Course Overview
Our G4SW training is a one-day course covering the basic workflows and commands of the G4SW add-in. During this course you’ll learn how to use G4SW to use scan data as the basis for CAD modelling in SOLIDWORKS.
The training will cover the following topics:
- Scanning
- Registering scan data
- Aligning scan data
- Editing Mesh models
- Geomagic modelling tools
- Autosurfacing
NOTE: This course is available as part of the Gold & Platinum Training Passports.
What You'll Learn
Course Agenda
Lesson 1: User Interface Navigation
The first lesson of this course teaches the user how to navigate the user interface.
Lesson 2: Data Types
User will learn how to identify the different types of data such as point cloud, mesh, solid and surface bodies and how the software will display.
Lesson 3: Point Cloud & Polygon Editing – Align Data
Discover how to edit scans and then align multiple scans together to form a single composite scan.
Lesson 4: Reference Geometry and Regions
Upon completion of lesson 4, the user will be able to add various reference geometries as well as understand what regions are and how to use them for selections.
Lesson 5: Scan to Origin Alignment
Discover how to align their scan data to the X,Y, Z axis of the modelling space to position the data correctly to the origin.
Lesson 6: Auto Surfacing
To understand the different methods of creating and using auto surfacing tools.
Lesson 7: Cross Section Tool
User will become familiar with using cross section tool to generate profiles that can be used to form the basis of features in design intent models.
Lesson 8: Modelling Wizard
Explore some of the modelling wizards which will speed up the time taken to generate features by guiding the user through the process step by step.
Lesson 9: Deviation Analysis
Focuses on how the user can check their model against the original scan data to make sure that things have been drawn accurately generating deviation maps.
Lesson 10: End to End Hybrid Modelling
The final lesson of this course takes the user through the entire process of creating a part from scratch using all the techniques discussed in previous lessons.
