Creaform has announced the release of VXelements. The new software platform allows for the acquisition of 3D data from any of the products developed by Creaform, such as the Handyscan 3D family of laser scanners and the HandyPROBE/C-Track line of optical CMM.
VXelements consists of three software modules: VXscan, VXprobe (formerly HPS), and the new VXtrack. The new software summons all the necessary elements and tools into a unified working environment, while adding new functions and capabilities to the previous software versions.
VXscan now offers the possibility to scan any part at any given resolution, within the scanners’ range, without any limitations due to part size. It also improves offline work by offering a user or multiple users the possibility to merge the scans and reconstruct surfaces using different session files. Another feature is automatic hole filling.
VXprobe retains all the functions from the preceding software version; however, it now shares the same integrated interface as the other modules.
The new VXtrack module adds dynamic tracking capability to the C-Track line of dual-camera sensors. It can now record 30 3D images-per-second of a reflector or sets of reflectors in real time for the study of a variety of applications involving motion tracking. The module offers both a graphic interface to interact with the results or to export the result files in common formats.
VXtrack will be sold separately, but VXscan and VXprobe will continue to be delivered with every Handyscan 3D or HandyPROBE, and to customers possessing the appropriate maintenance program. VXelements software will be available Oct. 13, 2010.
