Get CAD-Friendly Surface Models from Automatic Surfacing Technology

With a single click, automatically turn your 3D scans into high-quality surface models directly usable in your preferred downstream applications, including FEA and mechanical simulation, machining, and CAD design, thanks to our revolutionary surface modelling approach

Model a polygonal surface by automating the creation of characteristic curves and surface patches and fitting a continuous network of NURBS surfaces
Create editable models suitable for CAD design and simulation applications by automatically bounding surface patches with continuous curves that naturally describe the part’s characteristic
Produce lighter models with better fitting accuracy and patch continuity for downstream applications by automatically adapting the patch size and aspect ratio to the part’s surface curvature

Simplify your Reverse-Engineering Workflow

For even greater flexibility, the automatic surfacing technology is perfectly integrated within our intuitive curve-based surfacing workflow, letting you interactively edit the curve network to create optimal surface models

Edit the automatic surfacing results intuitively by adding, deleting, or reshaping curves, as you would do in a manual reverse-engineering workflow
