Сканирование печати в САПР

217
Rick G

У меня есть бумажный принт (синяя печать для вас, старики), на котором изображены масштабные рисунки ребер крыла для построенного дома самолета. Я хотел бы иметь возможность сканировать их, чтобы я мог разрезать формовочные блоки с помощью ЧПУ. Большая часть программного обеспечения, которое я вижу, предназначено для картографирования местности и архитектурных приложений. Я просто хочу сделать несколько цифровых фотографий плоского шрифта и иметь масштабируемую замкнутую линию в САПР. Фотограмметрия (sp?) Является новой для меня, и я не уверен, что делать с различными описаниями. Может ли кто-нибудь помочь направить меня в правильном направлении?

1) Get a good digital scan of your original. It's important that you get good contrast: good dark lines on a good white background. If that's not possible you may be able to clean it up in the next step.

2) Import that digital scan into CorelDraw (everything here can be done in Adobe Illustrator, too, but I don't know Illustrator and, anyway, CorelDraw is cheaper).

3) Your drawing is a "bitmap" in CorelDraw. If the lines aren't very dark or there is a lot of gray in the background, use the Image Adjustment Lab to clean it up. Select the bitmap, select bitmap->Image Adjustment Lab. The trick I use most is to turn the "Highlights" slider all the way to white and the "Shadows" slider all the way to dark and then turn the "Midtones" dark. Sometimes that's too much and you want to go to light with the midtones or even just tweak it a bit so play around but usually dark midtones will do OK. Click on OK. If you don't have a very good black and white document with clear lines, try the same thing again.

4) Now that you have an image with dark lines on a white background select Bitmap->quicktrace. It will appear to do nothing but the original image is now under an object which is probably what you want. Press alt-Enter to open the object properties window.

5) Select the pen (outline) tab and then select width:hairline. THen select bucket (fill) tab and click on the x. This will take the original image and show it as an outline.

6) If this is what you want then delete the original image and save this in a format you like. SVG is a good choice but PDF will sometimes work well. Some CAM machines are actually driven from CorelDraw in which case you're in good shape.

7) If this is NOT what you want then you'll have to play with it a bit. Other options include: a) If there is too much color or gray in the art, try changing the mode to black and white (bitmap->mode->black and whit and then select "Line Art". b) If there are too many lines try ungrouping your image (ctrl-U) and then selecting some of the lines you don't want and hitting delete. Be careful not to delete too much, of course. c) If the trace is just a hot mess you can try the "Centerline trace" and "outline trace" (bitmap->centerline trace and bitmap-outline trace) forms. They have a lot of options and you'll have to just try things and see what works for your particular image.

We're using Corel Draw at work to drive a bench laser cutter (can cut and engrave plastics, wood, aluminum, glass etching...).

Corel Draw will allow you to create a vector image from a scan. This will allow you to scale your model and export to a CNC friendly format (DWG?).
