Ansys SpaceClaim lets engineers easily leverage 3D modeling to explore ideas and solve problems. 3D models can be simplified for analysis in a fraction of the time it takes with traditional CAD. From reverse engineering to model prep for sheet metal manufacturing, easy-to-use SpaceClaim software streamlines the model creation process.

Let the power of SpaceClaim streamline workflows to reduce model pre-processing time from weeks or days to hours or minutes, all while eliminating the need to outsource CAD modifications. Whether you’re modifying existing geometry or creating simplified representations, SpaceClaim eliminates geometry bottlenecks to let engineers focus on physics.

Power, ease and flexibility combine to make SpaceClaim a reverse engineering tool that, regardless of scan integrity, can take any STL file and covert it to CAD format. Skin Surface offers a powerful method for autosurfacing solid geometry from prismatic or organic shapes, enabling you to reconstruct surface data around scans of complex shapes, including living organisms.

Design the way you think. SpaceClaim’s fully functioning CAD tool is powerful enough for rapid concept modeling but simple enough to create detailed parts, assemblies and drawings. A simple 2D-to-3D-geometry conversion tool streamlines the work process, using common workflows to generate 3D-ready data from a variety of file types. Let the software free you to focus on creativity, ideas and productivity.

The flexibility enjoyed in SpaceClaim reduces the challenges of prepping models for manufacturing. Open, edit and prepare parts from any CAD system while easily converting multiple file types into 3D data for next-step machining. The automated repair tools can turn corrupt or incomplete data into usable surfaces or solids, letting engineers focus on toolpath creation. SpaceClaim will automatically heal disjointed surfaces and repair holes and gaps.

SpaceClaim gives engineers the flexibility to work with any CAD data to create, edit and prepare models for high-precision sheet metal fabrication. No other tool is easier to use and does a better job editing geometry, cleaning up corrupt or difficult CAD data and delivering high-quality sheet metal functionality. You can automatically unfold virtually any sheet metal parts and export them while simultaneously viewing and editing folded and unfolded models.
