Fully automated reverse engineering for 3D scans

Your scans.
Print-ready.

Aftermath Premium automates reverse engineering. Feed it a raw scan straight off the scanner and it reconstructs a clean, manufacture-ready model. No CAD work. No manual cleanup. No reverse-engineering service required.

What it does

Everything between your
scanner and your printer

Raw scanner output is never manufacture-ready. Aftermath Premium reverse-engineers it into a clean model automatically — no mesh editing skills required.

Automated Reverse Engineering
Holes, broken edges, stray fragments and flipped faces are found and fixed automatically. Surfaces the scanner never saw, like the base a part sat on, are completed the way an engineer would model them.
Smart Object Classification
The engine automatically identifies whether your scan is organic or mechanical and chooses how to rebuild it accordingly.
Meshes and Point Clouds
Raw point clouds (ASC, XYZ, PTS, PCD, PTX) are rebuilt into a surface first. Meshes (STL, OBJ, PLY) go straight into the pipeline.
Reference Photo Checking
Add a few photos of the real part. The engine compares its model against them and uses them to decide what belongs where the scanner missed.
Run Report
Every run comes with a report: holes sealed, fragments removed, face counts before and after, and any region it couldn't resolve.
Your Geometry, Kept
Scanned surfaces stay where the scanner put them. Noise and defects are corrected, and new surface is only added where data is missing.
How it works

From scan to STL
in three steps

1
Upload your scan
Drop in a mesh or a raw point cloud: STL, OBJ, PLY, ASC, XYZ, PTS, PCD or PTX. Add a few photos of the part if you have them.
2
Engine processes
Aftermath autonomously classifies and reconstructs the mesh. Complex geometry can take a few minutes to process. Progress is shown in real time.

Download & print
A clean, watertight STL, ready for your slicer or CAD software.

What to expect. The result can only be as good as the scan you start with. A clean, complete scan comes back close to the real part. Where the scanner missed a lot, the engine completes the shape sensibly, but it can't recover detail that was never captured. Reference photos help most there. As with any reverse-engineered part, check it before it goes into production.

FAQ

Common questions

Meshes in STL, OBJ or PLY, and raw point clouds in ASC, XYZ, PTS, PCD or PTX. The output is a watertight STL for any slicer, CAD or CAM software.
Your scan and photos are uploaded to our servers to be processed. To check the model, your photos and pictures of your scan are analysed by a service provider we use for image analysis (listed in our Terms). Uploaded files are deleted as soon as processing ends. Your finished model is kept for up to 2 hours so you can download it, then deleted. We don't use your scans for anything else.
Each file you process counts as one scan once it finishes, whatever its size. A run that fails doesn't count, and sample scans never count. Processing the same file again counts again.
It depends on the scan. A clean, complete scan comes back close to the real part. Where the scanner missed surfaces, the engine completes them the way an engineer would, but it can't recover detail that was never captured. Reference photos help most in those spots. Try the free sample scans, or your one free scan, to see what to expect from your own scanner.
