Cowski, thanks for the reply. It is not for rendering sadly. I need the pattern to be 3D and connected to the part, so that I can use it later to make a negative mold.
I could do it manually for all the parts that I am making, but I figured it would be smart to ask if there was a built in...
I am trying to model a project where one face of the body has a repeated, patterned texture.
Is there a simple way to add surface texture to a face, or do I have to sketch each of the repetitions and then instance them? For example is there a way I could easily apply a mesh pattern to a...
Wow!!! Thanks John! That's exactly what I wanted.
I'm sure this is a stupid question, but could you elaborate on how to apply an image to a sheet body/solid body? I've got the image in and would like to be able to move the image around easily in my model using expressions, and I think I...
Thanks John!!! That was easy.
I had another follow-up question concerning background images. Is there a way to make the aspect ratio of the image locked, so the image is not stretched in the background? Thanks again!!!
Is there a way to add a user-defined image as the background in an NX part file? I am using NX 5.0.2.2 I have tried using the Basic Scene Editor under Visualization, but the images do not appear even when using NX5's selection of background images which I assume should work. Thanks in advance.
@drawoh: I'm not quite sure what a mechanical inspection fixture is. Do you mean the CMM machine that we are trying to replace? If so, the reason why is because the CMM cannot handle the throughput demands that we have and its precision is not as we desire. Also, its operation is complicated...
@TheTick: Sorry for double posting. I didn't see your post until after I submitted mine. Actually, I'm not worried about postprocessing for exactly that reason. We already acquired licenses for GeoMagic, and we're fairly confident in our GeoMagic ability. I agree with you that it really is...
@rb1957: You know I had not even considered that. That's a very good point. I'll bring that up with my manager and the other engineers in my group when I speak to them. I'm coming up with these numbers based on our drafting sheets' tolerances. We use stereolithography to machine and I...
Wow, that was pretty quick.
@drawoh: Fantastic!!! I am so glad to hear that. I am trying to find a reliable machine which can accurately scan parts made from opaque nylon less than 10x10x10 cm in size. The parts are complex containing only a few planar faces and mainly being composed of...
Hi everybody. I'm looking into purchasing a 3D scanner, and I was hoping someone here might have some experience with one and could give me some expert advice.
If you have any knowledge/experience of any kind with one, if you would give me the brand name and a few of the "actual"...
