Following the forward engineering principle, you can realize huge time- and cost-savings. You can generate meshes directly on scanned data and CAD data from mixed sources. Additionally, our technology allows for making design changes directly on FE meshes. 

 

Our innovative solutions enable you to accomplish tasks once thought impossible.  

Materialise offers a complete solution for your projects. Our services also include:

 

  • The creation of precise digital replicas of your legacy parts through optical or technical CT scanning
  • The generation of CAD data of your optimized mesh data
  • Scan data to CAD file comparison
