Discover how to extract a CAD model from a 3D scan point cloud rapidly and efficiently with CATIA.
Today, 3D scans make it possible to digitize anything. And we are now able to reproduce them using 3D printing or analyze them using finite element computation. However, point clouds produced in this way are not immediately usable. They need to be transformed into CAD models, which can prove difficult, lengthy and somewhat tedious with the wrong tool.
Import your point clouds with Digitized Shape Editor and construct your surfaces with Quick Surface Reconstruction. Make Reverse-Engineering simple and fast with CATIA.
Go from eight hours spent with conventional CAD tools to just one hour with CATIA, as demonstrated in this video.
Imagine doing the same thing with scans of human body parts. With CATIA’s Automatic Surface Tool function, you can produce a usable CAD model in just one minute.
Once these reconstructions have been done, generating the input file for 3D printing is child’s play with CATIA.
Make life easier with CATIA.
