01 / OVERVIEW
The scan is the start. CAD is the next step.
Turn measured geometry into a model you can design with. QUICKSURFACE combines scan import, surface reconstruction and deviation control in a standalone reverse engineering environment.

Comparing the model with the reference scan.02 / 01 / IMPORT
Start with a real object.
Import an STL, OBJ or PLY mesh or a PTX point cloud. The scan becomes the spatial reference for designing a new CAD model.
03 / 02 / ALIGNMENT
Put the geometry in place.
Detect planes, cylinders and other geometric features and define the coordinate system. A correctly oriented scan makes sections and modelling easier.
04 / 03 / SECTIONS
From mesh to design sketch.
Extract sections of the scanned geometry and use them as sketch references. This prepares the basis for extrusions, revolves and further reconstruction.
05 / 04 / MODELLING
Build surfaces. Shape solids.
Reconstruct surfaces and solids from the reference data. The parametric workflow lets you go back to design steps and adjust the model.
06 / 05 / FREEFORM
Capture organic geometry too.
Use surface modelling for shapes that simple cylinders or planes cannot describe. Adapt reconstruction to the product shape and intended use.
07 / 06 / VERIFICATION
Check the result against source data.
A colour map shows deviations of the reconstructed model from the scan. Follow the fit while modelling and decide where corrections are needed.
