What is Backflip AI?
3D scans into parametric CAD models.
Who is Backflip AI best for?
Backflip AI is best for engineers and makers who rebuild scanned or photographed parts as editable CAD models.
Reverse engineering scanned parts
It turns STL, OBJ, GLB, GLTF or PLY scan meshes into parametric models with a feature tree and sketch constraints, instead of hours of rebuilding by hand.
Old drawing archives
Drawing to CAD reads the geometry and dimensions on an engineering drawing and rebuilds the part as an editable 3D model.
Quick models from phone photos
Photo to CAD rebuilds an object from a few photos and scales it from one dimension you know.
Autodesk Fusion users
It runs as a Fusion add-in as well as a web app, and hands back a native feature tree or a STEP file.
