This is a big deal. When you can create editable models from a photo and do it quickly you have a powerful tool.

A few years ago there was something similar to this in process for one of the big engineering softwares. I can't remember if it was UGNX or one of the other big 5.

The quicker that you can model a proposed concept and then go on to make a rapid prototype to put that concept in a real world model into someone's hands, the better you will be*. This 3-sweep software also specifically describes itself as able to create editable models. This is another important detail. It also seems so simple that ( not to be unkind here but ) the marketing people could easily use it and dial in exactly what the customer or research group would most benefit from. That would save much design time*.

Another factor in using this would be the cost of a license. It seems reasonable with the huge savings in time and therefore money in salaries, that the software would be expensive. Or at least it should be since it's most likely going to shave a significant amount of cash from your expense column.

And, I agree, it's very cool.


* - true only if your customer or market research group truly know what they want.
