ScanLib is our 3D Scanner specific library. ScanLib is capable of
reading Dr. Picza PIX files. We are currently researching and adding new
scanner specific technologies to ScanLib.
ScanLib has
been used in all our PIX file import plug-ins for various CAD
systems.
The
PIX File Format
The PIX file format is the native file format of a digitizer
software called Dr. Picza which comes bundled with Roland DG digitizers.
The digitizer scans an object and transfers the 3D point data to the Dr.
Picza software which saves it in the PIX
file format. PIX files can contain scan data in two formats: surface and
polygon mesh. The surface format is used when the top surface of an
object is being digitized, whereas the polygon mesh format is used when
the entire surface of an object is being digitized.
