SHINING 3D EXModel
Scan-to-CAD Reverse Engineering Software
Transform 3D scan meshes into usable CAD geometry through a direct workflow from capture to reconstruction.
Software, Training & Application Support from CAMS Across Canada & North America
MOVE DIRECTLY FROM SCAN MESH TO CAD
EXModel provides a direct scan-to-CAD workflow for reverse engineering and design. Mesh cleanup, alignment, primitive extraction, sections, sketching and surfacing tools support reconstruction from measured geometry, with direct transfer available from supported SHINING 3D scan software.
It suits legacy parts, replacement components, design modification and general reverse engineering. EXModel Pro extends the environment with more advanced sketch, solid, hybrid and freeform-surface tools for projects that need a more complete reconstruction workflow.
SCAN-TO-CAD APPLICATIONS
DECIDE WHAT THE FINISHED MODEL SHOULD PRESERVE
Scan data records the physical part, including wear, deformation and manufacturing variation. Reverse engineering requires deciding which of those conditions belong in the CAD model and which areas should be reconstructed as cleaner engineering geometry.
- Mesh-derived geometry: preserve measured conditions where the real part is the design reference.
- Idealized reconstruction: use primitives, sketches and fitted surfaces where cleaner engineering geometry is required.
- Match the toolset to the project: use EXModel for the core mesh-to-CAD workflow or EXModel Pro when more advanced sketch, solid, hybrid and freeform tools are needed.
