Polyga XTract3D Solidworks
XTract3D builds on the user’s existing knowledge without having to learn completely new tools and methodologies, while working seamlessly with SOLIDWORKS to enhance its sketching tools.
Software specialist, Polyga Inc has announced the launch of XTract3D, an add-in capability for the SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD programme.
Polyga’s toolbar works natively inside SOLIDWORKS, giving users effective slicing, fitting and analysis abilities to use 3D scan data to create editable solids and surfaces for feature-based modelling. The Canadian company believes its XTract3D add-in simplifies the scan-to-CAD process.
Thomas Tong, the President of Polyga Inc., said the product hands back control to the user, while being simple and easy-to-use.
“We believe tools with fewer features, executed exceptionally well, create the best experience,” said Tong. “When creating XTract3D, we examined the entire reverse engineering workflow and reduced it down to its purest form. We designed XTract3D alongside professionals who work on these types of projects every day to gain insights into their challenges and to figure out the best way to solve them. In the end, we created a reverse engineering solution that’s easy to use while giving users complete control as to how they want to sketch CAD models using 3D scan data as a reference.”

"We created a reverse engineering solution that’s easy to use while giving users complete control as to how they want to sketch CAD models using 3D scan data as a reference."
With 3.2 million users worldwide, SOLIDWORKS is one of the most popular CAD modelling software programmes. XTract3D complements the software, helping designers and engineers shorten their product design cycle, by having all the tools for CAD modelling in one place.
Polyga say creating a CAD model with XTract3D mirrors how a new CAD part is naturally designed from scratch. XTract3D builds on the user’s existing knowledge without having to learn completely new tools and methodologies, while working seamlessly with SOLIDWORKS to enhance its sketching tools.
Made specifically to handle a wide range of reverse engineering and design applications, from simple 2D sketches to complex 3D surfaces, XTract3D can build solid features quickly. With support for both part and assembly mode, there is freedom to integrate mesh data into the design process in different ways. Users have the choice between reverse engineering the entire scanned part or only using scan data as a reference for building new parts.
XTract3D is now available for purchase as a single user license or rent the add-in for 30 days for short-term projects.
