XOR’s Boundary Fit Surfacing function helps you to easily create a surface body using boundary curves on the mesh, even if the mesh is a complex freeform shape.
This technical tip will help you understand how to create a high quality fitting surface.
Step 1: Mesh Optimization
To get a high quality fitting surface, you will first need [...]

In XOV, you can obtain several types of inspection results, such as deviation maps, section profiles, etc. during the inspection process. However, the results will be recorded as captured images. If, instead, you want to print out sections at their true scale, you can export them via the *.dxf file format.
Method:
First of all, you can [...]

When you import scan data, the data will be loading in the software, and a new Mesh Feature will be added in the Feature Tree. Sometimes, you can have additional items created after the Mesh Feature, but you will not be able to immediately be able to trim the mesh using these items. This is [...]

Using the Full-Face-Fillet command:
The “Full Face Fillet” option is used for rounding or capping ribs and other exterior part features. This option uses three adjacent face sets and allows the creation of fillet geometry which is difficult or impossible to create using traditional edge-based filleting method. The image below shows an example feature using Full [...]

Objective:
Region segmentation is a way to group set of poly-faces that belong to one feature. Regions assist in alignment of the mesh data to the global coordinate system and in the selection of a region of interest for extracting the design intent and converting it to a surface. This example in detail will give instructions [...]

Objective:
This is perfect example to explore the parametric modeling capabilities of XOR. This covers few basic concepts on how to convert a mesh into a feature based solid model. It includes sectioning the mesh by planar method, basic sketching, extruding up to a region, performing cut operations and finishing up the model with constant as [...]

Objective:
This example primarily focuses on how to autosurface a part. one of the quickest way to get NURBS from a mesh data. The airbag part is first aligned using interactive alignment method and then autosurfaced to get NURBS as displayed in the image above.

In this module, we create a CAD model of a plastic security camera housing from 3D scan data using XOR. The redesign techniques used assume we’re going to liveTransfer the model to SolidWorks. Incorporating various solid modeling techniques in XOR, we can RE the part in about 2.5 hours. This is a good exercise for practicing parametric modeling methods. This is a highly recommend tutorial for intermediate users.

Objective:
The objective of this tutorial is to learn various alignment techniques. This involves 2 data set that are used for understandingthe following
1. How to align a mesh to desired co-ordinate system using reference geometries
2. How to align a mesh to desired co-ordinate system using already segmented region groups
3. How to align a mesh to a [...]

Objective:
This tutorial will give a very detailed overview on the User Interface of Rapidform Software. It starts with basics on showing such how to pan, rotate and zoom a part, how to show and hide entities etc to advanced options such as dynamic draw. This is a very good start for any new user trying [...]
