In addition to the standard EXModel package, Shining 3D also offers EXModel Pro, an integrated reverse engineering solution. The Pro version includes all the features of the standard version, plus additional tools to simplify the steps to transform meshes into professional-quality CAD solid models.

The difference between two versions is detailed in the following table:

Why choose EXModel?

The EXModel aims at accessible reverse engineering with top-quality results. That is why it will be a great acquisition for those who is looking for:

• affordable scan-to-CAD software;
• simplified scan-to-CAD process;
• intuitive user interface;
• short learning curve;
• comprehensive set of tools.

Workflows

The EXModel is a full-fledged reverse engineering solution that is aimed at facilitating and optimizing CAD modeling from 3D scanning to manufacturing. It is compatible with any 3D scanner that can export STL mesh data or PTX point clouds. Transfer captured data into standard IGES or STEP file formats or build fully parametric history tree directly into other CAD packages. Reconstruct your parts with quality and ease.

Key features 

The EXModel stands out against other reverse engineering software due to the following characteristics:

• intuitive toolbox and effortless interaction;
• seamless integration with EXScan — Shining 3D scanning software;
• single-click data meshing;
• long-range 3D scanners support;
• real-time deviation color maps;
• versatile scan-to-CAD editing;
• user-controllable accuracy, and more.

Capabilities

To achieve high-quality results and increased performance, the EXModel enables one to perform multiple tasks such as:

• accurate mesh editing;
• primitives extraction: the program quickly reconstructs planes, cylinders, cones, and spheres;
• constrained 2D sketching with interactive cutting capabilities;
• 3D sketching, including CAD surface manipulation, such as creation of filled surfaces;
• parametric, free-form, and hybrid modeling;
• automatic surfacing;
• working with large meshes.

Applications

The EXModel from Shining 3D is designed for all who need to do reverse engineering with 3D scan data. It will be great for entrepreneurs, small manufacturing companies, and large enterprises. This also includes industries where product design and 3D printing play a significant role such as:

• healthcare;
• dentistry;
• culture;
• manufacture;
• automotive;
• aerospace;
• fashion;
• design, etc.

Compatibility

The EXModel is compatible with any 3D scanner including Shining3D and ScanTech.

The software supports STL, OBJ, and PTX file formats. It can also export in IGES or STEP file formats for seamless integration with other CAD/CAM software packages as well as 3D printing or CNC machining.

The system requirements are as follows:

Price

The price of the Shining 3D EXModel reverse engineering software is $495.00, which is reasonable considering its multifunctionality and advanced features.
