+ Reverse Engineering 'Restyle'
Course Duration:
16 hours
Tuition: $1500 USD
Overview:
Learn to transform physical products as digital scan data into
digitally correct complex Pro/E surface geometry. In this class you will
learn to manipulate point cloud imports scanned from clay or existing
products using Restyle software from PTC. Participants will work with
a choice of Pro/CONCEPT, Rhino, Geomagic, Restyle & Alias surface imports
or of various point cloud data. Fast and powerful, Pro/ENGINEER Reverse
Engineering software enables productive use of existing intellectual property.
Prerequisites: This workshop is only
for those designers or engineers looking to utilize point cloud data for
reverse engineering. Prior import experience with surfacing is necessary
as this is an advanced class dealing with surface connections such as
tangency and curvature. We suggest the design engine
One weeklong product surfacing workshop as a prerequisite to
this class. The next class after this Restyle class is the Advanced
Import Class that utilizes import geometry for creating parametric
Pro/ENGINEER geometry.

Topics:
- Review basic import functions
- Go over in great detail redefining functions for import geometry
- Create and modify curves, including curves on faceted data
- Create, edit, and manipulate freeform polynomial surfaces, including
high degree B-Spline and Bezier surfaces using the faceted data and
curves.
.
- Curve Connections
- Fit freeform surfaces to faceted data.
- Learn to manage Positional, Tangent and Curvature Continuous Curve
connections are now supported within the Restyle feature
- Learn to manage connectivity constraints, including position, tangency,
and curvature constraints between surfaces and curves.
- learn to manipulate import points or surfaces
- Learn to create facet data from points
- Learn to rebuild a set of surfaces geometries on top of faceted or
triangulated data.
- Learn workflow solutions and problem solving techniques with Restyle.

Discussions:
- Discuss reverse engineering history and evolution.
- Automatic surfacing in the Restyle functional area provides a simple,
progressive means for creating surfaces.
