Surface combines fast, repeatable curve-based 
modeling tools with the ability to directly sculpt 3D 
models. 

Experiment with shapes at any stage of the design 
process. Quickly manipulate your model, exploring 
variations on 3D forms without rebuilding geometry, 
or make real-time modifications in design reviews. 
Shape objects dynamically with these powerful 
tools:

Lattice Rig—Sculpt geometry by manipulating a 

•

customizable lattice created around an object. 

Transformer Rig—Use curves and surfaces as 

•

controls to modify or constrain portions of 
existing geometry. 
Bend—Bend geometry using a curve to control 

•

deformation. 

Twist—Twist geometry around a single-axis curve. 

•

Conform—Conform geometry to the shape of 

•

another surface.

Build physical prototypes more efficiently from 
digital models. With rapid prototyping, you can 
develop and refine designs before committing 
to production. Print in 3D using STL output for 
stereolithography by exporting data to computer 
numerical control (CNC) machines. Alias Surface 
supports 3D printing in color.

 

Design Modeling

The concept 

development phase 

demands close 

collaboration between 

designers and engineers 

to produce concepts that 

are new, yet technically 

feasible. 

Take your 3D models to the next level. Evolve concepts 

through a creative, iterative process.
