VXmodel is a post-treatment software that directly integrates into VXelements,
Creaform's 3D software platform, and allows the finalization of 3D scan data to
use directly in any CAD or 3D printing software. VXmodel provides the simplest
and fastest path from 3D scans to your computer-aided design or additive manu-
facturing workflow.
A great addition to the Creaform 3D scanners, VXmodel is simple but powerful,
including only the features necessary to complement your CAD software. You
already have all the design and modeling capabilities in your CAD software:
VXmodel simply provides the tools you need for a quick and seamless integration
into your scan-based design process.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Since it is fully integrated into VXelements, VXmodel can directly build on its automatically generated mesh. It presents the functionalities you need to
finalize your file fast and bring it to your CAD workflow.
ALIGNMENT
MESH IMPROVEMENT
Before starting to reverse engineer the object, the scan must first be
aligned to the coordinate system suiting your design requirements.
With the highly flexible VXmodel alignment tool, you can simply
constraint your scan using datums/entities and you will then start your
design process on a strong foundation.
GEOMETRICAL ENTITIES & CROSS-SECTIONS
VXmodel enables you to improve the 3D scan mesh and make it more
suitable to the CAD or 3D printing process. Simple but powerful tools to
make sure you have the perfect file to start your reverse engineering or
3D printing process.
Available tools: Heal mesh | Fix normals | Hole filling, defeature
Decimate/Refine mesh | Smooth mesh | Smooth boundary | And more...
MESH EDITING
Use your 3D scan as a reference for your design: extract all the
information you need from the mesh by creating geometrical entities,
curves, cross-sections and even NURBS surfaces for characterizing
freeform surfaces. The highly flexible, user-friendly VXmodel interface
lets you quickly segment the mesh into all of the primitive entities
required to complete the design in your CAD software.
VXmodel will help you modify the 3D scan mesh, make it watertight and
quickly generate print-ready files for your rapid manufacturing workflow.
Available tools: Scale mesh | Shell/Offset mesh Make watertight mesh |
Boundary extrusion | Divide/Cut mesh by plane/Curve | And more...
