Class A Polygonal Modeling & Fast Surfacing for Manufacturing Applications

PolyWorks/Modeler™ is a comprehensive software solution for creating accurate and smooth polygonal models and NURBS surfaces from high-density point clouds. Preferred by automotive design studios worldwide, PolyWorks/Modeler™ is the only software solution that has demonstrated the capability of creating class A polygonal models for stringent polygonal manufacturing applications such as 3-axis & 5-axis milling, aerodynamic simulation, and digital review. PolyWorks/Modeler™ also offers a powerful rapid surfacing methodology that delivers the fastest reverse-engineering cycles on the market.

PolyWorks/Modeler™ allows you to:

Generate manufacturable class A polygonal models

• Transform aligned point clouds into highly accurate polygonal models using PolyWorks' unique tolerance-based adaptive meshing technology.
• Reconstruct perfect polygonal features from imperfectly digitized geometry.
• Apply all typical CAD operations directly to polygonal models and prepare these models for a wide variety of manufacturing applications such as milling, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, inspection, CFD & FEA, digital review, etc.

Create smoother NURBS surfaces faster

• Use outstanding feature-tracking tools to extract feature center curves, fillet tangent lines, or sharp edge curves at dazzling speeds.
• Control the rigidity of the fitted NURBS surfaces, mimicking a sheet metal material for getting super-smooth surfaces without ripples, or a plastic material to closely follow subtle polygonal details.

Optimize your subsequent efforts in the downstream CAD application by minimizing the number of control points and patches, increasing the smoothness of patches, and easily creating perfect feature curves.
