A chair manufacturer had a handheld scanner and complex, curved shapes to capture, but no path from the scan to anything their designers could use. We taught them how to scan well and how to take the data downstream into CAD with Geomagic software.
Chairs are full of ergonomic curves and contoured surfaces that cannot be dimensioned with calipers or a tape. A 3D scanner can capture them, and the team had one.
The problem was everything after the scan. Without a way to turn raw scan data into CAD, every new chair model ran into the same dead end.
Scanning chair forms so the data is clean from the start.
Processing and aligning the raw scans into a mesh ready to work with.
Extracting clean geometry their designers could use in CAD, on their own chair forms.
A workflow the team could run again for every new chair model, without outside help.
The team learned to go from a physical chair to usable CAD, and to repeat it for each new model.
