This documentation describes how to use PC-DMIS with your laser sensor to measure features on a part, or to collect data. Laser sensors allow you to collect millions of points of data in one or more pointcloud (COP). PC-DMIS then uses these pointclouds for surface contour maps, export to reverse engineering packages, and creation of constructed features and Auto features. This documentation discusses how to use PC-DMIS with non-contact laser sensors to collect and interpret those pointclouds.
PC-DMIS Laser supports these hardware configurations:
Starting with PC-DMIS 2019 R2, PC-DMIS no longer supports the Perceptron laser sensor. While you may still be able to install PC-DMIS 2019 R2 and later, PC-DMIS displays an error if you attempt to run measurement routines that use the Perceptron scanner. For additional information, please contact Technical Support.
