Rapidform XOR

Parametric CAD Models from 3D Scan Data

Rapidform XOR allows engineers to capture the design intent and design parameters of real world parts that may have lost their defining features during the manufacturing process or may not hav  ever had a CAD model. 3D scanning technology and Rapidform XOR provide manufacturers with the freedom and flexibility to extract the design parameters of any real world part, including prismatic features and freeform surfaces. Because the CAD models created in Rapidform XOR are fully parametric, designers and engineers are able to modify the design parameters of the real world part to perfect the model for mass production within Rapidform XOR or in a downstream CAD system

• Intelligent tools for extracting design parameters from 3D scan data - Redesign AssistantTM
• Redesign within user-defined deviation tolerances - Accuracy AnalyzerTM
• Intelligently identify and align 3D scan data to an ideal design coordinate system - Align WizardTM
• Reduce design time by using 3D scan data as a design foundation
• Use the output data, with modeling history intact, in CAD, CAM and CAE
• Modeling history and parameter management like other CAD systems
• Standard solid & surface modeling workflows such as extrude, round, revolve, sweep and loft
• Seamless interoperability with full modeling history to other CAD applications - liveTransferTM

Immediately Realize the Benefits of 3D Scanning

The design tools used to create models in Rapidform XOR are immediately recognizable to those already familiar with CAD applications. Engineers capable of designing with SolidWorks, CATIA, Pro/ENGINEER or UGS NX can immediately begin modeling in Rapidform XOR. The design process in Rapidform XOR utilizes Common CAD modeling features, user interfaces and processes such as extrude, round, revolve, sweep and loft. These features serve to make both Rapidform XOR and 3D scanning technology readily accessible to engineers, while the ease of use of the product allows 3D scan-based design to be institutionalized within the manufacturing process to increase the overall quality of products

• Intelligent design process which eliminates the need for complete scans of parts
• Create high quality CAD models from imperfect scan data
• Save processing time by eliminating the need for polygon mesh cleanup and surfacing
• Models are instantly editable in both Rapidform XOR and major CAD systems
• Update existing CAD models to reflect changes in the as-built par - CAD Correct™

RAPIDFORM XOR/ REDESIGN’S “WOW” FA CTORS - ONGOING INOVA TIONS

CAD Correct™. Unsolved Manufacturing Problem - Bridging the gap between CAD and Actual Part
CAD Correct feature is an unprecedented tool to compensate the gap between an original CAD model and an actual part when you already have a CAD model but its real-life counterpart has been modified manually. In this case, Rapidform XOR automatically refits the original geometries of the existing CAD model onto the digitalized mesh model and then optimizes them with preserving the original geometric information such as continuity and surface parameters. Manufacturing companies today are facing increasing pressures to reduce tooling times and costs. With this CAD Correct feature automating the tool duplication process, Rapidform XOR helps manufacturers effectively outpace the competition

One-button CAD Correct using CAD-to-Scan Refit
With Rapidform XOR, you can import an existing CAD model and update the geometry to match a scanned physical part. CAD-to-Scan “Refit” provides an easy way to update the CAD model to reflect the As-Built geometry. With the Rapidform XOR’s Refit technology, G2 continuity and G2 continuity matching are guaranteed throughout the updated surfaces. For example, Refit enables users, like stamping- die designers, to easily correct their CAD model to reflect hand-made modifications.

Local modification for CAD Correct using Redesign AssistantTM
Missing CAD design features which exist in an actual part due to manual tryout or hand-crafted processes can be easily and accurately redesigned directly on the original CAD data using 3D scan data of the actual part. Redesign Assistant allows a user to easily extract all key design parameters from 3D scan data to update and redesign the original CAD data
