The Problem We're Solving

3D scanning, photogrammetry, and mesh-based design tools generate billions of polygons, but CAD workflows demand NURBS surfaces and parametric geometry. Manual mesh-to-surface conversion is a critical bottleneck in product development pipelines—time-consuming, error-prone, and expensive.

MakeSurface applies computational geometry algorithms to intelligently reconstruct clean, manufacturable surfaces from arbitrary mesh data. Transform unstructured point clouds and polygon meshes into topology-aware CAD objects—ready for simulation, fabrication, and further design iteration.

Mesh Intelligence

Our technology analyzes incoming geometry to detect features, boundaries, and topology. We understand discontinuities, sharp edges, and surface intent—not just raw polygons.

Surface Reconstruction

We apply modern computational geometry techniques to fit NURBS surfaces, B-splines, and other CAD-native primitives. We preserve critical features while smoothing noise and manufacturing artifacts.

Why This Problem Matters

The digital-to-physical transition is accelerating. 3D scanning is cheaper and faster than ever. Mesh-based design tools are more powerful. But the CAD infrastructure that manufacturers depend on hasn't evolved at the same pace. Mesh-to-CAD conversion remains a critical bottleneck in manufacturing, product development, quality control, and time-to-market.
