Scan-to-CAD Part of the Creaform Metrology Suite™

AMETEK GmbH-Division Creaform Deutschland

Description

Complex and inefficient workflows make creating accurate CAD models from scan data difficult. As
designers and engineers must work around limited mesh-handling functionalities in CAD
software, extracting information from scan data is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

To overcome these challenges, Creaform developed Scan-to-CAD software module. Scan-to-CAD is a post-processing software module designed to simplify feature extraction and CAD modeling from scan data.

Powered by advanced mesh algorithms, it offers flexible alignment, optimized mesh editing, and a robust toolset for automatic feature creation.


Scan-to-CAD transfers extracted geometry directly into any CAD platform. Parametric transfer is even made easier with SOLIDWORKS, giving designers a seamless path from scan to CAD in just a few clicks—boosting both efficiency and capability.


Satisfied with its performance and comprehensive toolset, thousands of professionals have endorsed Scan-to-CAD as their go-to complement to CAD software — enabling the most streamlined workflow from scan to mesh to CAD.
