Peel.CAD is specialized reverse engineering software permanently included with your Peel 3.CAD scanner. It serves as a seamless, high-efficiency bridge connecting your physical objects to your preferred CAD software. Extract vital geometric entities from point clouds instantly, optimize 3D meshes, and prepare your scan files for further parametric design with zero friction.
1. Geometrical entities: Easily generate precise cylinders, planes, spheres, and cones onto your mesh to either send to CAD or use for advanced alignment.
2. Cross-sections: Use virtual cutting planes to slice through your 3D mesh and accurately extract the profiles of any cross-sections you need.
3. Surfaces: Smoothly transform a specific section or your entire captured part into a surface model that is instantly usable inside CAD software.
4. Advanced improve: Take advantage of professional cleanup tools to fill holes, smooth rough patches, remove spikes, and edit boundaries effortlessly.
5. Advanced edit: Extend contours, create offsets, remesh data, and turn your model completely watertight before moving on to the next phase.
6. Direct transfer to CAD: Send all the geometric features you have created using your scan as a reference straight into your external CAD suite in a single click.
Extend your captured surfaces to easily patch areas you missed or couldn't catch on the first pass.
Combine several independent scan files into a single, highly detailed cohesive object.
Properly position your scan in 3D coordinate space for seamless downstream engineering.
Effortlessly polish away unwanted dents, bumps, or noise from the captured surface.
Minimize the triangle count to keep your files exceptionally lightweight without losing essential detail.
Apply real-world captured color during the scanning process to output crisp, vibrant textures.
Seamlessly fit the most useful shapes (planes, cylinders, cones) directly over your 3D scan mesh.
Virtually slice your mesh with custom planes to isolate and extract precise feature curves.
Automatically or manually fit high-quality surfaces onto complex physical geometries for engineering purposes.
Cleanly move all extracted reference geometry directly into your favorite external CAD platform.
You are interested in our 3D scanning solution, but you are wondering if your hardware and software are powerful enough to run and sustain them?
