Part of the Creaform Metrology Suite™, Scan-to-CAD software helps engineers and designers optimize meshes, align 3D scans, and prepare high-quality data for 3D printing or reverse engineering. Its fast processing extracts accurate geometrical information, allowing teams to jump right back into their CAD workflows. Trusted by thousands for its performance and powerful tools, Scan-to-CAD is the go-to solution for mesh preparation and CAD integration. In just a few steps, you can turn raw scan data into fully editable CAD geometry ready for design or manufacturing

Mesh optimization + 3D Printing

Scan-to-CAD equips you with powerful tools to prepare and enhance your mesh effortlessly. You can quickly edit and align 3D scan data, and after cleaning and optimizing it, you’ll have a high-quality mesh ready for 3D printing or other downstream applications.

VXmodel Mesh Editing (2)

Step 1: Edit Mesh

Scan-to-CAD offers simple yet efficient tools for preparing 3D scan meshes for reverse engineering or 3D printing.

Step 2: Align

Next, Scan-to-CAD’s alignment tool helps you easily align 3D scans to the coordinate system before exporting.

Product development + Reverse engineering

Scan-to-CAD provides essential tools to integrate 3D scans into your CAD software, making it easy to extract mesh data and create CAD models.

VXmodel Extract

Step 3: Extract Entities

Scan-to-CAD makes it easy to generate NURBS surfaces for freeform areas and extract geometric features from meshes—helping your complete designs directly in your CAD software.

 

 

 

Step 4: 2D Sketching

Additionally, Scan-to-CAD Pro streamlines 2D sketching from 3D scan data—like cross-sections—to quickly build parametric CAD models.

 

 

 

Step 5: 3D Modeling

Furthermore, Scan-to-CAD streamlines your reverse engineering workflow with intuitive tools for creating accurate parametric solid models on the first try.

 

 

VXmodel Transfer to CADStep 6: Transfer to CAD

In addition, Scan-to-CAD allows you to seamlessly export 3D scan data to any CAD software using standard formats like; .iges,. step, and .dxf. With just a right-click, you can directly transfer geometric entities to SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Fusion 360, and Solid Edge.
