Still full functional and can export normal file types.įor more prismatic mechanical parts RapidForm does a great job of extracting the features to create a solid model, but in many cases I can just use an OBJ mesh of the scan and create the solid in IronCAD by matching the parts up the the mesh just as easy. If you buy RapidForm outright it is something like $20K, but they have deals with some of the scanner manufacturers where you purchase it through them (if you own their scanner) and it only works with their native files and costs around $2500. You can make a solid in RapidForm and supposedly do everything else with it, but I have found it to be frustrating so I just use it for what it does best, extracting features and surfaces. Export to IronCAD to do solid modeling operations. Import surfaces and curves into Rhino and recreate model including desired freeform changesĤ. open scan file in RapidWorks(RapidForm bought through Nextengine) and extract surfaces and edge curvesģ. Scan the object in NextEngine ScanStudioĢ. I am using a much lower end scanner, the NextEngine HD, but my workflow for freeform surfaces has come down to this:ġ.
