What QUICKSURFACE is
QUICKSURFACE is Windows desktop software that converts 3D scan data into editable, parametric CAD models for reverse engineering. It imports STL, OBJ, and PLY meshes and PTX point clouds. Its tools include mesh editing and repair, scan alignment, geometry and feature extraction, sketching, fit surfaces, freeform surfacing, hybrid parametric modeling, and deviation analysis. QUICKSURFACE Pro exports reconstructed models as IGES or STEP files for use with other CAD/CAM packages. Lite includes mesh repair, scan alignment, feature extraction, fit surfaces, 2D and 3D sketching, and IGES/STEP export. The Personal edition is limited to individual non-commercial use and STL export; STEP, IGES, and Parasolid exports are reserved for Pro. A SOLIDWORKS add-in is available for SOLIDWORKS Desktop 3D CAD and requires that software. Pro and the add-in have a 30-day free trial. The stated minimum setup is a 64-bit Windows 10 PC, Intel i5-equivalent CPU, 16 GB RAM, 256 GB HDD, and dedicated NVIDIA or AMD graphics. QUICKSURFACE is developed by KVS Ltd, based in Cambridge, United Kingdom.
