Scanning clinical models

A rapid prototyping case study

The Polhemus FastSCAN and the new FastRBF Extensions have been used by Tru-Test Ltd to scan clinical models and import them in to SolidWorks.
FastRBF Extensions repair holes and extrapolate scan data to create a water tight model which is then exported to SolidWorks. All this is achieved within FastSCAN at scan time.
FastRBF Extensions simplify meshes before exporting to SolidWorks.

FastRBF Extensions have no problems reconstructing a smooth surface from noisy data which arose from scanning a model with a translucent surface.
