Software processes cloud data

Paul Boughton

ReverseEngineering.com is unveiling HIPP (HighRES Integrated Point Processor), a new standalone proprietary software technology that saves engineers time by providing versatility and control over scanned 3D point clouds.

HIPP can handle millions of points and directly processes raw digitised data from CMMs, PCMMs, retrofitted CNCs, laser trackers, laser scanners and optical scanners.

Developed to work with standard file formats, HIPP can import and export DAT, TXT, XYZ, ASCII and HighRES files. It can be easily installed and is compatible with Windows XP/Vista operating systems.

HIPP provides access to time-saving features including thinning, three-point alignment, creation of custom planes 'on the fly', point ordering and filtering, multiple plane configurations, and adjustable probe tolerance that maximises accuracy

Three different modules are available, namely HIPP Shop, HIPP Professional and HIPP Ultimate. In addition, HIPP files integrate seamlessly with the HighRES CAD-native integrated software, thereby eliminating the risk of moving digitised geometry through the design and manufacturing cycle. Data sets can be imported upstream to ten major CAD systems as organised native entities, which completely eliminates data translation issues. HIPP integrates to leading CAD/CAM packages, including Autodesk AutoCAD/Mechanical Desktop, Autodesk Inventor, Rhino, Siemens NX, Keycreator, Solid Edge, Mastercam, Solidworks and Pro/Engineer.

Braxton Carter, ReverseEngineering.com’s chief technology officer, comments: “Engineers can now scan, process, review and model as you go. Work with a live scanning session that continually displays your data collection or import pre-existing point cloud files of physical objects. Pre-process your data into organized entities and manage huge point clouds in minutes. Simplify jobs that used to consume days and complete your work in hours.”
