Once you have repaired the crack, you must verify the model's integrity before moving it into a CAD package like SOLIDWORKS or AutoCAD.
Official versions are available through the QUICKSURFACE website or authorized distributors: QUICKSURFACE for SOLIDWORKS quicksurface crack
Imagine scanning a cast metal bracket. The flange meets the rib at a sharp 90-degree interior corner. Due to line-of-sight limitations of the scanner, reflective surfaces, or thin geometry, the scanner may fail to capture the exact apex of that corner. The result? Two clean mesh surfaces (the flange and the rib) that approach each other but stop short, leaving a thin, jagged "crack" between them. Once you have repaired the crack, you must
For those looking for real-time demonstrations of these features, the QUICKSURFACE Instagram Due to line-of-sight limitations of the scanner, reflective
Using the Mesh Analysis tool, users generate a heatmap of edge validity. Cracks are classified as either:
In QUICKSURFACE, attempt to fit a surface to a patch that spans the suspected crack. If the resulting surface is wildly twisted or the command fails with a "Non-manifold geometry" error, you have a true crack.
