Novacam Technologies Inc.Can I generate a CAD model from my 3D point cloud?
This is a question we get occasionally, even though generating CAD models is not the principal function or focus of Novacam 3D metrology systems. Novacam systems provide automated non-contact high-precision measurements for industrial applications. To measure, you don’t need a CAD.
The short answer is yes… though not directly. You’ll need to follow a step or two beyond the software supplied with our systems. But we can get you started in this article.
What kind of measurement data do Novacam 3D metrology systems generate?
From each scan, 3 types of data are generated by Novacam non-contact 3D metrology systems. Learn what they are and how they each bring value to our clients’ inspection applications.
Yes, we measure 3D geometry and GD&T parameters!
New page presents Novacam’s capabilities in measuring 3D geometry and 3D GD&T parameters.

How to measure O-ring grooves, blind-hole corners, and undercuts
Novacam provides a custom solution for measuring extra hard-to-reach spaces inside tubes and bores. These include blind hole corners, undercuts, o-ring grooves (walls and inside corner radii) and more.
How to measure axial straightness of bore, tube, or barrel IDs
Many tubes, bores and barrels in high-precision industries must meet strict criteria for straightness. Read about Novacam’s solution for such applications.
No more rubber replicas – automated measurement inside tight spaces
Using rubber or silicone replication for high-resolution measurement is time-consuming, labour intensive, and practical only for inspecting small areas inside hard-to-reach spaces. Novacam BoreInspect and TubeInspect offer a new approach – direct, non-contact 3D measurements right inside such spaces.
