Rapidform XOR/Redesign

Rapidform XOR, the only 3G (third-generation) reverse engineering software, is a complete software application for creating CAD models from 3D scan data. With Rapidform XOR, you can open data from any 3D scanner and quickly create editable, parametric solid models of virtually any physical object. These models can be transferred from XOR into popular CAD applications, including SolidWorks®, Siemens NX™ and Pro/ENGINEER®, with complete feature trees intact. This means that – unlike second generation reverse engineering software – the models from XOR are editable just like any other part designed in CAD. And XOR can save models as Parasolid®, STP, IGS and STL for use in any CAD/CAM/CAE application.

Overview

Convert to your preferred file format, including SolidWorks, Pro/E, NX, AutoCAD, CATIA and others

Features

Rapidform XOR makes 3D scan data more useful

All 3D scanners create point clouds or meshes, which aren’t that useful for most design needs. Rapidform XOR is purpose-built to create usable 3D models directly from scan data.

The fastest way to get from raw scans to real CAD models

There is simply no faster way to get from unprocessed 3D scans to complete, feature-based solid models. XOR’s redesign tools save hours or days of work compared to rebuilding in your CAD software.

Easy to learn and use because it works like your CAD software

If you can design in CAD, you can start using XOR right away. It uses familiar tools for solid modeling, and skips the old reverse engineering workflows involving painstaking polygon editing and surface generation.

Powerful and flexible

People are doing amazing things with Rapidform every day. Since XOR is built on a complete CAD kernel (Parasolid), it gives you the flexibility to make real CAD models the way you want. Everything you need is contained in one application, without the need to flip back and forth between apps. Additionally, its automated scan data processing tools make it easy to unlock the full potential of your 3D scanner.
