Parametric CAD Models from 3D Scan Data

hank you for choosing rapidformXOR, the most comprehensive 3D Scan-To-CAD Software Solution. INUS Technology, Inc., the leader in providing technologies that make 3D scanning a powerful tool for a variety of applications including manufacturing, R&D, quality inspection, medical research, civil engineering and more, is now presenting the future of 3D scanning software technology with its next generation 3D scan data processing platform, rapidformXO. rapidformXOR  makes the process of creating parametric CAD models from real world parts faster and easier by utilizing a design process and user interface that are instantly familiar to CAD users.

 

 

PARAMETRIC CAD MODELS FROM 3D SCAN DATA

rapidformXOR allows engineers to capture the design intent and design parameters of real world parts that may have lost their defining features during the manufacturing process or may not have ever had a CAD model. 3D scanning technology and rapidformXOR Provide manufacturers with the freedom and flexibility to extract the design parameters any of real world part, including prismatic features and freeform surfaces. Because the CAD models created in rapidformXOR are fully parametric, designers and engineers are able to modify the design parameters of the real world part to perfect the model for mass production within rapidformXOR in a downstream CAD system.

IMMEDIATELY REALIZE THE BENEFITS OF 3D SCANNING

The design tools used to create models in rapidformXOR are immediately recognizable to those already familiar with CAD applications. Engineers capable of designing with SolidWorks, CATIA, Pro/ENGINEER or Unigraphics can immediately begin modeling in rapidformXOR. The design process in rapidformXOR utilizes common CAD modeling features and processes such as extrude, round, revolve, sweep and loft. These features serve to make both rapidformXOR and 3D scanning technology readily accessible to engineers, while the ease of use of the produce allows 3D scan-based to be institutionalized within the manufacturing process to increase the overall quality of products.

 

·      Intelligent Design process which eliminates the need for complete scans of parts

·      Create high quality CAD models from imperfect scan data

·      Save processing time by eliminating the need for polygon mesh cleanup and surfacing

·      Models are instantly editable in both rapidformXOR and major CAD systems
