Autodesk Alias Surface 2012

Autodesk Alias Surface software, part of the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping, offers a full set of dynamic 3D modeling capabilities that enable virtual modelers to evolve concept models into high-quality production surfaces for consumer product design and Class-A surfaces for automotive design and styling. In addition, it facilitates the workflow between digital modeling and scanned physical prototypes, enabling designers to quickly handle large amounts of scan data more efficiently, accelerating development time and reducing rework. This complete set of tools for importing and configuring data from 3D scanners for visualization and reverse engineering includes cutting, smoothing, automatic hole filling, mesh reduction and evaluation.
