Creaform announces direct transfer to SOLIDWORKS feature in upcoming VXmodel software release
Lévis, Québec – Creaform, worldwide leader in portable 3D measurement solutions and engineering services, announced today the latest upgrade to its scan-to-CAD software module. Part of VXelements, Creaform’s 3D software platform and application suite, VXmodel features a new collaborative functionality for direct transfer to Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS and streamlined workflows for reverse engineering and additive manufacturing in scan-to-CAD to print.
“VXmodel provides engineers with a simple, yet powerful, software solution that significantly accelerates reverse engineering process time. It now fulfills its duty as an integrated bridge for scan-to-CAD processes more than ever,” said Simon Côté, Product Manager.
Here are some of the improvements added in this upcoming release of VXmodel:
- Direct transfer to SOLIDWORKS: Thanks to the “Direct transfer to SOLIDWORKS” function, all the essential information needed for your reverse engineering process such as NURBS surfaces, cross-sections and geometrical entities are automatically transferred into the CAD software in a single click!
