Products
Five specialized products for CAD design, freeform modeling, reverse engineering, and advanced surfacing — standalone or inside SOLIDWORKS.
Standalone Applications
Complete design and reverse engineering — no third-party CAD license required.
Power Surfacing RE Studio
Standalone reverse-engineering software for scanned and sculpted meshes
- Reverse engineering scanned meshes into accurate, editable NURBS geometry
- Converting ZBrush and other sculpted meshes into CAD-ready surfaces
- Rebuilding human forms, animal shapes, and other organic geometry
Inputs
STL, OBJ meshes, Sculpted meshes
Outputs
STEP, STL, Wavefront OBJ, Native SOLIDWORKS features
Power Surfacing Studio
Standalone freeform Sub-D and Class A surfacing design software
- Designing complex freeform, organic industrial design shapes
- Modeling consumer products like bottles, handles, and enclosures
- Creating jewelry, cutlery, and character designs with Sub-D precision
Inputs
Sketches, OBJ / FBX meshes, Primitive shapes
Outputs
Class A NURBS surfaces, Solid bodies, STEP
SOLIDWORKS Add-ins
Extend SOLIDWORKS with freeform surfacing, reverse engineering, and advanced shelling.
Power Surfacing for SOLIDWORKS
Freeform Sub-D and Class A surfacing inside SOLIDWORKS
- Adding organic, freeform surfaces to mechanical assemblies
- Consumer product and industrial design inside SOLIDWORKS
- Automotive interior, exterior, and sporting goods surfacing
Inputs
SOLIDWORKS sketches, OBJ / FBX meshes
Outputs
SOLIDWORKS solid & surface bodies
Power Surfacing RE for SOLIDWORKS
Reverse engineer scanned and polygonal meshes inside SOLIDWORKS
- Reverse engineering 3D scanner data directly in SOLIDWORKS
- Converting ZBrush sculpted meshes into SOLIDWORKS geometry
- Rebuilding parts from FEA and 3D printer mesh files
Inputs
3D scans, STL / OBJ meshes, Topology Study meshes
Outputs
SOLIDWORKS solid & surface bodies
Power Shell for SOLIDWORKS
When Shell fails, Power Shell prevails
- Shelling organic, complex, or self-intersecting geometry
- Thickening surface bodies that fail with native Thicken
- Preparing consumer products for injection molding
Inputs
SOLIDWORKS solids & surfaces
Outputs
Shelled / thickened SOLIDWORKS bodies
