Here are some frequently asked questions and their answers:
Trust our 30 years of experience into 3D scanning industry
and allow us to help you solve your Reverse Engineering problems with professional software for 3D scan to CAD modelling.
1. What is QUICKSURFACE?
QUICKSURFACE is a standalone 64 bit software application that allows you to convert 3D Scan data into complete CAD model.
It provides you with the most important tools for 3D reverse engineering to reconstruct hybrid parametric CAD models.
Import, align and repair your STL meshes, extract geometries, sketches and free form surfaces.
Construct extruded and revolved shapes and finish with trimming, boolean and fillet operations. And all this in a simple and understandable workflow.
2. What can I do with QUICKSURFACE
3D Scanners can deliver the results as ‘meshes’. These meshes can be used for visualisation and 3D printing, but not for drawings, dimensioning and other operations.
You cannot use them in CAD packages as normal solids or surfaces. For this reason these meshes need to be converted into ‘CAD model’ – a parametric representation of the forming surfaces.
The scanned meshes also capture all the imperfections of the original part. In order to make it perfect you need the tools for reverse engineering which QUICKSURFACE offers.
3. What are the minimum system requirements to run QUICKSURFACE?
The minimum system requirements are:
Laptop or PC with Windows 10 (64 Bit version)
CPU: Intel i5 or higher (or its equivalent of another CPU manufacturer)
RAM: 16GB
HDD: 256 GB
Graphics card: dedicated graphics card – nVidia or AMD
Internet: Software and licenses are delivered and activated using Internet connection.
Once activated we recommend an internet connection to allow automatic newer version detection to keep you up to date (not mandatory, it is your choice).
4. Which file formats from 3D Scanning QUICKSURFACE can import?
QUICKSURFACE imports STL, OBJ or PLY mesh or PTX point cloud.
The most common file format which is exported from a 3D Scanner is STL mesh.
5. Can I use a large 3D scan data?
Being a 64-bit application allows the user to load any size mesh. QUICKSURFACE can handle easily 100 million triangles.
For the purposes of manipulation, the build-in polygon reduction function allows the user to create a mesh with suitable number of triangles without compromising the quality of the mesh.
