What your design team actually checks
What your design team actually checks
An editable, manufacturable model
EXModel produces a real CAD solid — feature-based and, in Pro, parametric — not a frozen mesh. That means the rebuilt part is editable and exports to STEP and IGES for CNC, tooling, or 3D printing, ready to manufacture rather than just visualize.

About this product
SHINING3D EXModel is scan-to-CAD reverse-engineering software that turns a 3D-scan mesh into a professional, production-ready CAD solid model in a few steps. One-click import from Shining 3D scanners removes the export/import juggling, and finished models export to IGES, STEP, and DXF for CAD/CAM, CNC, or 3D printing.
Why engineers choose EXModel
A direct path from a physical part to an editable, manufacturable CAD model.
Mesh to CAD solid, fast
Turn a scan mesh into a professional CAD solid in a few steps, including one-click auto-surfacing for organic shapes — no need to rebuild a part by hand from scratch.
Feature-based & hybrid modeling
Build with extrude, revolve, loft, sweep, and helix, or blend free-form and prismatic geometry in hybrid modeling — and revisit modifications, so the model stays editable.
One-click scan import
Seamless integration with Shining 3D scanners imports scan data directly, so you move from capture to modeling without exporting and re-importing between separate tools.
Export to CAD/CAM & print
Output IGES and STEP (parametric in Pro) plus DXF for downstream CAD/CAM, CNC machining, or 3D printing — the model drops straight into your existing pipeline.
How Additive Plus delivers EXModel
Licensed, set up, and supported for your reverse-engineering workflow.
Step 01
License & install
We match Lite or Pro to your work and get the software licensed and installed, with the 30-day trial available so you can evaluate first.
Step 02
Train & workflow
Onboarding on the scan-to-CAD workflow, auto-surfacing, and export into your CAD/CAM — so your team is rebuilding parts productively from the start.
Step 03
Support that answers
Questions on a tricky surface or a specific modeling step go to engineers who run this software. Sub-4h reply, NDA standard.
From Scan to Solid Model
EXModel guides a scan mesh through cleanup and modeling into a finished CAD solid. Mesh-editing tools handle hole filling, smoothing, and boundary editing, then one-click auto-surfacing wraps organic shapes and feature-based tools rebuild prismatic geometry. Because the result is a proper CAD model rather than a frozen mesh, it is editable and ready to manufacture. See the full feature list below.
EXModel Lite vs EXModel Pro
EXModel comes in two editions. EXModel Lite covers core modeling and exports IGES and DXF — a solid entry point for straightforward reverse engineering. EXModel Pro adds the full toolset, including parametric STEP export, hybrid modeling, constraints, and advanced filleting for professional, production-quality solids. A 30-day free trial lets you evaluate, with 15 days of Pro features included, so you can confirm the right edition before you license.

Common questions
Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA standard, typical reply within 4 hours.
What is EXModel and what does it do?
EXModel is Shining 3D's scan-to-CAD reverse-engineering software. It takes a 3D-scan mesh and, through mesh cleanup, auto-surfacing, and feature-based modeling, produces a professional CAD solid model in a few steps. The result exports to IGES, STEP, and DXF, so a physical part scanned on a Shining 3D scanner becomes an editable, manufacturable CAD file for CAD/CAM, CNC, or 3D printing.
What is the difference between EXModel Lite and Pro?
EXModel Lite covers core reverse-engineering and exports IGES and DXF, a good fit for straightforward parts. EXModel Pro adds the full toolset — parametric STEP export, hybrid modeling, constraints, and advanced filleting — for professional, production-quality solids. Both share the same scan-to-CAD workflow. We help you pick based on the parts you rebuild and the CAD you export to.
What file formats does EXModel export?
EXModel Lite exports IGES and DXF. EXModel Pro adds parametric STEP export. Those formats import into standard CAD/CAM packages and drive CNC machining or 3D printing directly. Because Pro produces a parametric solid, the exported STEP model stays editable in your downstream CAD, rather than arriving as a static surface set.
Which scanners does EXModel work with?
EXModel integrates seamlessly with Shining 3D scanners, importing scan data with one click so you skip the export/import step between separate tools. That includes the EinScan, FreeScan, and OptimScan lines. If you scan on a Shining 3D device, the mesh flows straight into EXModel for modeling; we can confirm the workflow for your specific scanner.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. EXModel offers a 30-day free trial, which includes 15 days of Pro features so you can evaluate the full toolset. That lets you confirm the software fits your reverse-engineering workflow and choose between Lite and Pro before you license. We can set up the trial and walk you through a sample scan-to-CAD job on your own parts.
What modeling tools does EXModel include?
EXModel includes mesh editing (hole filling, smoothing, boundary editing), one-click auto-surfacing for organic shapes, and feature-based modeling with extrude, revolve, loft, sweep, and helix. EXModel Pro adds hybrid modeling that blends free-form and prismatic geometry, plus constraints and advanced filleting. Modifications can be revisited, so the model stays editable through the process.
How is EXModel licensed, and what OS does it need?
EXModel runs on Windows and is licensed by edition — Lite or Pro — with subscription and perpetual options and multi-seat licensing for teams. We match the edition and license type to your workload and provide a quote. Contact us and we will recommend the right configuration and set up the trial so you can evaluate before committing.
