QUICKSURFACE - Better 3D Lab

Powerful Parametric Reverse Engineering In Your Hands

QUICKSURFACE is a standalone application for 3D Reverse engineering working on Windows 10. It’s the ultimate Reverse Engineering solution for your 3D scanner or any polygon-based 3D modeling software aiming at converting the design to B-rep based CAD models. Equipped with full feature set, ease of use and efficient algorithms, QUICKSURFACE provides unbeatable reverse engineering enviroment for most types of polygonal formats, including STL, OBJ, and PTX. The output of your reverse engineering work can be standard CAD exchange formats STEP, IGES, or a fully parametric SolidWorks part SLDPRT (you need to have Solidworks installed to achieve this).

Two commercial versions of QUICKSURFACE are available at this moment – Full and Free Form. Full has all the feature-based parametric CAD modelling capabalities and the parametric history can be exported to Solidworks. Free Form inherits the powerful free form and auto surfacing tools from the Full version and is suitable for creating NURBS surfaces from irregular, organic shapes (e.g. scanned artwork, digital scupture from ZBrush, etc). See the full comparision chart at the bottom of this page.

QUICKSURFACE Full

QUICKSURFACE Full is the ultimate solution for Reverse Engineering compatible with any 3D Scanner exporting STL meshes or PTX point clouds. It’s equipped with the hybrid parametric modelling for both organic and prismatic shapes. QUICKSURFACE Full allows you to export your reverse engineering CAD work to standard IGES or STEP file formats or to build fully parametric history tree directly into SOLIDWORKS.

Scan Data Import

Load data from any scanner using the industry standard STL mesh files. For long range scanners, the data can be imported using PTX file format. Reduce the number of polygons while keeping the original reference mesh for best results.

Primitives

Reconstruct quickly planes, cylinders and spheres. Create relations between them as peprendicularity, parallelism and coincidence.
Curvature based selection and best fitting algorithms allow the user to create precise primitives with ease.

Orienting Reference Mesh

Fast and easy orient the mesh in space in the correct position with respect to world coordinate system using extracted primitives including middle plane or even the position manually if needed. Display of mirrored points of the mesh will help to setup symmetrical objects correctly.

2D Sketching

Efficient 2D Sketching using section points from the mesh as a reference. Real-time deviation colour map provides control over the whole process.

Contruct Extruded and Revolved surfaces from the 2D sketch.

Trim, Fillet and Patterns

Apply standard operation on surfaces to achieve connected surfaces or solid bodies. Control in real-time fillet operation to the the best results. Mirror and Circular pattern save the user a lot of time and provide great results.

Free Form Modelling

Quad surface allows the user to reconstruct free form surface which is not possible with the standard surfacing methods.

Real-time analyzer and snap-to-mesh technology allows even non-professionals to create shapes in no time. Something which is not available in any other solutions.

Automatic Surfacing

Create surface on organic shapes with hit of a button. No user interaction required.

History-based Parametric Modelling

Get back and modify any of the shapes, including free form and get the end result immediately. Parametric modelling is a key feature of QUICKSURFACE.

Link To Other CAD Packages

Export reconstructed surfaces or solid models for use in other packages using the industry standard format STEP or IGES.

QSConnect for SOLIDWORKS

User guided process allows the user to transfer the whole parametric history into SOLIDWORKS directly. The process is controlled by QUICKSURFACE to achieve error-free models and save a lot of time.

Why QUICKSURFACE?

Interactive selection by the user instead of automatic segmentation on reference mesh
Constrained best fit (for example the ability to constrain the direction of the cylinder to be parallel to an axis, while still getting the best fit to the points)
Relations between extracted primitives – parallelism, perpendicularity, coincidence, offset
Quick alignment based on extracted primitive (datum) prioritization
Mirrored point display to check symmetry of the aligned scan object
Realtime deviation colour map in 2D Sketch mode
Proprietary snap-to-mesh technology for free form modelling
Manipulator based accurate modification of the free form surfaces
The ability to modify the automatic surface, if the design intent requires it
QUICKSURFACE Free Form is not only exact surfacing, the user can manually adjust the resolution and position of control points to avoid mapping of the surface to the reference mesh which may have outliers and noise
Realtime deviation in Free Form, helping to create lighter surfaces with less control points
Control of patch size, and thus resolution on the final Free Form surface
Parametric hybrid modelling – starting with free form and basic primitives, the user can build a complex CAD model by trimming them and can later change the surfaces based on the design intent
QSConnect module for SOLIDWORKS never ends with “Transfer failed”. The software guides the user to create an error-free model in SOLIDWORKS
QUICKSURFACE has neither hardware integration with scanners nor mesh processing tools which the modern 3D scanners provide. As a result of this, the user does not have to pay extra for tools already included in the 3D scanners’ software
An affordable price for faster return on investment

QUICKSURFACE Free Form

Utilising the same core technologies from the QUICKSURFACE full version, QUICKSURFACE Free Form edition allows you to reconstruct CAD models from STL/point cloud data with organic shapes and complex curvatures. The unique Free Form, Wrap Surface and Auto Surface tools let you do both manual and automatic surfacing on complicated models. QUICKSURFACE Free Form saves your time to build usable CAD models not possible before.
