SYCODE launches Point Cloud 1, a affordable and powerful reverse engineering software

r reverse engineering plug-ins for AutoCAD and Rhino havegenerated a lot of interest in the reverse engineering community , explains DeelipMenezes, owner of SYCODE. From the feedback that we have received we get the sensethat users do not want to be restricted to AutoCAD or Rhino. So we decided to createa standalone version and the result is Point Cloud 1.0 .Reverse engineering is basically reconstructing a solid or a surface fromunorganized point cloud data. Point Cloud 1.0 can import a set of points (or a pointcloud) from a text file and drape a NURBS surface over it or wrap a mesh around thepoints. The surface can be draped along the 6 orthogonal directions or by specifyinga custom direction. There is also the facility to compensate for probe diameter.This is particularly useful when the points have been recorded by a touch probedigitizer. Point Cloud 1.0 is a standalone application and is not dependent on any othersoftware. It uses the OpenNURBS 3DM file format as its native format to store point,surface and mesh data. At SYCODE, we believe that there are too many proprietaryfile formats already out there, each coming with their own set of interoperabilityproblems. We are making a conscious effort to keep things simple for our customers.After all, our company slogan is "software made simple". Moreover, by using theOpenNURBS 3DM format to store 3D data, we are making the data instantly accessibleto a range of CAD software systems.Point Cloud 1.0 is priced at 295 EUR per license. This is far lesser than otherconventional reverse engineering software, thus making it an affordable softwaresolution to just about everyone. It is available as a fully functional 10 day/runtrial. The software comes with detailed documentation in the form of a compiled HTMLhelp file which contains a step-by-step tutorial to get the end user started in theshortest possible time.Detailed information about Point Cloud 1.0 and a trial download can be found athttp://www.sycode.com/produc ts/point_cloud/index.htm.About SYCODESYCODE develops cutting-edge software solutions for Computer Aided Design (CAD).These solutions are in the form of standalone applications or plug-ins that workinside major CAD systems such as AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk VIZ, Autodesk3D Studio MAX, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Maya, Alibre Design, Rhinoceros, SpaceClaim,IntelliCAD, etc.SYCODE also designs, develops and implements customized software solutions forcompanies worldwide. The customized solution may be a standalone application workingclosely with the client's existing CAD application or a plug-in to the CADapplication.
