Digi-Spline™
Reverse Engineering Utility
Digi-Spline™ is a Reverse Engineering utility that will
take digitized point data and convert it to the proper format
so it can be read into a CAD/CAM system as splines or NURBS curves.

It is designed to work with PLANAR point data.
That is, the data must be collected in either X,Y or Z axis directions.

Digi-Spline™ works exceptionally well with point data collected
by RENISHAW™ and DIGIBOTICS™ digitizers.

To further enhance it's flexibility when using a FARO™ or MicroScribe 3D™ digitizing
arm, the user can establish a tolerance for the value of the step over between the
lofted sections.

This allows the user to digitize a model in a planar fashion
with the digitizing arm and not have to worry about each point
falling exactly along a planar axis.

Digi-Spline™ gives the user the option to work with both
inch and metric digitized point data.

The format for the incoming digitized point data is the following:

X-Value Y-Value Z-Value

The data can be either TAB or COMMA delimited.
The data can be either numerical values only or may include
appropriate Alpha character address (X,Y,Z).

Once you have converted your digitized point data with Digi-Spline™
you can bring the converted data into your CAD/CAM system.
This is usually done with some type of File Open, Convert or Import function.
Your CAD/CAM system MUST support ASCII data in order to take advantage of the power of Digi-Spline™ .
Please consult your CAD/CAM system documentation for this information.
Some of the leading CAD/CAM systems that support this functionality are SURFCAM™, MasterCam™ and VISI-CAM™.

Once you have successfully brought the data converted by Digi-Spline™ into your CAD/CAM system as Splines or NURBS curves, the data can now be manipulated as if it was created from scratch and used to create your 3d surface geometry.
