Hexagon’s Reverse Engineering Solution, Recreate, Debuted at RAPID + TCT 2021
Summary
Attendees saw REcreate working in a real-world scenario in tandem with an Absolute Arm and AS1 scanning system to capture 3D part data. Hexagon reverse engineering experts were on hand to demonstrate and answer questions about features and individual design challenges. Hexagon subject matter expert Giles Gaskell delivered a presentation entitled “Empowering Quality Control and Inspection at Every Level with 3D Scanning.” Gaskell also served as the host, moderator, and participant in the RAPID Thought Leadership Panel forum entitled “3D Scanning—Why Do It and How.” The panel was made up of 3D scanning veterans with expertise in using scanners for reverse engineering and inspection. Gaskell presented various scanning topics and workshops to a broad range of novice to expert users to expand their knowledge of data acquisition, reverse engineering, and additive manufacturing technologies. “We were excited to debut REcreate at RAPID + TCT this year,” states Ken Woodbine, senior portfolio manager, metrology software.
