IntegrityWare Releases SubD-NURBS Modeling Software

By DE Editors

IntegrityWare has released SubD-NURBS, which is designed to unitie the modeling paradigms of Sub-D (Sub Division Surface) modeling and CAD (NURBS-based) modeling. SubD-NURBS converts Sub-D models into a NURBS-based format that can interface with CAD systems or CAD applications.

SubD-NURBS supports a workflow where conceptual designs can be generated using Sub-D modeling operations to demonstrate the design concept. That design can then be modified with Boolean operations, 3D logos, fillets, shelling, or other advanced surface construction tools. The results can be analyzed or sent to rapid prototyping machines. Users can then go back and edit the original Sub-D model and propagate the CAD operations (Booleans, fillets, etc.) onto the modified version of the Sub-D conceptual design to facilitate quick design revisions.

SubD-NURBS can convert Sub-D models into NURBS representations that can be read into many CAD systems. It can even handle Sub-D models containing triangular polygons. It creates surfaces with a minimum of G2 continuity.

CAD systems can use SubD-NURBS to import 3D models from various Sub-D modeling tools.
