• User has large amount of control • Distributed processing • Still a significant time investment
with a high density point cloud
Do not take advantage of distributed processing at this time
C5A Interference StudyC5A Interference StudyProject OverviewProject Overview
• Customer Interested in virtual test fit of a large cargo pallet
• Massive interior cabin also contains many small components required by customer
• Interior cabin measurements:• 121 feet long
• 13.5 feet high
• 19 feet wide
• Large Scale Object including Small details required high resolution scans

Sphere Location Close-Up
• Approximately 2 billion points collected• Very large file sizes- File I/O slow• Must retain full resolution on small details throughout the aircraft • Project timeline- 4 weeks total from scanning to delivery of engineered surface model

High-End Workstations accelerate processing and alignment - Dual quad core cpu’s- Nvidia Quadro FX4600 GPU-16GB+ RAM-15,000 RPM SAS hard drives
• 64-bit PolyWorks V10 utilized for alignment of Surphaser scans• N-pairs of center points alignment in IMinspect module used
• Multiple Users align scans to Laser Tracker coordinate system concurrently• Section out specific areas of interest for full resolution and decimate remainder• Break up large point clouds into manageable sections for downstream CAD work
NASA Gulfstream IINASA Gulfstream IIProject OverviewProject Overview
Vortex generators on top of wing
• Customer designing new wing and needed a model of current configuration
• Scanned using Surphaser HSX IR• No tracker used for coordination• Small details required very high resolution
scans (ex. vortex generators)• PolyWorks used for alignment and point
cloud export• Imageware used for modeling• SolidWorks utilized for stitching surface
models into solids
NASA Gulfstream IINASA Gulfstream IIProject ChallengesProject Challenges
• Capturing entire airplane at resolution required for smallest detail
• 38 Surphaser scans containing roughly 2 billion points (not all scans full 360 degrees)
• Ensuring scan encompassed all areas of interest
• Scan alignment without master coordinate system from laser tracker
• Chrome surface finish on leading edges of wings and engine nacelles
NASA Gulfstream IINASA Gulfstream IIProject SolutionsProject Solutions
• Utilized high-end workstations running 64-bit PolyWorks V10.1.17 to import PTX files for alignment and export of clean point clouds
• Paid special attention to ensure comprehensive scan coverage • Adequate coverage of spheres critical to alignment quality• Took obvious occlusions such as engine pylons and wings into account
• Iteratively aligned scans using 6” spheres placed on and around the aircraft• Proved to be more difficult than the laser tracker approach
• Blue painters tape was applied to shiny areas on the aircraft
• Existing condition of 1960’s-era dry dock
• Structural failure occurred
• 800’ long, 75’ high, 100-ft across

• Polygons were then NURBS surfaced
• Final model as a solid in Pro-E
• 3 different models assembled: Coffer Dams (gray), Rock Wall (red), Concrete Columns (blue)
