaded CAD file and manually align the data with the scan
-
Select Set unit to change the unit setting. The default unit setting is SI
-
Select Ok when finished and you'll be brought back to the set reference data window
-
-
-
When asked if you want to perform auto alignment, select yes
-
You can see if the CAD model is well aligned with the part by looking at the window and the cross section view
-
Under "View" switch optical to height to show the feature of the 3D CAD data
-
The auto-alignment is not perfect, you may need to perform manual alignment
-
To perform manual alignment, select the drop down button under detailed position alignment and select adjust manually
-
A new box will open where you can manually adjust the location of the non-reference scan by moving the object in the x and y axis or rotating it
-
When adjustments are finished, select Ok
-
-
-
You can see a color map of the height difference between the scan result and CAD model by turning on the high different display
-
You can get the cross section plot of the scan result and CAD mdoel with the height difference by drawing a cross section line across the part
-
You can measure the local or average height variation between the scan result and CAD model by using a measurement tool
-
The measurement values are shown in the left window
-
Click Ok to go back to the analyzer window and the comparison actions you did will be shown in the analyzer window
-
Select Generate Report to generate a summary report of the part comparison
