VX Model

VXmodel is a post-treatment software from Creaform that directly integrates into their VXelements, and enables finalizing 3D scan data to use directly in any 3D printing or CAD software. VXmodel provides the simplest and fastest path from 3D scans to your computer-aided design or additive manufacturing workflow.

A great addition to any Creaform 3D scanner, 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 software: VXmodel only provides the tools you need for a quick and seamless integration into your scan-based design process.

VXmodel provides simple, yet efficient tools required to prepare the 3D scan mesh for reverse engineering or 3D printing.

STEP 1: Edit mesh

STEP 2: Align

STEP 3: Extract entities

STEP 4: Transfer to CAD

VXmodel provides simple, yet efficient tools to prepare the 3D scan mesh for reverse engineering or 3D printing.

  • Clean mesh
  • Fill holes
  • Merge meshes
  • Decimate mesh
  • Make mesh watertight

3D scans must be aligned to the coordinate system before exporting, which is a simple but crucial finalization step. The VXmodel alignment tool is highly flexible and straightforward.

  • Entity-based alignment
  • Best fit alignment

VXmodel allows you to easily generate NURBS surfaces for characterizing freeform regions. Geometric entities can be easily extracted from the mesh to complete the design in any CAD software.

  • Auto surface
  • Manual surface
  • 2D/3D entities
  • Curves
  • Cross-sections

With VXmodel, you can easily export 3D data to any CAD platform using standard formats (.iges, .setp, .dxf). With a simple right-click, geometric entities can be transferred directly to the following CAD software (sold separately):

  • SOLIDWORKS
  • Autodesk Inventor
  • Autodesk Fusion 360
  • Solid Edge
