Description

PolyWorks|Modeler™ is an all-encompassing software solution designed for reverse engineering, enabling the extraction of high-quality CAD entities, curves, surfaces, parametric sketches, and prismatic features from polygonal representations of scanned parts, which can then be utilized as a foundation for your advanced CAD modeling needs. The initial phase of the reverse-engineering process involves converting digitized point clouds into surface-based polygonal models, commonly referred to as meshes. These polygonal models are not only more compact and accurate but also less prone to noise compared to raw point clouds, making them suitable for industrial applications like milling, 3D printing, and aerodynamic simulations. It's crucial to implement effective scanning techniques that guarantee both quality and precision, utilizing real-time quality meshing technology. Users can enhance their models by filling in gaps, smoothing, and reconstructing surfaces, cleaning up boundaries, and recovering sharp edges to ensure surfaces are watertight. Additionally, users can extrude boundaries, offset surfaces, recreate fillets, and perform Boolean operations with CAD models, thus expanding the potential of their designs and applications. With these features, PolyWorks|Modeler™ significantly streamlines the reverse-engineering process, making it an invaluable tool for professionals in various industries.

Description

SurfaceWorks, created by AeroHydro, is a versatile software for freeform surface modeling that works seamlessly with SOLIDWORKS, providing advanced surface editing features specifically tailored for industrial design applications. It supports associative modeling, meaning that any changes made to SOLIDWORKS sketches will automatically reflect on related surfaces in SurfaceWorks and the other way around. This two-way associativity is particularly beneficial for intricate designs, as it ensures that the connections between points, curves, and surfaces remain consistent, facilitating smooth modifications throughout the development process. Initially aimed at marine design, SurfaceWorks has since expanded its use to a variety of fields, including aerospace and healthcare technologies, showcasing its adaptability and wide-ranging appeal. This flexibility makes it an invaluable tool for designers seeking precision and efficiency in their projects.
