Typical Academic Workflow Using QUICKSURFACE for SOLIDWORKS University

A typical classroom or research workflow using QUICKSURFACE for SOLIDWORKS University includes the following steps::

  1. Import: Quickly import your scan data in STL, OBJ, or PTX formats.
  2. Extract Features: Extract features to properly define the alignment of the scan data.
  3. Align: Align the scan data correctly in 3D space.
  4. Cross-Sections: Extract cross-sections and define sketches for extruded and revolved surfaces.
  5. Build Models: Use traditional CAD features to build solid or surface models.
  6. Compare: Compare the result to the reference scan using a 3D color map to see the quality of the process.

QUICKSURFACE for SOLIDWORKS University ensures students develop practical, industry ready skills natively within the SOLIDWORKS ecosystem.

Key Features

  • Full Industry Standard Toolset

    Institutions receive the full QUICKSURFACE for SOLIDWORKS feature set—the exact same reverse engineering tools used by professionals worldwide.

  • Seamless Scan Data Import

    Load data from any scanner using industry-standard formats. A built-in polygon reduction function allows students to create manageable meshes without compromising quality.

  • Primitives Extraction

    Quickly reconstruct planes, cylinders, cones, and spheres directly into SOLIDWORKS as reference geometries, surfaces, or solid bodies.

  • 2D and 3D Sketching

    Extract lines, arcs, and complex 2D shapes (like rectangles and hexagons) easily. Draw 3D style lines and points directly on the scan data for precise surface modeling.

  • Freeform Modeling & Auto Surfacing

    Empowers students to reverse engineer organic shapes using one click auto surfacing. Proprietary snap-to-mesh technology allows even beginners to effortlessly reconstruct freeform surfaces.

  • Real Time Deviation Analyser

    Control reconstruction accuracy instantly. The deviation analyzer compares any SOLIDWORKS body against the reference scan data with near-instant speed using an efficient color map.
