Expanded software capability TEZET Technik AG has extended its TeZetCAD software to include laser scanning for geometric parts on tubes and in relation to tubes. The new ‘geometric parts’ module runs on Windows XP and Windows 7.

If users have measured geometric parts with other software in the past, they can now import the files and drawings into TeZetCAD via the TeZet interfaces IGES, STL or STEP, and manipulate them according to the tube specification, for instance meshes or point clouds. These TeZetCAD interfaces are programmed specifically for tubes and cannot be used for ‘only geometric parts’ software. Instead of selecting points, using the lasso or smoothing the measured parts, TeZetCAD measures virtually with the mouse with the TeZetCAD function ‘check points on object against Master-IGES’. Another practical new function that could help other departments that do not have access to the measuring device,

measurement and manipulation of geometric parts that are in relation to tubes. This new function was created for the TeZetCAD software and corresponds with relevant tube data.

but nevertheless are dependent on the data, is the ‘measure virtual’ function: the mouse can rollover the drawing on the screen to each xyz point, and it is possible to turn and rotate the part that should be measured. TeZetCAD now has a status of ‘all-in-one’ with its specialised tube software, due to the integration of the
