HOLOS Digitize provides speedy and highly accurate incorporation of a model (unknown free-form curved surface)

and generation of a surface required for CAD.

Dimension is software that generates NURBS (Non Uniform Rational Basis Splines) curves and NURBS planes from

3D point groups, triangle patches, from free-form curves and free-form plane surfaces. Data can be shared via files

with other non-contact form measuring machines.

●

Digitizing with HOLOS

HOLOS Digitize provides digitizing of curves and surfaces in the HOLOS environment. Digitized elements can be added to an exist-

ing HOLOS model and measuring evaluation can be performed directly by HOLOS. It is possible to export the data in various data

formats.

●

Accurate Model Data

HOLOS Digitize automatically converts all workpice surface values that have been incorporated by Digitize into the appropriate CAD

data. This newly generated surface data can be used directly for workpiece measuring (reverse engineering).

HOLOS-NT enables measurement of highly difficult work-

pieces, such as an entire door with a single software

application.

HOLOS Geo supports measurement of standard geomet-

ric elements, while HOLOS Light and HOLOS Extended

enable measurement of complex free-form curves, provid-

ing support for just about any type of measuring imaginable.
