MEASURING ARM Baces3D: Introduction

Baces3D is a portable measurement arm,

designed for acquire 3-dimensional measures,

points and surfaces within its work-space with a

simple manual movement of the user. Contact

or Non-contact technology for acquisition, using

a touch probe or the BacesScan laser scanner.

The Baces3D arm is manufactured in

aeronautical aluminium, and use high precision

optical trasducers on its joints. A lifetime

permanent calibration is granted by the

mechanical design, oriented to get light but

stable structure.

You can use the Baces3D arm with a common

laptop or desktop PC. Baces3D communicate

with PC through a USB direct link cable. Points

data and commands for the software are made

by 3 buttons on the probe or by foot pedals.

Baces3D arm is integrated in many commercial

CAD/CAM softwares, as for example Delcam

(PowerShape and PowerInspect), Rhinoceros,

AlphaCAM, , Capps-nt and many others.

Baces3D is supplied with certification of

accuracy, electromagnetic certification

compliance and CE. Upon request, it is

supplied also with SIT certificate according with

ISO-EN10360-2 norm.

Baces3D is the ideal instrument for digitization,

reverse-engineering and metrology application.

Baces3D is the perfect product for all the

Applicatios where is to Digitize, Measure,

Reverse Engineer a part, sample, prototype,

manufacturing item and any other product

requiring a 3-Dimensional Inspection.

Common Applications:

� Reverse engineering & Digitizing:

using software Baces Mesh or

common CAD modeling softwares

(i.e. Rhino 3D)

� Quality Control, Inspection,

measuring geometrical features or

comparing the CAD model with the

real measured model, using

metrology softwares

� Off-line CNC Machine tools and

Robots programming using

CAD/CAM softwares

Modeling CAD RHINOCEROS

Rhinoceros is a CAD software necessary to create with accuracy and precision the mathematical model of your product (NURBS surfaces).

Starting with a sketch, drawing, physical model, or only an idea—Rhino provides the tools to accurately model your designs ready for rendering, animation, drafting, engineering, analysis, and manufacturing.

The Baces3D plug-in realized by FriulROBOT S.r.l. supply an easy and intuitive use of Rhinoceros, transforming the arm in a 3D mouse.

Rhino can create, edit, analyze, and translate NURBS surfaces, and solids in Windows. There are no limits on complexity, degree, or size.

Rhino also supports polygon meshes and point clouds. Other special features include:

Uninhibited free-form 3-D modeling tools like those found only in products costing 20 to 50 times more. Accurately model any shape you can imagine.

Accuracy needed to design, prototype, engineer, analyze, and manufacture anything from an airplane to jewelry.

Compatibility with all your other design, drafting, CAM, engineering, analysis, rendering, animation, and illustration software.

Read and repair extremely challenging IGES files.

Accessible. So easy to learn and use that you can focus on design and visualization without being distracted by the software.

Fast, even on an ordinary laptop computer. No special hardware is needed.

Affordable. Ordinary hardware. Short learning curve. Priced like other Windows software. No maintenance fees.

Rhino can use the following files: • DWG/ DXF ( Autocad), SAT (ACIS), X_T (Parasolid), 3DS, LWO, STL, OBJ, AI, POV, UDO,

VRML, JPG, CSV, IGES ( Alias, Ashlar Vellum, AutoFORM, Autoship, Breault, CADCEUS, CAMsoft, CATIA, Cosmos, Delcam, FastSurf, FastSHIP, Integry Ware, IronCAD, LUSAS, Maya, MAX3.0, Mastercam, ME30, Mechanical Desktop, Microstation, NuGraf, OptiCAD, Pro/E, SDRC I-DEAS, Softimage, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, SUM 4 SURFCAM, TekSoft, Unigraphics).
