Quicksurface PRO Reverse Engineering

QUICKSURFACE

Quicksurface PRO 3D data bridge software for reverse engineering compliments any scanner that can export STL mesh data or Point Cloud (PTX) data.

It is also available as a basic Quicksurface LITE subscription based low cost version. ( See here for differences )

QuickSurface PRO 2026 is the full suite stand alone package that includes 12 month Maintence upgrades and PRO support.

But we now offer a NEW PLAN with three different pricing plans for implementing Quicksurface PRO 2026:

* Total Subscription license payment will be discounted from a purchase of the PRO PERPETUAL License at completion is an option

Quicksurface PRO 2026 with the following new features:

Twelve new major features that will boost your productivity:
- Accurate scan alignment by features, scan-to-scan, or scan-to-CAD
- Large meshes editing and optimisation
- Fast geometric primitive extraction
- 2D & 3D sketching on scan data
- Parametric design with full dimension control
- Advanced tools — Loft, Sweep, Shell, Thicken, Draft, Move Face, Patterns
- Automatic and freeform surfacing
- Hybrid modelling of solids and freeform surfaces
- Real-time deviation control and accuracy check
- Flattening and unrolling tools
- Powered by Siemens Parasolid for reliability and speed

Quicksurface PRO 2026 now with the Siemens Parasolids kernel offers a new enhanced suite of tools to convert large mesh data into usable CAD files such as SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Fusion 360, Inventor, Creo etc.

Generally it provides tools :

Import and manage huge mesh data files via .stl, .obj & .ptx formats.
Allows specific mesh selection to identify features like, planes, cylinders, spheres, circles and arcs.
Align scan data into the CAD World co-ordinate system.
Allows edge, hole and stud detection and surface sketching, with trimming.
Export remodelled data in CAD file formats such as IGES, STEP and for Solidworks and Inventor.
Speed up and simpify standard CAD for manufacturing
Reduce costs for design

Quicksurface PRO allows a powerful design technique of Hybrid reverse engineering where engineering modifications and additions can be done with existing scanned objects.

Hybrid Modeling with Quicksurface PR

Quicksurface Lite is a condensed subset of the PRO version. It offers the most relevant features required for Reverse Engineering (RE) at an entry level pricing (starting at A$750 + GST for a 12mth license) that allows usesr to benefit from a capable toolset for RE. An upgrade path being available to the full expanded features of PRO at the discount of amount paid.

Scan Data Import

Load data from any scanner using the industry standard STL, OB or PLY mesh files. For long range scanners, the data can be imported using PTX file format. Being a 64 bit application allows the user to load any size mesh. For the purposes of manipulation the build-in polygon reduction function allows the user to create a mesh with suitable number of triangles without compromising the quality of the mesh.

Interactive selection

Simple to use tools to quickly extract areas of interes. Magic wand, brush and free form selection allows the user to identify the areas that represent features or free form surfaces

Primitives extraction

Reconstruct quickly planes, cylinders, cones and spheres. Create relations between them as peprendicularity, parallelism and coincidence.
You can also create a reference geometries like lines and points for use in align mesh to space operation for correctly positioning the object into the world coordinate system

Symmetry Plane

Find a plane of symmetry of the object. Use the analyser to identify the quality of the position of the plane. Fine tune the position with on-screen controls to achieve the best results.

Object align

Position the object into the world coordinate system using the extracted primitives. The interactive definition of the coordinate system allows the user to adjust the correct orientation of the object.

2D Sectioning

Interactive sectioning allows the user to extract rerefence points for 2D Sketching. Align the section plane to extracted primitives, CAD faces and even create section interactively on the screen. For the purposes of lofting – the user can also create multiple sections at once

Constrained 2D Sketching

Use dimenstions and constraints to create accurate sketches like in any other CAD package

3D Sketching, Loft, Sweep surfacing

Draw free form curves directly on the reference mesh then create surfaces by standard commands – loft, sweep, pipe. Join the surface or use them in trimming operations.

Fit Surface

Select area of interest and let the software to approximate the selection with a free form surface. The resulting surface is extended so it is suitable for trimming. The real-time deviation colour map instantly shows the quality of the surface. Automatic option allows the user to create surface as close as possible to the reference mesh.

Free Form Modelling

Quad surface allows the user to reconstruct free form surface which is not possible with the standard surfacing methods.
Proprietary snap-to-mesh technology allows even non-professionals to create shapes in no time – something not available in any other solutions.

Real-time deviation analyser

Speed optimised real-time distance colour map allows the user to keep everything in control and get the most accurate results

Automatic Surfacing

Create surface on organic shapes with just hit of a button.
No user interaction required.
QUICKSURFACE provides you with one of the best automatic surfacing available today. The algorithm optimises the number of resulting nurb patches to be minimal. The surface quality is G2 everywhere and G1 at extraordinary points.

Hybrid parametric modelling

Together of being parametric for the standard features, the software allows you to create CAD models as a combination of free form and prismatic features. The user can always get back and modify even the free form surfaces if needed and get the results reconstructed.

Triming & Boolean operations

Create surfaces or solids by using mutual trim operation or boolean operations on solids. The coloured display and diagnostic tools allow you to identify the issues while performing these operations

Fillet & Chamfer

The chamfer and fillet operations provide a realtime analyser. Just drag the arrow to define the fillet radius on the screen and see immediatelly the deviation of the fillets against the reference mesh. And all this in real-time

Deviation Analyser

Control the accuracy of your reconstruction with the efficient distance colour map. Compare the CAD model against the reference mesh at any time of your process

Link to other CAD Packages

Export reconstructed surfaces or solid models for use in other packages using the industry standard format STEP or IGES.
