What QUICKSURFACE is
QUICKSURFACE is Windows desktop software for converting 3D scan data into editable, parametric CAD models for reverse engineering. It accepts STL, OBJ, and PLY meshes, along with PTX point clouds, and includes tools for mesh editing, geometry extraction, sketching, freeform surfacing, hybrid parametric modeling, and deviation analysis. QUICKSURFACE Pro exports reconstructed models in IGES or STEP for other CAD/CAM packages. The Lite edition includes mesh repair, scan alignment, feature extraction, fit surfaces, 2D and 3D sketching, and IGES/STEP export. Personal is for individual non-commercial use and supports STL export; STEP, IGES, and Parasolid exports are reserved for Pro. A SOLIDWORKS edition is an add-in that requires SOLIDWORKS Desktop 3D CAD. Pro and the SOLIDWORKS add-in have a 30-day free trial. Listed plans include Lite at €480 a year, Pro at €3,995 a year, and the SOLIDWORKS add-in at €1,100 a year. Personal costs €20 a month, paid annually. The stated minimum setup is a 64-bit Windows 10 PC, an Intel i5-equivalent CPU, 16 GB RAM, 256 GB HDD, and dedicated NVIDIA or AMD graphics.
