Scan data processing

 
• Process large data sets
• Collect point data from all major 3D scanners and digitizers
• Optimize scan data (using remove outliers, reduce noise and other available tools
• Align and merge multiple scan data sets
• Automatically or manually register multiple point clouds

Point and polygon editing

 
• Reduce dense data sets with random, uniform and curvature-based point sampling
• Create polygon mesh from point cloud data
• Modify, edit and clean polygon model
• Automatically detect and correct errors in the polygon mesh with just one click
• Detect and create features in the model
• Repair and sharpen boundary edges
• Export model in several file formats including PDF with fully embedded 3D models, STL, OBJ, VRML1, VRML2, DXF, PLY and 3DS

Parametric modeling

 
• Automatically or manually classify surface types (planes, cylinders and others) of a model
• Automatically extend and trim surfaces to create perfectly sharp edges between neighboring surfaces
• Control surface fitting using available tools and parameters
• Seamlessly transfer parametric surfaces, solids, datums and curves to CAD to automatically construct native geometry
• Directly integrates with five major mechanical CAD packages - Autodesk Inventor, CATIA, NX, Pro/ENGINEER, SolidWorks
• Automatically trim surfaces and solids for a faster creation of parametric models
• Create a single, stitched surface that is a blend of planar, cylindrical, conical, extruded, revolved, and free-form surfaces
• Extract optimized profile curves
• Analyze surface fitting results using inspection, walk-through or visualization tools

Exact surface modeling

 
• Automatically create watertight NURBS surfaces from polygon models with just one click
• Easily create new patch layouts manually by drawing curves
• Automatically define UV parameterization
• Adaptively fit surfaces (C0 and C1) based on tolerance
• Obtain guaranteed C1 continuity between surface patches
• Create templates for rapid surfacing of similar objects
• Ability to output sharp edges and planar surfaces
• Detect and repair patch errors with step-through dialogs
• Export model in several formats including IGES, STEP, VDA, NEU, SAT
