SYCODE launches Point Cloud 1.0, a affordable and powerful reverse
engineering software
Panaji - 16th Oct, 2007 - SYCODE today launched Point Cloud
1.0, an affordable and powerful software solution for the reverse
engineering industry.
"Our
reverse engineering plug-ins for AutoCAD and Rhino have generated a lot
of interest
in the reverse engineering community”, explains Deelip
Menezes, owner of SYCODE. “From the feedback that we have received we
get the sense that users do not want to be restricted to AutoCAD or
Rhino. So we decided to create a standalone version and the result is
Point Cloud 1.0”.
Reverse engineering is basically reconstructing a solid or a surface
from unorganized point cloud data. Point Cloud 1.0 can import a
set of points (or a point cloud) from a text file and drape a NURBS
surface over it or wrap a mesh around the points. The surface can be
draped along the 6 orthogonal directions or by specifying a custom
direction. There is also the facility to compensate for probe diameter.
This is particularly useful when the points have been recorded by a
touch probe digitizer.
Point Cloud 1.0 is a standalone application and is not dependent
on any other software. It uses the OpenNURBS 3DM file format as its
native format to store point, surface and mesh data. At SYCODE, we
believe that there are too many proprietary file formats already out
there, each coming with their own set of interoperability problems. We
are making a conscious effort to keep things simple for our customers.
After all, our company slogan is "software made simple". Moreover, by
using the OpenNURBS 3DM format to store 3D data, we are making the data
instantly accessible to a range of CAD software systems.
Point Cloud 1.0 is priced at 295 EUR per license. This is far lesser
than other conventional reverse engineering software, thus making it an
affordable software solution to just about everyone. It is available as
a fully functional 10 day/run trial. The software comes with detailed documentation in the form of a compiled HTML
help file which contains a step-by-step tutorial to get the end user
started in the shortest possible time.
