In today’s market the freeform sculpture surface forms the basis of most product designs, from the mobile phone to the latest car concepts. Capturing a 3D digital CAD image of a physical concept or part for use in the design and manufacturing process is known as reverse engineering.
CopyCAD offers a complete reverse engineering solution, enabling you to quickly bridge the gap between the physical and digital world.
CopyCAD delivers a powerful set of tools for freeform surface creation, supporting engineering activities, from concept model through detailed product development to finished high quality production tooling.
CopyCAD does not constrain the user to the traditional definitions of Reverse Engineering. Instead the CopyCAD toolkit offers its users a whole variety of comprehensive solution paths.
Surface Generation
Quickly creating high quality engineering surfaces over point cloud data captured through the scanning of physical objects.
Rapid Prototyping and Tooling
The advanced triangulation functions within the CopyCAD toolkit allows users to quickly create 'water tight' STL files for Rapid Prototyping and tooling.
Copy Milling and Rapid Tooling
CopyCAD's position in the Power Solution offers its users the capability to quickly and accurately machine scanned models in PowerMILL.
Product Visualisation
CopyCAD allows its users to quickly obtain a virtual representation of a product from point cloud or surface data. This model can be used within virtual reality systems or for 3D product archiving, animation and marketing materials.
Branding and Decoration
CopyCAD has a unique set of tools which enable its users to quickly add complex decorative 3D features and logos to CAD models, imported STL models and triangulated point data sets.
Features
- CopyCAD's triangulation wizard cuts the point cloud to triangle model processing time down to an absolute minimum
- Features within a model can be highlighted to aid surface fitting
- CopyCAD's unique 3D paintbrush allows users to interactively smooth and sculpt a triangle model in real time
- CopyCAD offers CAD style manipulation tools for modifying triangle models
