SurfaceWorks by AeroHydro is a freeform surface modeling software designed to integrate with SOLIDWORKS, enhancing it with robust surface editing capabilities ideal for industrial design. It enables associative modeling, allowing modifications in SOLIDWORKS sketches to automatically update dependent SurfaceWorks surfaces and vice versa. This bi-directional associativity supports complex designs where relationships among points, curves, and surfaces are maintained, allowing for seamless adjustments throughout the design process. Originally developed for marine design, SurfaceWorks is now utilized across various industries, including aeronautics and medical devices​.

PolyWorks|Modeler™ is a comprehensive reverse-engineering software solution that allows extracting optimal CAD entities, curves, surfaces, parametric sketches, and prismatic features, from polygonal models of digitized parts to serve as the starting point in your professional CAD modeling solution. The first step in a reverse-engineering workflow consists in transforming digitized point clouds into surface-based polygonal models, also called meshes. Polygonal models are more compact, more accurate, and less noisy than raw point clouds and are directly handled by industrial applications such as milling, 3D printing, and aerodynamic simulation. Adopt effective scanning methods that ensure quality and precision with real-time quality meshing technology. Fill holes, smooth and rebuild surfaces, clean boundaries, recover sharp edges, make surfaces watertight, and more. Extrude boundaries, offset surfaces, reconstruct fillets, perform Boolean operations with CAD models, and more.
