Thicken
Turns an open scan into a closed solid of a set wall thickness, offsetting along smoothed normals so the scan's detail is kept.
- Centered, outward or inward
- Cut-away lens preview
- Self-intersections merged
FEATURES · ALPHA BUILD
Modify, select, reverse engineer, inspect and repair, in one desktop app. This is what's in the alpha today, taken straight from the build.
01 · MODIFY
Every modify tool previews first, works on the part you have selected, and applies as one undoable step. The heavy ones run on every core and give the same result on any machine.
Turns an open scan into a closed solid of a set wall thickness, offsetting along smoothed normals so the scan's detail is kept.
Builds a closed, manifold envelope around imperfect or open geometry. The original mesh stays; Wrap adds a new body beside it.
Lowers the triangle count to a target, keeping open and sharp edges exactly on their lines.
Rebuilds the mesh with even, near-equilateral triangles, or cleans it up step by step.
Keeps the part of a mesh on one side of a plane.
Subtracts a tool volume from a part.
02 · SELECT
Select first, then run a command. One selection is shared by Repair, Rapid Surface, Fit and the modify tools.
Pick exactly the region you mean on the current part.
One click grows a selection across a flat face or a smooth region, within a tolerance you set.
Replaces a staircase outline with a smooth curve by cutting the mesh along it, ready to delete, separate or surface.
03 · REVERSE ENGINEER
Fit real geometry to the mesh, check how close it is, and export STEP. Surfaces are added to the part, so the scan stays alongside for comparison.
Fits NURBS faces to the whole mesh or a selected area and adds them as a surface body on the part.
Best-fit planes and cylinders from brushed mesh samples or an imported point cloud. Accept creates a new part you can measure and section.
Open STEP assemblies as a part tree with each solid on its own, and export fitted surfaces back to STEP.
04 · INSPECT
Measurements and analyses live under each part in the tree, can be renamed, hidden and undone, and save with the project.
A false-color deviation map between any two meshes or surfaces, with a legend and summary statistics.
Measures on meshes and exact surfaces. Every completed measurement is kept under the part.
A plane through the part with the exact section curves of the STEP surfaces and a live cut-away view.
Color-map triangle quality, or get a counts-only health report of everything wrong with a mesh.
05 · REPAIR
Imported meshes often arrive with problems. Repair finds them, shows each one on the model and clears them before you start work.
Diagnoses the mesh, lists each kind of problem with a count, and fixes them one at a time or all at once with Auto-fix.
Pick a hole, optionally grow the rim back to cut away ragged edges, and fill it with a live preview.
Open and non-manifold edges are always drawn, and the backs of triangles are tinted so flipped or open areas stand out.
FILES AND PLATFORMS
A native desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux. Work in millimeters or inches, undo every change, and save projects with their analyses and measurements.
