Patchwork 3D
From a raw CAD model, Patchwork 3D Enterprise provides information about the final appearance of a product. This appearance can include materials, lightings, animations, a realistic environment or configurable options.
Patchwork Enterprise offers all the functionalities of a 3D prototyping software.
Based on the Enterprise edition, Patchwork 3D Essential gathers all the main functionalities developed for CG artists' specialized needs to create materials for example.
In addition to the features of Patchwork 3D Enterprise, Patchwork 3D Engineering offers the ability to integrate into an industrial process. Often associated with existing product lifecycle management (PLM) or interoperability with existing digital process steps, Lumiscaphe meets customer needs by providing integration and development solutions capable of using existing digital data and processes.
