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, Unfacet Web (coming soon) will take your scan and return a STEP. Tell us your CAD when you sign up: those answers decide what we build next. A web version is planned for later.At launch, Fusion, through the Unfacet connector. On any other CAD, Unfacet Web (coming soon) returns a STEP. Tell us your CAD when you sign up.

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, Unfacet Web (coming soon) is the route: upload your scan, get CAD back. 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. Unfacet Web, when it launches, is the one exception: you upload the scan yourself, and it's deleted 30 days after upload. We don't train on your parts.

What will it cost? What is founder pricing?

Three plans. Hardpoints: $39/month or $390/year. Replica: $79/month or $790/year. Replica + Toolpaths: $149/month or $990/year. Founder pre-order: the first 150 founders pay $299 for year one of Replica + Toolpaths, then renewal is locked at $690/year, refundable until the tier ships. Want to see it on your own part first?

Trial: 14 days, 3 jobs, no card. Unfacet Web: $149 per part, founder price. 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. On the demo knuckle, all 13 bores and 10 mounting faces were recovered. The replica is checked against the whole scan surface too; on the current development build, holes and flats sit within 0.17–0.18 mm of the scan, and that figure is not final. Always measure critical dimensions on the real part.No more accurate than your scan. Each fit is checked against it; all 13 bores and 10 faces were recovered on the demo. Development replica: holes and flats within 0.17–0.18 mm, not final. 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.
