Audience
Anyone seeking a reverse-engineering solution to optimize the interoperability between digitized polygonal models and CAD/CAM applications
About PolyWorks|Modeler
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.

ContextCapture
Create 3D models from simple photographs and/or point clouds. Reality modeling is the process of capturing the physical reality of an infrastructure asset, creating a representation of it, and maintaining it through continuous surveys. Bentley's reality modeling software, ContextCapture, provides you with real-world digital context in the form of a 3D reality mesh. A reality mesh is a 3D model of real-world conditions that contains large amounts of triangles and image data. Each digital component can be automatically recognized and/or geospatially referenced, providing you with an intuitive and immersive way to navigate, find, view, and query your asset information. You can use reality meshes in many engineering, maintenance, or GIS workflows to provide precise real-world digital context for design, construction, and operations decisions. Overlapping photos from drones and ground-level imagery, supplemented by laser scans where needed.

CMM-Manager
CMM-Manager was designed to deliver powerful measurement capability while maintaining a straightforward, user-friendly experience across virtually any CMM. Rather than limiting users to a specific platform, the software works with both new and existing CMM hardware. As a result, manufacturers can run inspections on vision systems, manual CMMs, portable devices, and multi-sensor CNC coordinate measuring machines using a single software environment.
Instead of investing in costly hardware upgrades, companies can simply integrate CMM-Manager directly with their current CMMs or metrology equipment. In other words, the software connects to existing machines without requiring additional hardware or specialized middleware.
CMM-Manager can breathe new life into older CMMs while also improving the user experience on modern machines by replacing complicated OEM software with a more intuitive interface. Because of this flexibility, shops can standardize their inspection workflow.
