See how easy reverse engineering is with 3D scanning!
4 steps to success:
Use layers to split your model and extract the shape of one or more cross-sections of your choice.
Convert either a section or your entire object into a surface-ready model in CAD.
Fill holes, smooth areas, remove peaks, edit borders and much more! Make your scan as chic as possible.
Expand, offset, re-mesh, waterproof and transform your scan before moving on to the next step.
Easily send your created elements directly to your preferred CAD platform.
FUNCTIONS
Tools that make your work easier
Discover a variety of features developed by experts to improve your reverse engineering workflows.
Fill
Expand the captured area to fill in areas that you missed or could not capture the first time.
Smoothing
Remove unwanted dents or unevenness from your scan.
Elements
Customize the most useful geometric solids (such as planes, cylinders, spheres, etc.) to your mesh to use them in CAD projects.
Direct transfer to CAD
Transfer all the elements you have created from your scan directly into your preferred CAD software with just one click.
Merge
Combine several scans into a single object.
Decimate
Minimize the number of triangles that define your scan to keep your scan as light as possible.
Cross sections
Use layers to virtually cut your mesh and extract the curve of a specific cross-section.
Align
Position your scan correctly in the room for future use.
Coloring
Apply the captured color during scanning and create a clean, clear texture.
Surfaces
Select a section or the entire part and automatically customize a surface or use manual tools to define your surface exactly as you want it.

Do you have any questions? We have answers!
No. Peel 3.CAD is a 3D scanner package for reverse engineering applications. In addition to the peel 3 3D scanner, it includes the data acquisition software peel.OS and the bridge-to-CAD software peel.CAD. This software forms a bridge to a CAD module; it is the missing link you need to extract usable information from your scan and transfer it to CAD.
Bodies and generated surfaces can be exported in .stp, .igs, .csv and .dxf format.
peel.CAD is perfect for working with SolidWorks, Autodesk, Inventor and other common CAD platforms.
peel.CAD is available as a perpetual license (it basically works for life) or as an annual license (payment must be renewed every year). Software updates are available through a subscription to the V.I.peel service plan.
Targets are more of a supplement; the 3D scanner can use geometry and texture for positioning. Targets are highly recommended for flatter or smoother surfaces and when accuracy is important.
It will be love at first sight
