I have a Three Dimensional model of an object which is reconstructed from merging fifteen 3D individual scans. Each scan was captured in the form of point clouds using a technique known as Phase Measuring Profilometry. In this method, fifteen 3D individual scans of the model were taken by rotating it through small angles ensuring enough overlapping areas between two consecutive scans. Each 3D scan had its dimensions defined in a common world coordinate system. The final three dimensional point cloud model was reconstructed by aligning and merging all the individual scans together in a progressive manner. This three dimensional point cloud model was then subjected to “Poisson’s Surface Reconstruction” algorithm. The point cloud model and Poisson’s Surface Reconstruction model are in *.PLY, *.STL and *.DXF format (I can also convert these models into *.dxf, *.obj, *.off, *.wrl, *.dae, *.u3d, *.utdf and *.x3d format using MESHLAB software). I would like to get the three dimensional coordinates of any point I click in the 3D model (point cloud model and poisson’s reconstruction model) written to an excel file in SolidWorks. I would highly appreciate your help. I am also attaching 3D point cloud model and Poisson’s Reconstruction model in *.PLY and *.STL format. Thanks again.
