Surface combines fast, repeatable curve-based
modeling tools with the ability to directly sculpt 3D
models.
Dynamic Shape Modeling
Experiment with shapes at any stage of the design
process. Quickly manipulate your model, exploring
variations on 3D forms without rebuilding geometry,
or make real-time modifications in design reviews.
Shape objects dynamically with these powerful
tools:
Lattice Rig—Sculpt geometry by manipulating a
•
customizable lattice created around an object.
Transformer Rig—Use curves and surfaces as
•
controls to modify or constrain portions of
existing geometry.
Bend—Bend geometry using a curve to control
•
deformation.
Twist—Twist geometry around a single-axis curve.
•
Conform—Conform geometry to the shape of
•
another surface.
Rapid Prototyping
Build physical prototypes more efficiently from
digital models. With rapid prototyping, you can
develop and refine designs before committing
to production. Print in 3D using STL output for
stereolithography by exporting data to computer
numerical control (CNC) machines. Alias Surface
supports 3D printing in color.
Design Modeling
The concept
development phase
demands close
collaboration between
designers and engineers
to produce concepts that
are new, yet technically
feasible.
Take your 3D models to the next level. Evolve concepts
through a creative, iterative process.
