Need informations about fonctionality

Post by VDO Plast 98000Mc »

Dear All,

I need to implement a 3D scanner in my company.
My objective is to mesure the size of a product and extract and use it in a soft to have a real vision of the metrics (sizes).

Do you know if FreeCAD can do that ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Welcome to the forum.

If your 3D scanner has an interface to write the scanned data in a mesh format to a file, then you can start with importing the mesh.
if your scanner produces "only" images with depth(z) information, you can import these data (after some reformating) as point cloud.

please give us more information about your scanner

there are many ways

Thank you for your answer.
In fact, I haven't buy the 3D scanner yet.

Before I really want to be sure to choose the good 3D scanner and be sure that I could use it in order to have the exact measure of the object I scan.

Best regard and thank you very much
