ROMER Rolls Out OMEGA Reverse Engineering Solution

By DE Editors

ROMER Inc. has introduced the OMEGA portable measuring arm, its most economical tool for multi-purpose non-contact measurement.

The OMEGA system is packaged for 3D scanning applications such as reverse engineering, rapid prototyping, and non-contact inspection.  A complete package includes the OMEGA articulating arm, the R-Scan line laser scanning probe, and PC-DMIS Reshaper software. This entry-level solution is priced at $56,000 (model 2025/9 ft. size), and is offered in three additional sizes: 2018 (6 ft.), 2030 (10 ft.), and 2036 (12 ft.). The seven-axis arm is comprised of carbon fiber and aluminum construction, which translates into a lightweight shop floor metrology device.

Optimized for reverse engineering, the R-Scan non-contact laser scanner offers rotation for scanning hard to reach areas. The OMEGA system also features large capacity inspection, repeatability, automatic color recognition, and real-time display of point clouds and point data.

Included in the package is PC-DMIS Reshaper software, a 3D point-cloud processing program for users who need to handle rapidly generated point clouds and obtain high-quality 3D meshes.   The software collects measurement data “live” from the arm, and rapidly creates and edits 3D polygon mesh models, which can be exported in a variety of formats, to either bring into a CAD program for further processing or STL files to print to a rapid protoyping printer.
