Simpleware CAD Module
CAD Import and Integration with 3D Images
Simpleware CAD offers the import and interactive positioning of surface objects within 3D image data. The module combines the realistic details of 3D images with idealized design features of a CAD object, so you can interactively analyze scanned parts and compare with original CAD designs.
Applications include implant positioning for medical device research, evaluating interactions between anatomies and consumer products, and surface deviation analysis for CAD and image data comparisons.
Why use Simpleware CAD?
Simpleware CAD makes it straightforward to combine surface objects and 3D image data and provides powerful image and CAD tools.
- Fast and easy-to-use: Intuitive surface editing tools integrated seamlessly into core Simpleware ScanIP environment.
- Accurate and robust: Preserves design features of CAD objects.
- Powerful: ‘Checks surface errors and repairs poor-quality CAD and STL models.
- Flexible: Customizable user interface with 2D/3D views to work with surface and image objects together.
- Compatible: Direct import of most common CAD formats (STL, IGES, STEP…)
- Fully supported: All licences come with full support from our expert team of application engineers.

Combining CAD and 3D Image Data
Import Surface Data
- Import and natively work with CAD files in image space (STL, IGES, STEP…)
- Landmark registration tools for positioning CAD in image data
- Automatic registration with “Snap” tool for alike surfaces
- Automatic fixing of erroneous CAD data on import
- Preserve CAD feature edges when combined with image data
- Robust Boolean operations
Work with Surface Objects and Image Data
- Analyze surface deviation between CAD and image data
- Create surface object primitives
- Extrude selected triangles in a specified direction
- Hollow a surface object, creating an inner and outer surface
- Dilate triangles of a surface object inwards and outwards to create a tube
- Create surface objects from centerlines or centerline networks
