A+W iShape

DIGITIZE TEMPLATES WITH THE SMARTPHONE CAMERA

For production of a non-rectangular shapes, glass processors frequently receive a hand drawing or a wood, chipboard, or cardboard template from their customer. However, in order to process this non-rectangular shape, modern CNC machines require digital data.

In order to solve this problem, A+W, in conjunction with Viprotron, developed a user-friendly, easy-to-operate app called A+W iShape, which is in its second iteration. To make conversion into digital data easier, the customer template is fitted with L-shaped reference objects and then photographed with a high-end smartphone camera, which serve to correct any distortions when photographing.

What makes A+W iShape special? In contrast to older solutions, there is no need to calibrate the camera! A+W iShape works with any quality smartphone camera. You take the photo, the photo is de-blurred and transformed into a stream of points. For further processing, machine data or DXF files can be generated. Overall, the entire recording process takes just a few minutes.
