Creaform Introduces the Pro version of its Scan-to-CAD Application Module

Creaform, a business of AMETEK, and worldwide provider of automated and portable 3D measurement solutions, announced the release of Scan-to-CAD Pro, a powerful new application module integrated within the Creaform Metrology Suite. It has been specifically designed to streamline and enhance reverse engineering workflows with a more concise approach.

Initially launched in 2014, Creaform’s Scan-to-CAD software module is a popular 3D scan data processing software that creates a simple, easy-to-use bridge between the 3D scan acquisition and the CAD or rapid prototyping (3D printing) software. Now available in two versions, both the standard Scan-to-CAD module and the new Scan-to-CAD Pro module come ready with advanced algorithms to extract information from meshes, flexible alignment, optimized mesh editing tools, and powerful selection capabilities. While both powerful, this latest addition provides a new option for professionals to choose from, to ensure a perfect fit with their reverse engineering workflow.

With superior new features, including 2D sketching and 3D modeling tools, the new Scan-to-CAD Pro acts like a seamless gateway between 3D scanning and CAD software, such as SolidWorks. It speeds up the process of converting a 3D scan data to a mesh to a highly detailed CAD model, and in some cases even allows for the complete workflow to be done within this single software module. Scan-to-CAD Pro simplifies feature extraction and CAD modeling from 3D scan data, enabling manufacturers to save time and streamline product design processes for a perfect fit on the very first try. No more cumbersome design iterations, especially with complex geometries. Ultimately, Scan-to-CAD Pro, combined with the performance and versatility of Creaform’s 3D scanners, is a company’s go-to solution for eliminating the back-and-forth between 3D scanning and CAD software and accelerating its time to market.
