XTract3D for SolidWorks
welcome to a better (and friendlier) way to reverse engineering

CAD Modeling is about to get a lot Simpler
Building parametric CAD models can be a complicated process, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Introducing XTract3D reverse engineering plug-in for SOLIDWORKS.
Key Features

XTract3D
XTract3D focuses on providing a basic yet powerful set of tools to manually extract features, sketch, and create CAD using the 3D scan data as a template for design. It’s a fool-proof way of doing reverse engineering from scan data.
-
Straightforward Workflow
With XTract3D for SOLIDWORKS, you can use existing parts as a reference for design that saves R&D cost and gets your products faster to market.
Import 3D scanner data and use it as a reference for building CAD models (SCAN-to-CAD). Simply trace right on top of 2D cross sections of 3D scan data to create parametric CAD models with ease.
-
Leverage Your Skills
Reverse engineering with XTract3D mirrors how you design a new CAD part. You don’t need to learn new tools and methodologies.
Creating a CAD model with XTract3D builds on what you already know about SOLIDWORKS, making you more productive.
-
It’s Simple and It Works
XTract3D provides a robust method for reverse engineering by giving you a basic toolset to solve a wide range of reverse engineering applications—from basic and complex parts, to prismatic and organic surfaces. The plug-in gives you total control over how you manually sketch features and elements.
-
Use High Resolution 3D Scans
XTract3D works well even when you are sketching features from 3D meshes with tens of millions of polygons with no lagging issues.
