Benefits And Features
A full range of reverse engineering applications
Full CAD capability
REcreate is at its core a full CAD system, enabling users to create 3D models. It can also be easily converted to 2D drawings that are ready to use throughout manufacturing as needed. With REcreate, you can also ‘fill in the gaps’ to produce complete and accurate 3D CAD models from fragmented data.
The digital thread
REcreate enables teams across design, production, and inspection to share a single, consistent thread of data. REcreate connects CAD and CAM in the virtual environment to Manufacturing and Metrology in the physical environment, seamlessly connecting the digital thread throughout the manufacturing process.
Optimizing use
REcreate is easily configurable, enabling each user’s experience and workflow to be shaped according to their preferences and specific needs.
