EXModel Reverse Engineering Software
The Bridge between 3D Scanning and Manufacturing
Seamlessly integrated with Shining 3D's scanning software, EXModel allows one-click import of scan data while ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow.
Import scanned mesh
Import 3D mesh from any Shining3D scanner into EXModel
The mesh has to have topology so the format of the file should be OBJ, STL or PLY. The built-in polygon reduction function allows the user to use any size of mesh, and to reduce it with a suitable number of triangles without compromising the quality of the mesh.
Prepare Scan Wizard
Comprehensive mesh editing tools for reverse-engineering purposes
Designed to simplify scan data preparation for engineering workflows. Such tools include but are not limited to: polygon reduction, remove mesh outliers, defeature, hide/unhide selections, find and fill holes, make watertight/ unwatertight, and much more. Step-by-step workflow guides the user to setup the scan ready for remodeling.
Mesh Selection
Use the Interactive mesh selection Mesh Selection to mark the features.
Simple-to-use Mesh Selection tools of EXModel allows quickly extracting areas of interest, such as planes, cylinders, spheres, free form patches, revolved and extruded surfaces.
Create primitives
Extract features and create primitives.
Use the extracted features and quickly reconstruct planes, cylinders, cones, and spheres. You can establish relationships between them, such as perpendicularity, parallelism, and coincidence.
Align the mesh
Align mesh into the world coordinate system
Position the object into the world coordinate system using the extracted primitives. The interactive definition of the coordinate system allows the user to adjust the correct orientation of the object.
2D Sketching
Create 2D Sketches for Revolved and Extruded surfaces.
Interactive sectioning allows the user to extract reference points for 2D Sketching. Align the section plane to the extracted primitives, CAD faces or even create sections interactively on the screen. Use dimensions and constraints tools to create accurate sketches. Automatic sketching from the scan data is also available.
Trimming
Use Trim command to create connected surfaces as surfaces or solid bodies.
In ExModel Pro you can create surfaces or solids by using mutual trim operation or boolean operations on solids. The coloured display and diagnostic tools allow you to identify the issues while performing these operations.
Patterns
Build linear or circular patterns for repeated objects. Use also mirror object if needed.
To fulfil the requirements of precise 3D reverse engineering, generate repetitive patterns of objects by arranging them in linear or circular formations. When necessary, enhance symmetry by incorporating object mirroring.
Round edges
Create fillets or chamfers where needed.
The chamfer and fillet operations come with a real-time analyser. Simply drag the arrow to define the fillet radius on the screen and instantly observe the deviation of the fillets against the reference mesh—all in real-time.
Roll/ Unroll
Flatten and Reconstruct Curved Geometry with Precision
Designed to flatten or manipulate curved surfaces, this feature adds flexibility when working with complex geometries. The ability to unroll and roll back 2D sketches streamlines the workflow, making it especially effective for handling intricate shapes.
Export
Export the results to other packages for further use.
To finish you 3D Reverse engineering project export reconstructed surfaces or solid models for use in other packages using the industry standard format STEP or IGES.

3D scanners create “meshes” that are good for visualization and 3D printing but not for tasks like drawing or measuring. To use them for these tasks, you need to convert the mesh into a precise “CAD model.”- a parametric representation of the forming surfaces. Since meshes capture imperfections, tools like EXModel or EXModel Pro are needed to create a perfect CAD model.
Users say they began using EXModel effectively in less than a week and got familiar with the main functions in just a few hours. EXModel is equipped with easy-to-use, AI-driven tools for extracting features from your 3D scan, and a fast, intuitive user interface. The best way to start your training is with our detailed, step-by-step video tutorials:
