NX Imageware 13.0

NX Imageware is a specialized reverse‑engineering and surface‑modeling application used to convert 3D scan data—such as point clouds and polygonal meshes—into precise, editable CAD geometry. It supports end‑to‑end workflows from scan cleanup to high‑quality NURBS surfacing, with tools to control continuity and validate accuracy. Common uses include digitizing legacy parts, styling and Class‑A surfacing, and preparing scan‑based models for downstream CAD/CAM in industries like automotive, aerospace, tool and die, and consumer products.

Key capabilities:

• Point‑cloud and mesh processing: registration/alignment, outlier removal, smoothing, hole filling, and decimation.
• Curve and surface creation: sectioning, feature line extraction, curve network generation, and surface fitting with continuity control (e.g., G0–G2/G3).
• Quality analysis: deviation/color maps against reference data, zebra/reflect‑line and curvature analyses to assess surface fairness and continuity.
• Workflow integration: supports import/export of common scan and CAD exchange formats (e.g., STL, OBJ, IGES, STEP) for use alongside broader CAD/CAM processes.
