Historically, CAD systems have had difficulty managing large scanned data sets. According to a reverse engineering software company in southern California, that's about to change.

Bringing the Physical and Digital Worlds Together
La Jolla-based ReverseEngineering.com (formerly HighRES Inc.) has introduced a powerful integrated CAD/CAM reverse engineering technology that enables users to view and model as they go. The HighRES Integrated Point Processor (HIPP) integrates digitized data directly from the PCMM into the native CAD/CAM application. HIPP automatically manages millions of points, and the user can introduce discrete points into the CAD application as native entities, according to ReverseEngineering.com executive Braxton Carter. "HIPP data can be used to build solids and surfaces as native features in real time," said Carter. "The technology eliminates the data translation issues associated with completing reverse engineering applications."

Three HIPP Modules
At present, there are three HIPP modules: HIPP SHOP, HIPP PROFESSIONAL, and HIPP ULTIMATE. According to Carter, HIPP empowers the user through "easy data file save, three-point alignment, point ordering, and filtering and multiple-plane configurations." Carter believes reverse engineering specialists will embrace HIPP because of the promise of more simplified 3D digitizing, the power of going native, and a faster ROI.
