(Rapidform: Seoul, South Korea) -- INUS Technology, Inc. has begun shipping the latest version its reverse-engineering software, Rapidform XOR. It’s the only software that combines 3-D scan-data processing and parametric solid modeling so users can create intelligent CAD models from point clouds and polygon meshes. It’s also the only 3-D scanning software that creates native CAD models from scan data for SolidWorks, PTC Creo (Pro/E), Siemens NX, CATIA V4/V5, AutoCAD, and—new for 2012—Autodesk Inventor.

“Developing Rapidform from the user’s point of view, we have focused on three main themes: automation, performance, and superior user experience,” explains Calvin Hur, CEO of INUS Technology. “Simplification through automation makes it easier than ever to create feature-based CAD models from 3-D scans. This new version of Rapidform XOR can cut the time needed to reverse-engineer a scanned part by as much as half.”

Unlike other reverse engineering software, XOR makes real CAD features with parent-child relationships and design intent parameters. 3-D models created in XOR are higher quality, easier to transfer into CAD, and are more easily edited than surface-based models.
