Create polished visuals from SpaceClaim Engineer geometry repair and model-prep views.

SpaceClaim Engineer direct modeling and geometry preparation visualization
SpaceClaim Engineer is often used to create, import, repair, defeature, and simplify CAD geometry before simulation, manufacturing, reverse engineering, or 3D print prep. RENDERCAD fits after the geometry communicates the design intent: capture a clean viewport of the repaired part, fluid-domain extraction, simplified assembly, STL repair, fixture concept, or Workbench-ready .scdoc model, then generate a polished still with clearer material cues, lighting, shadows, and context for design reviews, analyst handoffs, proposal decks, documentation, or customer updates. It keeps SpaceClaim as the source for geometry decisions while giving non-CAD audiences a clearer image than the working viewport.
Open the SpaceClaim Engineer model or imported CAD file, use the Repair and Prepare tools as needed, hide construction clutter, choose a camera angle that shows the feature, assembly, or simplified simulation volume, and keep colors or section cuts that explain intent. Capture the viewport and upload the image to RENDERCAD to produce a presentation render for review packets, sales engineering, report visuals, or early marketing drafts. For repeat screenshot-to-render jobs, route implementation through /developers instead of embedding API details in page copy.

| Feature | RENDERCAD | SpaceClaim Engineer viewport workflow |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Generative AI | Desktop direct modeling viewport with local CAD display and downstream Ansys visualization workflows |
| Output | Images + Video | Viewports, screenshots, drawings, exported CAD or mesh files, and downstream simulation visuals |
| Resolution | HD / 4K | Dependent on viewport, screenshot, export, or downstream tool settings |
| Image Speed | ≈10 - 60 Seconds | Viewport previews are interactive; polished visual output depends on downstream rendering or presentation setup |
| Video Speed | ≈1 - 5 Minutes | Not a primary SpaceClaim Engineer workflow; motion or video output depends on downstream tools |
| Scene Set Up | Zero | Repair or simplify geometry, preserve colors and section cues, set the model orientation, then capture or hand off the view |
| Input | Screen Snip | SpaceClaim .scdoc geometry, imported CAD, mesh data, STL repairs, simplified assemblies, and prepared model views |
| Hardware | Cloud GPU | Installed SpaceClaim Engineer or compatible Ansys desktop workflow |
| Install | None | Local SpaceClaim installation and licensing required; Workbench handoff depends on the Ansys environment |
| Cost | from $20/mo | Commercial Ansys licensing varies by product bundle, region, and account type |

It seamlessly blends the boundaries between materials, avoiding the sharp, fake lines often seen in basic renders.
Your source files stay in your environment because RENDERCAD only needs the 2D image you upload. To generate renders, that image is transmitted to third-party AI compute providers. RENDERCAD does not use your images or outputs to train AI models or sell your content.
It gives you two tools in one: "Exact" for the engineers who need precision, and "Creative" for the marketers who need "Wow" factor.
No, image references and masks require Realistic mode. Fast mode is optimized for speed and doesn't support reference inputs. Switch to Realistic for full control.
Use the brush tool to paint the mask, adjusting the brush size for detail work. Use the eraser to clean up edges, and the clear button to start over if needed.
Create one master render, then use masking and reference swapping to generate variations - different colors, backgrounds, and contexts - from a single session.
Snap a picture using the RENDERCAD overlay. Select the "Realistic" engine, set Condition to "Clean," and prompt "Brushed Aluminum." The AI applies the texture orientation correctly to your geometry.
Prompt for "Night time," "Moonlight," and "Dark environment" to visualize your product in low-light conditions.
You can generate videos in 720p or 1080p, depending on your preference for speed vs quality.
With RENDERCAD, your GPU doesn't matter. Since the heavy lifting is done on our cloud, you can render 4K images on a basic laptop.
Yes, use the Render Studio web page to upload CAD screenshots, real photos, and hand drawings directly.
Prompt "Scuffed metal," "Industrial aesthetic," and "Warning labels."
