Part of the Creaform Metrology Suite™, Scan-to-CAD is a post-treatment software module designed to optimise meshes and prepare 3D scans for 3D printing. Scan-to-CAD also enables designers and engineers to finalise 3D scan data and use it in their reverse engineering and product development workflows.
Scan-to-CAD’s powerful preparation and improvement tools let you quickly edit the mesh and align 3D scan data. After cleaning and improving the 3D scan data, you get a usable and optimised mesh ready for 3D printing or other applications.
With a simple right-click, export your 3D data and complete your design in your preferred CAD platform, without having to learn new software. Scan-to-CAD is compatible with any CAD platform using standard formats (.iges, .setp, .dxf).
With advanced design and modeling capabilities already included in CAD software, VXmodel offers all the complementary tools and features for mesh optimisation and seamless integration into scan-based design and reverse engineering processes.
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 CAD software.
Scan-to-CAD streamlines your reverse engineering workflow with intuitive tools for creating accurate parametric solid models on the first try.
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 to the following CAD software:
Scan-to-CAD’s intuitive functions allow you to optimise your mesh, extract all needed geometrical information, and, most importantly, return to your CAD workflow quickly.

Creaform Scan-to-CAD software offers you the flexibility to clean, align, and optimise the scanned data, as well as allowing you to extract dimensional information from the mesh before transferring it to CAD software.
With Scan-to-CAD, you can develop new innovative products with complex shapes and designs. This way, you gain new customers by pushing your product development further, where your competitors cannot go.
Scan-to-CAD enables you to extract all of the necessary dimensional information from 3D scans and use them for different retrofitting purposes, such as for replacing damaged components, updating obsolete parts, or fitting parts into an assembly.
Scan-to-CAD offers powerful preparation and improvement tools, which enables you to quickly edit the mesh and align 3D scan data. Once the 3D scan has been cleaned, an optimised mesh is ready for 3D printing or other applications.
