What can VXmodel offer you?

INTUITIVE INTERFACE

With VXmodel’s intuitive interface, users who value simplicity and speed can navigate the software with ease and confidence and without any previous learning.

COMPLETE AND POWERFUL TOOLBOX

With advanced design and modeling capabilities already included in CAD software, VXmodel offers all the complementary tools and features for mesh optimization and seamless integration into scan-based design and reverse engineering processes.

WORKFLOW INTEGRATION

VXmodel provides the fastest shortcut to bridge 3D scanning and CAD modeling workflows, giving you the freedom to return to your favorite CAD software in a flash.

Mesh optimization + 3D Printing

With its powerful preparation and improvement tools, VXmodel allows you to quickly edit the mesh and align 3D scan data. Once the 3D scan has been improved and cleaned, you have access to a usable and optimized mesh ready for 3D printing or any other application.

STEP 1

Edit mesh

VXmodel provides simple, yet efficient tools to prepare the 3D scan mesh for reverse engineering or 3D printing.

  • Clean mesh
  • Fill holes
  • Merge meshes
  • Decimate mesh
  • Make mesh watertight
STEP 2

Align

3D scans must be aligned to the coordinate system before exporting, which is a simple but crucial finalization step. The VXmodel alignment tool is highly flexible and straightforward.

  • Entity-based alignment
  • Best fit alignment

Product development + Reverse engineering

VXmodel only provides the needed tools and features to integrate 3D scan data into your favorite CAD software, where all design and modeling capabilities are already available. With its intuitive functions, you can easily extract the required information from the mesh and transfer it to the CAD platform in order to generate the CAD entities for your 3D modeling.

STEP 3

Extract entities

VXmodel allows you to easily generate NURBS surfaces for characterizing freeform regions. Geometric entities can be easily extracted from the mesh to complete the design in any CAD software.

  • Auto surface
  • Manual surface
  • 2D/3D entities
  • Curves
  • Cross-sections
STEP 4

Transfer to CAD

With VXmodel, you can easily export 3D data to any CAD platform using standard formats (.iges, .setp, .dxf). With a simple right-click, geometric entities can be transferred directly to the following CAD software:

  • SOLIDWORKS
  • Autodesk Inventor
  • Solid Edge
