Reverse engineering features

Convert CT scans into CAD models that you can use in CAD systems without the need for a CAD designer or reverse engineering specialist.

With this module, you can:

Automatically convert CT scans into CAD models
Generate an auto surface, which is a pattern of 4-sided patches that follow the edges and leading features of the model
Export a STEP file to your CAD systems

Use these CAD models to:

Generate CAD models for old parts where no CAD information (or only 2D drawings) is available
Make manually generated design models available digitally
Update models of parts or tools that look different from their master CAD models
Enable CAM systems to mill on CAD models instead of meshes

Extract defined areas such as cooling channels

Convert ROI to CAD

Complex areas of a part, such as an engine's water cooling channels, can be easily represented by regions of interest (ROIs). Convert these ROIs from complicated free-form geometries into CAD models.

With the Reverse Engineering module, you can:

Reverse engineer ROIs to CAD
Extract defined areas such as cooling channels
Extract manually segmented areas of your object
Export ROIs as *.stp files

Create CAD models of both single components and several assembled parts

Create multi-component CAD models

Convert objects made of multiple materials, such as assemblies, directly from CT data into multi-component CAD models. The software enables you to create CAD models of both single components and multiple assembled parts in their mounted position, based on our multi-material surface determination, even when no digital data is available.

You can:

Reverse engineer multi-material objects
Export determined surfaces as separate CAD files in their assembled position
