hey guys,now that i have gotten my new machine operational and fairly used to working with cad/cam, i have begun to get frustrated in trying to program an existing part (reverse engineer) most of my aggravations are with locating bolt holes and such when trying to copy or duplicate a part. plus my drawing skills are very limited to 2d lines and arcs,fillets at the moment.
i am ready to drop $40,000 on a 7 axis faro portable cmm,before i do does anyone have any better suggestions,and is this the best option.
need to digitize complex 3d parts for production or modification,and to reverse engineer existing components to speed up time to market.
thanks in advance.
