Study Finds Rapidform Is "The Only Viable Choice for Parametric Solid Modeling" from 3D Scans
INUS Technology, Inc has announced that a recent U.S. Air Force-funded study evaluating CAD and reverse engineering software concluded that Rapidform XOR stands alone in its ability to create parametric solid models from 3D scan data. The study was conducted by Dr. Kuang-Hua Chang of the University of Oklahoma and published in the journal CAD and Applications (www.cadanda.com). This study offers an unbiased, expert opinion that confirms Rapidform XOR is the only viable choice for creating parametric CAD models from 3D scans.
INUS Technology invented the concept of creating parametric CAD models directly from 3D scans with the release of Rapidform XOR in 2006, and XOR remains the product of choice for those serious about fast and accurate reverse engineering of physical parts. The U.S. Air Force frequently needs to regenerate designs of decades-old parts, and so commissioned the University of Oklahoma to study both 3D scanning software and hardware to determine the best available technology. INUS Technology had no knowledge of the study or its outcome until it was published in CAD and Applications.
Dr. Chang and his students surveyed the landscape of software available for converting 3D scans into parametric solid models usable in CAD, evaluated and then tested the front runners using practical examples. “We used five different examples in two rounds of testing,” said Dr. Chang. “The first round was surface modeling, and in the second round, we focused on parametric solid building.”
“We found that Rapidform is the only viable option that is able to support parametric modeling and transferring the solid model to CAD systems,” Dr. Chang continued. “When we say ‘viable option’, it’s based on two things. One is the time and effort, the other is the accuracy.” According to Chang, other software “was able to generate a parametric solid model, but it took a long time and the solid model created was not very accurate.”
“It’s very rewarding to see an unbiased study recognizing the value of Rapidform XOR compared to other 3D scanning software,” noted Calvin Hur, INUS Technology’s CEO. “Thousands of customers have already recognized that Rapidform XOR is the best choice for reverse engineering, but this is the first objective study that confirms which software is best-in-class. We encourage anyone considering 3D scanning technology to read this paper to make a well-educated decision on their reverse engineering software solution.”
The entire paper, including technical details of each tested software, is available for free download at www.rapidform.com/reverse-engineering-study.

Rapidform XOR3 Reverse Engineering Software Creates Native CAD Models for Five Major CAD Applications
Seoul, South Korea - INUS Technology Inc has announced that Rapidform XOR3 is directly compatible with five leading CAD software applications. Rapidform was the first 3D scanning software to feature direct interfaces to CAD, enabling users to scan any object, generate parametric, feature-based models in Rapidform, then transfer the complete model to their CAD software. And because the award-winning Rapidform XOR makes real solid models using industry-standard techniques, these models are easily editable, just like any part designed in modern CAD software.
With the release of Rapidform XOR3, users can open reverse engineered models as native geometry in:
• SolidWorks 2007-2010
• Siemens NX4-NX7
• Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0-5.0
• AutoCAD 2008-2010
• CATIA V4
Rapidform’s pioneering approach to direct 3D scan-to-CAD compatibility is named liveTransfer. With liveTransfer technology, Rapidform XOR communicates directly with compatible CAD products to transfer the model step-by-step. Rather than getting shapes that must then be assembled and edited in CAD, XOR yields a native, complete history tree. Users can take a 3D scan of any object, convert the scan into a real history-based design model in Rapidform XOR, and then transfer it to their CAD system as a native file, with the parametric features and the relationship of those features as described in the history tree. The result is a native CAD model that is fully editable. liveTransfer interfaces for SolidWorks, Siemens NX, Pro/E and AutoCAD are included in every license of Rapidform XOR3. XOR3 also saves models in CATIA V4’s native .model file format.
Unlike other 3D scanning software, Rapidform XOR does real reverse engineering, not just surface extraction. It has a full complement of solid and surface modeling tools to address every type of part and every kind of 3D scan data. The CAD models generated in Rapidform are real CAD models, not just “CAD-ready” surfaces.

INUS Releases Inspectworks 2.0 for SolidWorks Users
Seoul, South Korea: INUS Technology has announced the new release of Inspectworks 2.0, offering verification tools for the SolidWorks user. InspectWorks 2.0 is a major upgrade to the company’s SolidWorks plug-in based on Rapidform XOV. Design engineers use InspectWorks along with a 3D scanner to quickly investigate and verify that parts are manufactured to specification from SolidWorks.
Within minutes, anyone with SolidWorks and the InspectWorks Add-in can open a part file and a 3D scan of the object, and see where the part is in or out of tolerance via a deviation color map. If there are dimensions or tolerances defined for the part, InspectWorks also provides measurements and pass/fail results automatically. InspectWorks 2.0 now includes multi-core processor support on the current Windows operating systems (32 and 64 bit on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7). Enhancements to InspectWorks 2.0 include:
•Intelligent Best-fit where, rather than simply fitting the whole point cloud to the CAD model, the unique geometric features (e.g., plane, cylinder, etc.) are detected and used to perform alignment. This new technology succeeds where other metrology products fail with difficult alignments. For example, InspectWorks distinguishes small features like a small timing mark on a revolving part like a camshaft gear or blisk, and succeeds at finding a unique alignment solution.
• New GD&T measurements have been added to Inspectworks 2.0, including;
- Straightness
- Circularity
- Line profile
- Surface Profile
- Runout
• Report Editor, enabling the user to define information about the current inspection project, such as part name, part number, serial number, color of pass / fail, etc. Each parameter is reported in a format compliant with the enterprise’s standards.
InspectWorks 2.0 will be available in April from INUS Technology and its worldwide distributor network.

INUS Technology to Present Latest Releases at EuroMold 2008
Seoul, South Korea : INUS Technology, Inc.(www.rapidform.com), the developer of Rapidform® 3D scanning software, announced that it will demonstrate the latest innovations in 3D scanning software at EuroMold 2008 from December 3rd to 6th in Frankfurt/Main, Germany. In Hall 8 - Stand F11., INUS Technology continues its campaign to offer point processing with seamless CAD-compatibility. Just as Rapidform XOR provided users with native CAD models from scan data, INUS Technology will be highlighting XOV/Verifier™2, with seamless CAD compatibility for both CAD geometry and for Product Manufacturing Information(PMI). INUS Technology will also showcase the ongoing improvements to XOR/Redesign™2 and XOS/Scan™2.
Rapidform XOV/Verifier™2
INUS Technology will unveil the 1st release candidate version of CAD-friendly point cloud inspection software, Rapidform XOV/Verifier™2 at EuroMold 2008 for the first time. XOV2’s features complete fidelity with Siemens NX and with Pro/ENGINEER’s Wildfire. Calvin J. Hur, INUS Technology’s senior vice president of marketing & global sales, explains that “XOV’s CAD compatibility has been fully tested by several of our well-known and most demanding customers. SONY and LG have exercised the transfer of PMI and in particular the Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing(GD&T) annotations from CATIA, NX and Pro/ENGINEER, and verified that the fidelity of transfer exceeds the performance of the competitors.” To the user, this means that the designer’s intentions are seamlessly transferred from the CAD model into the inspection plan, avoiding the errors introduced by additional data entry and interpretation. According to Hur, “XOV2 offers a familiar CAD-like GUI, making it the easiest point cloud inspection software, and yet, XOV2 offers the most accurate and repeatable inspection results. Until XOV2, this unique blend of ease-of-use and performance has been unavailable to the market.”
Rapidform XOR/Redesign™2
XOR2 is building on its dominance as the preferred solution creating native CAD models from scan data. Hur said, “In the year since the last EuroMold, the marketplace has made XOR the standard for Reverse Engineering into CAD. Unlike second generation(2G) modelers that require a watertight mesh, then a NURBS surface model to get into CAD, XOR’s unique 3G process enables native CAD models to be created directly from the dense point data. XOR has been the principal engine for INUS Technology’s considerable 40% growth over the past 12 months.” XOR’s preeminence has been further confirmed by the customers who have abandoned their competitive 2G modelers, in favor of XOR’s CAD like operation. Hur continues “We’ve made the whole process even easier by offering automation. For example: our Loft Wizard™ that creates parametric lofted surfaces from freeform shapes. These CAD entities, like the reference geometry, primitives, the lofts, fillets, etc. are transferred step-by-step as native CAD models, complete with the full history tree. In less than 1/3rd the time, you have a native, editable, parametric model in Pro Engineer Wildfire, SolidWorks and into Siemens NX. That’s seamless CAD-Compatibility, and no other modeler can do that.”
Rapidform XOS/Scan™2
There is a class of customers whose scan data doesn’t need to be edited in CAD. Medical appliances and artistic scans generally don’t need to be represented as a parametric CAD model. For these customers, INUS Technology’s 2G modeler offers unprecedented ease of use. XOS2 employs extensive wizards to automate all the mesh modeling steps, yielding a watertight STL mesh. For the NURBS surfacing step, users can select between automated mesh generation or manual patch layout, or a combination of the two. For verbatim modeling, whether mesh or NURBS, XOS2 offers automation and a value point second to none.
Hur continued, “With Rapidform XOV2, XOR2 and XOS2, we provide an extensive list of new features and functions. XO2 also makes the three software packages independent, standalone applications.”
Hur notes the company will also be showing the 64-bit versions of XOS2 and XOR2 as well as Rapidform.dll, an SDK for third party scanning applications.
