Romer arm digitizing software opinions

manta · Feb 17, 2018

Iam looking for software to use with my Romer Cimcore 3000i Portable cmm arm i recently bought used, the main purpose of it is for reverse engineering automotive parts.

what do you use, and how user friendly is it?

Iam new to using a probing arm but willing to put in the time to learn

thanks for you input

I use (a very little bit) dezignworks with a faro. DezignWorks - the standard in reverse engineering

It you know solidworks well, then the arm is pretty decent way to produce a solidworks model of the part being investigated.

However, arms are fiddly, and I don't use mine very often, so there's a "task startup" burden if remembering how it all works (calibration, plane setup, etc.)

check out rhino, you can do a 90 day trial on it and its about $1k for a seat. It can gather point clouds from Romer arm and then save it out as igs for post processing in your CAD software of choice.

Polyworks is really good for that application, if you're going to use a laser scanner (takes about 5 minutes to make a good SLA model on a smallish part, an entire car body, a bit longer). PC-DMIS is OK, but a little buggy.
