Coming soon · Fusion connector · Runs locally

From triangles to toolpaths.

Scan the part. Get an exact replica with its hardpoints as named parameters, plus the Fusion toolpaths to cut it. Unfacet runs on your machine, so your scans never leave it. Not on Fusion? Send us your scan.

Demo part: a Model 3 front knuckle. Left: the scan with exact bores and mounting faces fitted (Tier 1). Right: a development render of the exact replica (Tier 2, shipping Nov 19), one closed solid with those hardpoints built in.

How it works

  1. Grey scan mesh with detected flat faces highlighted in blue 1

    Scan

    Scan the part and open the STL with the Unfacet connector in Fusion. The engine runs on your machine; the scan never gets uploaded.

  2. Front view of the knuckle scan with fitted mounting faces 2

    Hardpoints

    Exact holes, bores and mounting faces come back as real geometry in Fusion, driven by named parameters like bearing_bore.

  3. Exact replica of the knuckle as one closed CAD solid 3

    Exact replica + toolpaths

    Get the actual part as one closed, valid solid that matches the scan, with the hardpoints exact and named. Then Fusion CAM toolpaths on that real shape, set up and ready for you to check and post.

Three tiers, honestly labelled

Available at launch

Tier 1 · Hardpoints

Exact holes, bores and mounting faces as named, editable parameters in Fusion. The part of the scan you actually design and cut against.

  • Bores, bolt holes, flat faces
  • Named parameters in Fusion
  • 13/13 holes, 10/10 faces on the demo
  • $39/month
Available at launch

Tier 2 · Exact replica

The actual part: one closed, valid solid matching the scan, with the hardpoints exact and named. Includes Tier 1.

  • A real solid, not a mesh
  • Hardpoints exact, as named parameters
  • $79/month
Beta

Tier 3 · Replica + toolpaths

The exact replica plus Fusion CAM setups on the actual part shape, ready for you to check and post. Includes Tiers 1 and 2.

  • Fusion CAM setups on the real shape
  • Simulated on the actual machine code
  • $149/month or $1,490/year
  • Founder: $299 for year one

The actual part, not a lookalike

Other scan-to-CAD tools rebuild a simplified feature model. Unfacet gives you the part you scanned: an exact replica, its hardpoints exact and named like bearing_bore, and the toolpaths to cut it. All of it runs on your machine.

Who it's for

  • Motorsport & restomod builders making uprights, brackets and mounts that bolt to existing hardpoints.
  • Job shops & machinists who get handed a worn part and asked to make another.
  • Fabricators building around parts nobody has drawings for.
  • Reverse-engineering shops that want design intent, not just a surface.
  • SPFX & prop shops whose rigs have to bolt onto scanned parts.
  • Shops on SolidWorks, Onshape or anything else: send us the scan (below).

Not on Fusion? Send us your scan

  • You send the STL
  • We run it
  • You get a STEP replica
  • + toolpaths
  • Any CAD that opens STEP

We run the part through Unfacet and send back a STEP of the exact replica you can open in SolidWorks, Onshape, Inventor, Rhino or anything that reads STEP, plus Fusion toolpaths to cut it. Founder price: $149 per part. Your upload is deleted after 30 days, and we don't train on your parts.

FAQ

What kinds of parts?

Mechanical parts with holes, bores and flat mounting faces: knuckles, uprights, brackets, housings, covers. Those are the features Unfacet fits exactly and turns into parameters. The demo is a scanned Model 3 front knuckle.

Which scanners and file formats work?

Any scanner or app that exports a mesh. Unfacet reads STL today (OBJ and 3MF are planned). We test with scans like those from Revopoint, Creality and EinScan units; cleaner, denser scans give better fits.

Which CAD does it work with?

At launch, Fusion, through the Unfacet connector: hardpoints arrive as named parameters, the replica as a solid, and toolpaths in the Manufacture workspace. On another CAD, use the "send us your scan" service and get a STEP back. Tell us your CAD when you sign up: those answers decide what we build next. A web version is planned for later.

Do I need Fusion? Which version?

For the connector, yes: a current Fusion install. Tier 3 toolpaths use Fusion's Manufacture workspace, so what you can post depends on your own Fusion plan. Without Fusion, send us the scan instead. We'll publish exact requirements before launch.

Mac or Windows?

The connector and its local engine come to Mac first, with Windows next. We'll publish exact requirements before launch.

Where do my scans go?

Nowhere. The engine runs on your machine, so your scans never leave it. If you use the send-us-your-scan service, your upload is deleted 30 days after it arrives. We don't train on your parts.

What will it cost? What is founder pricing?

Hardpoints: $39/month. Replica: $79/month. Replica + Toolpaths: $149/month or $1,490/year. Founder price: $299 for the first year of Replica + Toolpaths for the first 150 founders, with renewal locked at $990/year, refundable until the tier ships. Send-us-your-scan jobs: $149 per part at founder price. Pricing can still change before launch, and signing up takes no payment.

How accurate is it?

It can't be more accurate than your scan. Holes and faces are fitted to many scan points, so they're usually cleaner than the raw mesh, and each fit is checked against the scan. The replica is checked against the whole scan surface too. Always measure critical dimensions on the real part.

What about organic or sculpted shapes?

That's not what Unfacet is for. It's built and tested on mechanical parts; a sculpt or a freeform body has no holes or flat faces to turn into parameters.

When does it ship?

Planned for Nov 19. Hardpoints and Exact replica ship at launch; Replica + toolpaths ships as a beta. The early-access list hears first.
