Scan Data Workflows
Import and configure data from 3D scanners to
visualize and reverse-engineer consumer product
or vehicle models. Alias Surface helps you simplify
and remove data with tools for cutting, smoothing,
automatic hole filling, and reducing mesh. The
software can handle large models with millions of
polygons, so you can extract and evaluate shape and
form.
Feature Extraction
Spend less time creating and updating surface
models. This specialized tool lets you extract feature
information from scan data quickly.
Reverse Engineering
Analysis Tools
Get help fine-tuning your models with Alias Surface
analysis tools. They provide instant numerical or
graphical feedback on surface quality.
Hybrid Modeling
Integrate NURBS data into scan data. With Alias
Surface, you can evaluate and refine the resulting
hybrid model without resurfacing an entire model—
saving time and effort.
Surface Reconstruction
Automate the multistep process of filling holes
in scan data. Alias Surface recognizes exterior
curvature through user-defined sections by
generating a mesh patch.
Move easily between the analog and digital worlds. Autodesk
Alias Surface lets you incorporate changes to a physical model
into your digital model.
