Simpleware NURBS Module

NURBS model inspection for errors in Simpleware NURBS

Generate NURBS models from 3D Images

Simpleware NURBS allows segmented 3D image data to be exported as Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) to CAD packages. By using powerful and automatic patch fitting and surface generation techniques, the NURBS module enables 3D image data to be easily converted into CAD models. Save time and benefit from high-quality model generation capabilities when exporting IGES files to CAD.

FAQs

1. What file formats can be the Simpleware NURBS module export?

IGES and STEP (NURBS patches)

2. Which CAD packages can use Simpleware NURBS models?

Any CAD package that can import IGES or STEP (which is almost all CAD packages)

3. Are there different NURBS fitting methods?

Yes we have two different NURBS patch fitting methods, each is better suited to specific situations.

4. Can I control the amount of surface detail that is included in my model?

Yes, you can change the surface fitting, specific or adaptive tolerancing. You can also view the control points used to fit the patches and change these as required.
