Specialized tools allow you to convert STL meshes from 3D scans into usable wireframes or solid models.

A guided wizard that identifies parting lines and automatically splits models into mold halves. Electrode Modeling:

It offers advanced tools for creating and manipulating complex surface geometry that might be difficult in standard parametric CAD Reverse Engineering:

By streamlining these preparatory steps, PowerShape reduced the time from "art to part" significantly, ensuring that the CAM programmer did not have to wrestle with flawed geometry.

Advanced freeform surface design tools allow for complex geometry creation, such as morph features and intricate blends, which are essential for high-aesthetic or highly functional products like shoe soles or dosing bottles. Typical Workflows Solved: Rendering in PowerSHAPE - Forums, Autodesk
