Peel 3 capture, CAD-focused output
A grip that works around the part
The multi-position handle supports one-handed scanning from the top, side or underside, helping operators stay comfortable as they move around complex geometry.
Keep scan feedback in view
The integrated display keeps distance, coverage and scanner controls close to the object, so the operator can stay focused even when the computer is out of sight.
Feel when the scan needs attention
Recognisable vibration patterns provide immediate guidance on scanning conditions, helping the operator react without breaking their movement around the part.
A practical bridge from mesh to CAD
Peel 3.CAD combines the handheld scanner with tools for extracting geometrical entities, surfaces and cross-sections from scan data. Export the useful design information into your preferred downstream CAD package instead of rebuilding every reference from scratch.
Build useful references from the scan rather than treating the mesh as a visual backdrop.
Generate cross-sections and profiles at the locations your design needs.
Create surface references for downstream reverse engineering.
Four connected steps
Keep the reverse engineering hand-off clean
1Scan
Capture the physical part while Peel.OS shows coverage and tracking in real time.
2Finalise
Clean, optimise and align the mesh to the coordinate system required downstream.
3Extract
Create geometrical entities, surfaces and cross-sections from the aligned scan.
4Transfer
Export the extracted information and continue modelling in your preferred CAD software.
Purpose-built tools around scan data
Work with the mesh in a focused interface, then hand off only the geometry your model needs. This keeps Peel 3.CAD useful across different engineering teams without forcing a wholesale change of CAD platform.
Everything needed for the first scan
The Peel.OS and Peel.CAD software package brings the scanner, protected transport and core workflow tools together, ready for evaluation, setup and operator training.

peel 3.CAD questions
What does Peel.CAD add to Peel.OS?
Peel.OS handles capture and mesh processing. Peel.CAD adds tools for extracting geometrical entities, surfaces and cross-sections for use in downstream CAD software.
What is the difference between Peel.CAD and Peel.CAD Pro?
Peel.CAD prepares entities and references for another CAD package. Peel.CAD Pro adds sketching, modelling, model comparison and a more complete scan-to-CAD workflow inside the Peel environment.
Which CAD formats can it export?
The current official workflow includes STP, IGS, CSV and DXF outputs for extracted geometry. We will prove the required hand-off with your software during evaluation.
Are positioning targets always required?
No. Peel 3 can position from geometry, targets and texture. Targets are useful on flatter or smoother surfaces, or when accuracy is the priority.
Can we test our own part and CAD system?
Yes. Bring a representative part and identify the required downstream output. We will evaluate capture, extraction and transfer as one workflow.
What local support is available?
Professional CAD Systems provides New Zealand-based evaluation, setup, training and technical support. Current hardware, software and protection-plan terms are confirmed with your quote.
