Benefits
Neither Sub-D (Subdivision Surface) modeling nor NURBS modeling can effectively solve all 3-D design problems. Each has strengths and weaknesses. Sub-D modeling is great at producing and modifying complex freeform / organic shapes with smooth surfaces. NURBS modeling is good at combining shapes via. Boolean and Feature operations as well as refining shapes with operations like filleting, blending and face editing. We really see Power Surfacing as a novel and powerful unification piece between these two technologies. Being able to use both modeling paradigms together in the modeling process provides huge productivity advantages in both the design and revision process. With the ability to connect Power Surface Sub-D objects directly to existing SOLIDWORKS® objects and to update the Sub-D to correspond to history tree modifications. Power Surfacing essentially provides dimension driven Sub-D modeling. Power Surfacing freeform design combined with SOLIDWORKS® parametric design provides SOLIDWORKS® users with a ground breaking Industrial Design toolkit.

Power Surfacing RE (Reverse Engineering)
Power Surfacing RE (Reverse Engineering) is the solution you need to get your job done effectively and quickly. Our Power Surfacing RE product has a unique set of tools to allow you to rebuild shapes in SOLIDWORKS® from a large variety of polygonal meshes. It can import meshes from: 3D scanners, Finite Element Modeling, 3D sculpting programs, 3D printer files, other polygonal modeling tools, and online polygonal model databases. Power Surfacing RE has the ability to constrain to and reference underlying meshes to capture the original design shape. The Power Surfacing RE tools enable you to quickly define a Power Surface shape over the top of the referenced mesh. With the existing Power Surfacing tools you will be able to modify and evolve the design.
- Includes the full Power Surfacing Toolset
- Import meshes and display as a reference mesh
- Convert existing SOLIDWORKS® geometry into reference mesh
- Drawing tools with automatic face creation
- Constrain points to reference mesh
- Automatic retopologizing of enclosed areas
- Add geometry to cover holes while matching curvature in reference mesh
- Distance display to measure approximation of reference mesh
- Interpolate or "vacuum seal" to closely approximate the reference mesh shape
Cyborg3D MeshToCAD
Cyborg3D MeshToCAD standalone product is the tool for you! It is aggressively priced compared to other industry solutions and captures very fine details on the scanned/sculpted mesh. The work flow is highly automated and high quality meshes can often be processed in a matter of a few minutes. Scanned meshes are notorious for being difficult to use. But Cyborg3D has a unique set of tools to allow you to quickly repair meshes and even fill in missing areas of the mesh. We believe you will find our workflow for problem meshes is extremely efficient compared to other industry solutions. Our tools allow precise control of accuracy and surface breakdown. The resulting NURBS based boundary representations are very high quality (G2 along the edges) and can be exported to the standard CAD file formats(STEP, IGES, and SAT). Our optimized lightweight representation facilitates the ability to import and process even large, very complex geometry with extremely fine levels of detail.
Power NURBS Pro
Power NURBS unique hybrid approach fuses the next generation NURBS surface construction technology with the industry’s leading Solids Modeling technology bringing an unparalleled modeling experience to the 3ds Max Platform.
Power NURBS modeling environment is designed to provide artists intuitive access to complex advanced modeling tools allowing you to expand your creative potential beyond the polygon world.
Power Translators Universal
Power Translators Universal for 3ds Max is the optimal solution for design visualization of native CAD models and assemblies.

Power Translators for Maya
If you're one of the increasing number of designers and artists that are looking for a better way to get mechanical CAD design data into Maya, then your wait is over. nPower Software's Maya Power Translators give you the power to import IGES, STEP, SAT, Rhino models directly into Maya. Forget the Poly translated mesh importers of the past. nPower Software's advanced Maya Geometry pipeline supports the original CAD model's precision NURBS-based surface and solids geometry and topology allowing you to re-tessellate your mesh to whatever resolution you want on the fly. Have you tried importing CAD files with the existing importers in Maya and had a bad experience? Do you wish you could import larger models? Do you wish the surfaces were sewn together when you imported (instead of having multiple separate surfaces). Well, then find out what thousands of Max artists already know; Power Translators work.
