Re: [rp-ml] Laser Scanning to Solid Model Format

Sorry all, about the sarcastic sound of the last post, didn't strike me that
way till I read it again. Mat's comment caught me by surprise. In any case I
really meant to point out that most scanning service bureaus offer
surface/solid model creation in addition to Mesh creation. It is simply a
matter of economics in most cases, whether a client wants to work directly
with the Mesh data or will require the additional surface patch fitting &
subsequent Solid model generation. There is also possible loss of data
fidelity with further processing of scan data to consider. Again I apologize
for the acidic tone of my previous post, his organization has every right to
advertise on this list.
