Power Surfacing RE for SOLIDWORKS

Power Surfacing RE gives SOLIDWORKS users a unique set of tools to rebuild shapes from many meshes — 3D scans, FEA meshes, sculpted meshes, 3D printer files, and online model databases — directly inside SOLIDWORKS, without leaving your native CAD environment. It is primarily targeted at reverse engineering organic data; mechanical data is reconstructed using native SOLIDWORKS tools.

What Our Customers Say

"I was able to convert the very complex scan I was working with to a usable surface. It made the workload MUCH easier and I have been able to save at least 40 hours of CAD in this project. Power Surfacing RE has been extremely helpful."

Justin Lefebvre

Derby Building Products Inc.

"Your Power Surfacing RE has been an amazing (and fun) tool to work with. Thanks again for the amazing software — Power Surfacing makes my job fun!"

Jesse Maier

Maier Manufacturing, Inc.

"We have some recent successes after the implementation of Power Surfacing which has — in a particular project — phenomenally reduced the time to get parts to tooling, by approximately 4 weeks!"
