We at ReverseEngineering.com are always up for a challenge, especially when our software can contribute to the safety of athletes. When Schutts Sports approached us about assisting them in a large endeavor to overhaul and revamp their entire line of helmets and faceguards, we were in.

In response to a growing body of scientific studies that have revealed long term brain damage among pro-football players, Schutts Sports was determined to upgrade their helmet design. To get started, they needed to accurately map their existing helmets into a 3D CAD. Not so easy to do with a bumpy, odd-shaped thing like a helmet.

Just imagine, Cloud Computing for Reverse Engineering Software with the FARO and ROMER digitizers and scanners.

Having your head in the clouds can be a good thing for Reverse Engineering applications.

With rapidly increasing advancements in the manufacturing of FARO and ROMER 3D portable CMM's and laser scanning hardware, comes a pressuring demand for improved reverse engineering software that enhances these tools.

When looking at the bigger picture, the first thought that comes to mind is cloud computing.

With every challenge there is opportunity.  Today’s economic struggles certainly have us all looking for the opportunity to help survive the immediate economic challenges we are all being faced with.

Replacing new parts instead of buying new machines has been an age old source of finding a way to positively affect the bottom line.  The general question these days is not “should I repair it” but “how can I repair it quicker and more accurately”.

The HighRES 2011 software has been shipping to beta test users for the last 3 months.  Excitement draws near to launch the bi-directional 32-bit AND 64-bit reverse engineering software in November 2010 for FARO portable measuring devices.

Managing a complete reverse engineering solution involves several components of 3^rd party hardware and software.  One of the biggest challenges is maintaining compatibility with the fast pace of technological advancements.

With the state of today’s economy, every penny counts especially when considering purchasing any type of technology that will make your business more efficient and competitive. Reverse engineering/inspection software is no different. Making a reverse engineering/inspection software buying decision requires you to carefully consider many issues. Will you be doing reverse engineering and/or inspection? Are you purchasing new hardware (laser or touch probe CMM) or will you be using existing hardware? Will you be using point cloud processing software in conjunction with a CAD package or standalone? What types of data do your customers and suppliers need? These are just a few of the many questions you should be posing to yourself and your organization before making a purchasing decision.
