QuickSurface for SolidWorks

QuickSurface for SolidWorks Overview

Designed for engineers, designers, and reverse engineering specialists, QuickSurface for SolidWorks provides a dedicated environment within SolidWorks for processing 3D scan data. Its geometric and surfacing reconstruction tools allow transforming a scanned mesh into a clean, parametric, and immediately usable CAD model.

Its strength lies as much in reconstruction accuracy as in the flexibility to work with complex data, often difficult to handle natively in SolidWorks. For teams needing to restore, modify, or reproduce physical parts, QuickSurface becomes a key component of a reliable reverse-engineering workflow.

Main Features of QuickSurface for SolidWorks

Reference Geometries

QuickSurface automatically extracts planes, cylinders, axes, spheres, and symmetries directly from the mesh. These best-fit primitives form the foundation of the CAD model, ensuring reliable, coherent geometry perfectly aligned with the scanned data.

Scan Data Alignment

The alignment module positions the scanned part in a clean coordinate system. It facilitates merging multiple scans, referencing orientation, and fitting the mesh to an existing model. The result is a properly placed mesh ready for CAD reconstruction.

2D Sketch

From sections extracted from the mesh, QuickSurface generates clean 2D contours: lines, arcs, and precise profiles. Correction and adjustment tools ensure parametric sketches suitable for quickly reconstructing solid geometry in SolidWorks.

3D Sketching and Best-Fit Surfaces

For complex areas, 3D sketching extracts edges, master curves, and guides directly from the mesh. Best-fit surfaces closely follow the scan while maintaining clean CAD-compatible topology, essential for further modifications.

Reverse Engineering of Organic Surfaces

QuickSurface also excels in reconstructing freeform shapes. Its surfacing tools allow reproducing organic, irregular, or plastic volumes with precise patch control. These surfaces can be exported directly into SolidWorks without any alteration.

Comparison and Accuracy Control

Once the model is reconstructed, a deviation analysis compares each point of the original mesh to the CAD model. The color map highlights discrepancies, allowing verification of the reverse engineering fidelity. An essential tool for quality and production requirements.

Other Advantages of QuickSurface for SolidWorks

• Versatile scan data import: supports STL, OBJ, PLY, and PTX formats to easily integrate meshes from professional 3D scanners.
• Mesh simplification and smoothing: dedicated tools to reduce mesh density, remove noise, and obtain cleaner surfaces before CAD reconstruction.
• Primitive extraction and symmetry plane: automatic detection of key geometric shapes and rapid identification of axes or symmetry planes.
• Precise alignment: positions the scan in space or adjusts it directly onto an existing CAD model for perfect geometric consistency.
• Cross sections: generates usable cuts for 2D sketching, reconstruction, or geometric analysis.
• Advanced 2D shape recognition: automatic identification of contours and profiles, useful to accelerate parametric modeling.
• 3D sketching with controlled tolerance: extraction of precise master curves with fine deviation management relative to the mesh.
• Surface fitting: creation of best-fit surfaces perfectly adapted to the mesh for a clean and accurate CAD model.
• Deviation analyzer: visual comparison of the CAD model with scanned data using a color map.
• Freeform and hybrid modeling: combination of organic and geometric surfaces to handle complex-shaped parts.
• Snap to Mesh technology: automatically captures edges and mesh details during geometry creation.
• Automatic surfacing: generates complete surfaces in one click to accelerate reverse engineering of organic parts.
