I would advise against importing large point cloud data directly into ProE.
Our experience with many solid modelers is that they cannot handle the overhead
of 500,000 points. Therefore its better to try to convert them into NURB surfaces
before bringing into the solid modeler.
Now as you know there are many commercial systems available. Ofcourse our own research
is also in the area but we dont have any relesaed software yet. But we would be
willing to give it a shot.

> Hi RP-List,
>
> We are seeking a reverse engineering project which will require to generate
> a multiple feature (feature by feature) solid model in Pro/E for a very
> complicated forging die. What we are given is the forged part only. What we
> are doing now is to use the Mitutoyo RV57 CMM in our lab to scan the
> surfaces (2-5 micrometer accuracy), and use the built-in Scanpak software
> to convert the scan data into IGES file. From there we will generate the
> Pro/E solid model of the forged part, then reverse it to the die model.
> Since this is a single feature model, it does not fulfill the possible
> final requirement of design modifications and manufacturing process
> simulation (we are not sure if we shall/can add this part into the project).
>
> Any comments and ideas helping the above process will be appreciated.
>
> For most of my friends originated from East Asia, happy new year to you.

> Sincerely,
