3D Sculptor

Create organic shapes and complex surfaces easily with a cloud-based subdivision (Sub-D) modeling solution.

Share. Collaborate. Innovate.

This Sub-D modeling solution runs on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and works seamlessly with SOLIDWORKS. Easily and quickly create, review, and evaluate organic and ergonomic shapes with 3D Sculptor (which includes the xShape app).

Collaborate without friction and use solutions that work together seamlessly on the platform to design, simulate and manufacture your products and manage your product data and lifecycle.

Example of subdivision (Sub-D) modeling
Explore Complex Shapes with Sub-D Modeling
  • Create complex surfaces quickly using intuitive push-pull interaction to shape your design.
  • Use images and sketches as templates to create 3D surface geometry.
  • Automatically convert subdivision surfaces to geometry when finished.

Streamline Your Design Workflow

  • Enable industrial designers and mechanical engineers to collaborate on the same model more closely than ever.
  • Iterate on designs faster by eliminating the need for data conversion between industrial design and mechanical design tools.
  • Reduce your reliance on standalone tools with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, which offers a suite of solutions working together seamlessly in the cloud.
