Power Sub D-NURBS for MODO

Prototype Virtually any Organic Surface

Power Sub D-NURBS for MODO bridges the gap between Subdivision Surface modeling and NURBS modeling, unifying free-form conceptual design with NURBS-based operations like filleting and blending.

---

Power Sub D-NURBS for MODO is a modo Plug-in that allows you to convert Subdivision Surface meshes created in modo into NURBS-based CAD formats and then export directly to standard CAD systems. This allows modo to be used as a flexible conceptual modeling tool at the initial stage of the design process, where modo's ability to quickly create organic shapes is especially useful.

With Power Sub D-NURBS for MODO you can freeform model a variety of design alternatives in modo and then transfer them to your CAD system (e.g. Rhino 3D) for further refinement and engineering. The combination of modo and the Power Sub D-NURBS for MODO Plug-in offers new conceptual modeling opportunities for designers in the automotive, aerospace, architectural, and consumer product goods industries.

• Quickly and accurately convert Sub-D models into a NURBS-based format that can easily interface with CAD systems and CAD modeling operations.
• Unite the diverse modeling paradigms of Sub-D (Subdivision Surface) modeling and CAD (NURBS-based) modeling.
• Combine the conceptual design process of Sub-D modeling with the engineering, analysis, and manufacturing design process of CAD operations.
• Add a new modifier (REMod) to the modifier stack. Apply this modifier to SubD models in order to convert them to a CAD compliant NURBS format.
• Convert virtually any Sub-D model (even SubD models that have some triangles) into a precise NURBS representation that can be read into virtually any CAD system.
• Create high quality surfaces, which accurately interpolate the vertices of the original Sub-D mesh.
