Roland Releases New Pixform Pro II Reverse Engineering Software for the LPX DS Series of 3D Laser Scanners

By DE Editors

Roland DGA Corporation has released the new Pixform Pro II reverse engineering software for its LPX DS series of 3D laser scanners.

Designed for reverse engineering, Roland LPX DS scanners capture complex data for a variety of CAD and computer graphics applications, including hand-held consumer products design, package design, hand-sculpted items, and biomedical product design. The new Pixform Pro II reverse engineering software optimizes the capabilities of the LPX DS series by enabling professionals to quickly and intuitively convert scan data into fully editable 3D CAD models.

“Pixform Pro II is a great addition to the LPX DS series as it can quickly and easily transform scan data into high-resolution parametric 3D CAD data,” says Rick Scrimger, vice president and general manager for Roland. “LPX DS users can now generate and edit CAD models from existing parts or partial models, a process that can dramatically lower product development costs and reduce time to market.” 

Roland’s Pixform Pro II software allows users to go from LPX DS scan data to a parametric CAD model without a great deal of training.  Featuring built-in wizards, assistants and analyzers, Pixform Pro II enables users to create quality usable data in just a few minutes.  The liveTransfer feature enables users to transfer their completed files directly to popular software packages, including SolidWorks, UGS NX and Pro/Engineer Wildfire.  There is no need to save files and then import them into the design software.

Pixform Pro II reverse engineering software is priced at $5,995. LPX DS series scanners are priced at $8,395 for the LPX-60, $12,595 for the larger LPX-600, and $15,995 for the high precision LPX-1200.  Leasing options are available.
