Specifications and key features:
Effortless Interaction
This 3D software is seamlessly integrated with SHINING 3D Scanning software. After scanning, you can transfer the mesh data to EXModel with a single click, making the transition from scan to design even easier.
Mesh Editing
Its mesh editing tools are simple to use and make it easy to reduce data size while maintaining accuracy. You can easily fill in holes and remove mesh outliers to easily create watertight meshes for 3D printing or reverse engineering.
Primitives Extraction
EXModel quickly reconstructs planes, cylinders, cones, and spheres. Additionally, create reference geometries like lines and points for use in aligning meshes to the world coordinate system or to other scans.
Constrained 2D Sketching
Use the dimensioning and constraint tools in EXModel Pro to create accurate sketches like in any other CAD package. Interactive cutting allows users to extract reference points for 2D sketches. At the same time, interactive creation can collaborate with world or CAD planes, or even cut surfaces of aligned curves. For even more power and efficiency, users can create multiple cutting surfaces at once.
*Available in the Pro version
3D Sketching & Fill Surface
Draw freeform curves directly on the reference mesh and create blended curves ready for future use, including filled surfaces, free forms from 3D sketches, or any other CAD surface manipulation. You can also create bounded surfaces from 3D sketches and get the best base shapes for your reference data for more accurate results.
*Available in the Pro version
Free-form Modeling & Auto Surfacing
Easily to reverse engineering organic shapes by one click auto-surfacing. Even more, the quad surface feature empowers users to manually reconstruct free-form surfaces. The snap-to-mesh technology enables even non-professionals to effortlessly create shapes, a unique feature not found in any other solutions.
Hybrid Modeling
In addition to being parametric for standard features, the software enables the creation of CAD models through a blend of free-form and prismatic features. Users have the flexibility to revisit and modify free-form surfaces if necessary, ensuring the ability to reconstruct results with ease.
*Available in the Pro version
Roll/Unroll
The feature allows users to flatten or manipulate curved surfaces, providing greater flexibility when working with intricate shapes. Users can also roll back 2D sketches to their original surfaces, ensuring a seamless workflow.
*Available in the Pro version
