Freeform Organic Design Inside SOLIDWORKS

Power Surfacing

Stop fighting trimmed surfaces. Power Surfacing uses intuitive Sub-D technology to make complex freeform design as easy as modelling with clay - all within your native SOLIDWORKS environment.

Power Surfacing fundamentally changes how designers approach complex industrial and aesthetic forms in SOLIDWORKS.

Why Choose Power Surfacing?

Tool for Organic Modelling in SOLIDWORKS

True Freeform Design

Easily create complex, organic, and aesthetically pleasing shapes that are difficult or impossible using traditional NURBS surfacing methods.

Intuitive 'Push-Pull' Workflow

Manipulate the geometry by pushing and pulling on faces, edges, or vertices, similar to sculpting digital clay.

Automatic Class A Output

Automatically converts the flexible Sub-D geometry into a single, high-quality, continuous SOLIDWORKS native surface or solid body.

Dramatic Time Reduction

Significantly reduce the design time required for complex organic shapes and drastically simplify the time needed for design changes and edits.

Reverse Engineering (RE) Capability

Use the Power Surfacing RE module to easily and accurately convert imported scanned meshes or polygonal models into clean SOLIDWORKS surfaces.

Full Feature Tree Integration

The resulting geometry is a native SOLIDWORKS feature, allowing you to seamlessly apply downstream operations like filleting, shelling, cuts, and extrudes.

Sub-D Modelling Power

Power Surfacing leverages advanced Subdivision Surface (Sub-D) technology for maximum flexibility:

  • Primitive Shapes: Start quickly with built-in primitive shapes like Boxes, Cylinders, and Torus shapes.
  • Dynamic Editing Tools: Includes a full suite of modelling tools like Extrude, Inset, Bridge, Mirror, and Subdivide to build your geometry rapidly.
  • Import and Export: Import Sub-D meshes from other programs (OBJ or FBX formats) like Modo or 3ds Max, and export the final geometry as clean SOLIDWORKS solids.

Advanced Functionality

  • Power Surfacing RE: Simplify the process of converting complex scan data or polygonal models into usable, edit-friendly SOLIDWORKS CAD geometry.
  • SOLIDWORKS Compatibility: Works seamlessly with sketches and construction geometry within SOLIDWORKS to ensure the freeform surfaces connect perfectly to your prismatic engineering features.
