From 3D Scan to Feature Based Solid

So you have an amazing 3D Scan and you love the mesh.
So how do you turn that scan data into a feature based solid in SOLIDWORKS or Inventor?

With DezignWorks – That’s How!

DezignWorks is a feature based Reverse Enginee DezignWorks Logo ring software that is fully integrated inside the modeler that you already use. It has the feature recognition tools you’ve always wanted when re-drawing a project from 3D scan data. The integrated tool-set allows you to take the basic .stl, .obj or .wrl mesh file and create the data rich drawing in a 3D environment while continuing to edit the file.

DezignWorks has set a new standard in reverse engineering for SolidWorks by automatically creating 2D and 3D elements, including complex 3D contours. DezignWorks gives engineers and product designers capabilities for editing and Reverse Engineering complex curves all while allowing data to be added or subtracted anytime with the DezignWorks database manager. With DezignWorks you can be confident that all geometric elements are parametric, are fully editable, and that your new designs will conform to the feature-based intelligence within SolidWorks.

Why DezignWorks?

  • Real-time R.E. on multiple parts and assemblies
  • All alignments are stored with the project, along with interactive probe compensation
  • DezignWorks enhances the capabilities of SolidWorks with the addition of spline simplification and measurement tools for your digitizer
  • Cut and extrude functionality included in the DezignWorks toolbar
    • When you make a 2D sketch, simply digitize the designated distance and your cut or extrude operation is performed!
  • 3D Sketch tools are also included

The SolidWorks Property Manager and DezignWorks are fully integrated, allowing interactive editing of 2D and 3D elements (lines, arcs, curves, splines, and planes). Get on the fast track to solid modeling and reverse engineering with this revolutionary software—DezignWorks. The Future is now!

If you use a 3D Scanner and have experienced the workflow of going from an PLY, STL, WRL or an OBJ to your native software you understand the amount of time it takes to fully reverse Engineer a complex model. You will now be able to go from an STL to a feature based solid in record time!
