Semi-automated Creation Using Wizards

The Mesh Prep and Surface Wizards guide you through the ScanTo3D process.

If you already have clean mesh data, use just the Surface Wizard to create a solid model. Use the Surface Wizard’s automatic creation for anatomical and organic shapes. Use guided creation for analytical faces. Use the Deviation Analysis tool to analyze and refine surfaces.

  1. Open the scan data (mesh or point cloud file).
  2. Prepare the mesh using the Mesh Prep Wizard to create a mesh feature.
  3. Use the Surface Wizard to create surfaces from the mesh feature using automatic or guided creation.
  4. Trim and knit the surfaces.
  5. Create the solid model.
