What is QUICKSURFACE?
- QUICKSURFACE is a complete reverse-engineering solution for converting 3D scan polygonal meshes of digitized parts into accurate digital parametric CAD/CAM designs.

- QUICKSURFACE offers intuitive tools for Hybrid Parametric Modelling for both Organic and Prismatic Shapes.

- QUICKSURFACE is a standalone Windows 64-bit application for 3D reverse-engineering, enabling you to create new, better designs out of existing products.
Why you need QUICKSURFACE
QUICKSURFACE is a complete reverse- engineering solution that complements any 3D scanner and is created for engineers who want access to 3D modelling, but do not have the time to learn complex traditional CAD systems.
QUICKSURFACE - the bridge between 3D scanning and Manufacturing.
It provides you with tools to:
- Create producible designs
- Edit and repair CAD data for broken tools and moulds
- Increase design capabilities
- Use existing assets to reverse engineer new parts
- Design bespoke products
- Export remodelled data for 3D printing
- Transform physical parts into CAD for new designs
- Create new parts to fit with existing parts
- Simplify models for simulation
- Prepare models for manufacturing
- Speed up your time for manufacturing
- Reduce costs for design

How it works?
- Once you have scanned your object and exported it as STL, OBJ or PLY mesh or PTX point cloud you can import your mesh in QUICKSURFACE. As the software is fully optimised, there is no limitation of the size of the mesh you import.

- Use QUICKSURFACE's simple and powerful tools to create 2D sketches, extruded 3D sketches and revolved surfaces, free form curves, surfaces, and prismatic features.

- QUICKSURFACE offers standard CAD operations like trim, revolve, booleans, loft, sweep, extend, mirrors and patterns. Finish your work by adding fillets and chamfers.

- Keep control over your work with accurate deviation control at any time. QUICKSURFACE can create complex hybrid 3D models.

- Remodel your object with the best accuracy and design intent.

- Once you are ready, export as industry standard STEP or IGES file format to other CAD/ CAM packages or use your results for 3D Printing or CNC machining. QUICKSURFACE offers a full parametric tree into SOLIDWORKS.

Why QUICKSURFACE?
We don’t compare our solution to other packages, but we simply highlight some of the features that make QUICKSURFACE different:
- Interactive selection by the user instead of automatic segmentation on reference mesh;
- Constrained best fit (for example the ability to constrain the direction of the cylinder to be parallel to an axis, while still getting the best fit to the points);
- Relations between extracted primitives – parallelism, perpendicular, coincidence, offset;
- Quick alignment based on extracted primitive (datum) prioritization;
- Realtime deviation colour map in 2D Sketch mode;
- Proprietary snap-to-mesh technology for free form modelling;
- The ability to modify the automatic surface, if the design intent requires it;
- QUICKSURFACE Free Form is not only exact surfacing, the user can manually adjust the resolution and position of control points to avoid mapping of the surface to the reference mesh which may have outliers and noise;
- Realtime deviation in Free Form, helping to create lighter surfaces with less control points;
- Parametric hybrid modelling – starting with free form and basic primitives, the user can build a complex CAD model by trimming them and can later change the surfaces based on the design intent;
- QS Connect module for SOLIDWORKS never ends with “Transfer failed”. The software guides the user to create an error-free model in SOLIDWORKS;
- QUICKSURFACE has neither hardware integration with scanners nor mesh processing tools which the modern 3D scanners provide. As a result of this, the user does not have to pay extra for tools already included in the 3D scanners’ software;
