QUICKSURFACE is desktop reverse-engineering software for engineers, designers, manufacturers, and reverse-engineering professionals working with scanned parts. It imports STL, OBJ, and PLY meshes plus PTX point clouds, then supports cleanup, alignment, feature extraction, sketching, surfacing, modeling, deviation analysis, and CAD export. Its workflow is centered on turning scan data into editable models, with a separate SOLIDWORKS Desktop add-in for scan-to-CAD work inside SOLIDWORKS.

Pricing spans personal, commercial, integrated, and professional use. QUICKSURFACE Personal costs €20 per month when billed annually and allows personal, non-commercial use with STL export. QUICKSURFACE Lite costs €480 per year and adds STL, OBJ, and PLY import, mesh editing and repair, and IGES/STEP export. QUICKSURFACE for SOLIDWORKS costs €1,100 per year or €3,300 one-time, with a SOLIDWORKS Desktop add-in, large scan import, and real-time accuracy analysis. QUICKSURFACE Pro is listed at €1,700 per year, €3,995 per year, or €5,250 one-time, with advanced mesh editing, automatic segmentation, hybrid modeling, and IGES/STEP/Parasolid export. A 30-day free trial is available.

The standout strength is the depth of the scan-to-CAD workflow after data import. Tools cover mesh reduction, smoothing, hole filling, outlier removal, coordinate alignment, geometric primitives, constrained sketches, parametric and freeform modeling, automatic and manual surfacing, and solid operations such as trimming, Boolean operations, fillets, and chamfers. Real-time deviation analysis and color maps support accuracy review. QUICKSURFACE suits users who need reverse engineering and editable CAD outputs on Windows; those seeking a non-Windows platform or a broader focus on direct scanner capture should consider another option.
