The new Digital Volume Correlation Module allows you to quantify displacements between an initial and deformed volume in a simple and intuitive way. By including these character lines, the result is a useful patch layout of untrimmed NURBS surfaces-commonly known as an auto surface model-which can be exported as a STEP file to any CAD system. The Reverse Engineering Module creates a pattern of 4-sided patches that follows the edges and main features of the model. All in one software, and without the need for a CAD designer or reverse engineering specialist.
You can use these CAD models for products that don’t have existing 3D representation-cost-effectively and directly from CT or mesh data-to make manually generated design models available digitally, generate CAD models for old parts where no CAD information (or only 2D drawings) is available, update models in which the actual part or tool looks different than its master CAD model, and enable CAM systems to mill on CAD instead of meshes. With its auto surface function, the new Reverse Engineering Module makes it easy to convert CT scans into CAD models that you can use in your CAD systems.
