Simple steps to CAD
Generate your CAD model with our reverse engineering solution
From 3D scan to CAD model with reverse engineering
Looking for a software solution that makes reverse engineering easy?
Our reverse engineering solution is ready to take your data to the next level. Scan your parts in ZEISS INSPECT or any other software and import your STL, PLY and ASCII-Formats to the reverse engineering software. It just takes a few guided steps to obtain a high-precision CAD model that can be exported to standard CAD formats like IGES, STEP or SAT. So, whatever your reverse engineering task: get there easily and fast.
A powerful software for reverse engineering
Guided workflow
Our reverse engineering solution makes it easy to generate a CAD model from scan data such as polygon meshes or point clouds and guides you step by step through the workflow.
High accuracy
The reverse engineering software delivers CAD surfaces with the highest accuracy. This is essential if you want to produce plastic parts that have high accuracy requirements.
Effective functions
Prepare your data with features such as hole filling and flattening, and proceed with features such as dynamic best fit or extrusion.
Get your CAD model – whatever the shape
Geometric parts
Reverse Engineering for geometric forms? Export your mesh to the reverse engineering software and start to create, combine, extract and adjust. You are in control of the whole process and generate exactly the result you need.
Freeform surfaces
The software offers you various functionalities to achieve the highest accuracy for freeform surfaces. To convert your mesh, use “Surface Approximation to Points” for example. Afterwards, the software guides you through every step of the way to your mold.
Organic shapes
Whether you want to create a CAD model for a part with an organic shape or continue reverse engineering, designing and modeling with a CAD – you will get there with just a few clicks. Have a look at the video.
