Scanning Software: Rapidform XOS

Simple, Automated Mesh and NURBS Surface Models from 3D Scanners

With Rapidform XOS, you can process raw 3D scan data into high quality meshes and NURBS surface models. Automated wizard based tools step you through the optimization of point clouds or meshes from any 3D scanner. Once the scan data is optimized, you can export high quality meshes. Or you can use XOS's one button autosurfacing technology to make watertight NURBS surface models, which you can export as IGS or STP files.

Key features of Rapidform XOS:


• liveScan direct control
• Support for over 20 scan data formats
Triangulation, alignment & merging of multiple scan shots
• Hole filling, smoothing and optimization of meshes
• Texture & vertex color editing for color 3D scans
• Automatic NURBS surfacing
• NURBS curve modeling, including automatic feature line extraction
• Interactive NURBS surfacing, for specific surface layout using curves
• Support for Various Workflows
Rapidform XOS supports multiple methods to convert 3D scan data into the right format for downstream use.
Some common workflows that XOS supports are:
- 3D scan data - optimized polygon mesh - output to STL, OBJ, etc.
- 3D scan data - optimized polygon mesh - NURBS surfaces - output to IGS or STP
- 3D scan data - optimized polygon mesh - extract design intent elements
(revolve axes, pipe centerlines, extrusion vectors, etc.) - output to CAD as reference geometries.
