Scan time: 30 min Modeling time: 2 hr Model accuracy:50 µ m total time: 2.5 hr accuracy: 50 µ m scan time: 1 hr redesign: 2 hr Scan time: 1 hr Modeling time: 2 hr Scan time: 1 hr Modeling time: 3 hr Scan time: 20 min Modeling time: 1 hr scan time: 1 hr redesign: 3 hr

Why is XOR important? 3D scanning objects and converting them into CAD models presents a great opportunity CAD software doesn’t handle 3D scan data  Requires unique data handling architecture + specialized tools Dedicated 3D scan-to-CAD software is needed  Existing offerings cannot make parametric CAD models rapidformXOR is the only way to effectively convert 3D scan data into parametric CAD models
