Skywalker X8. Watertight outer mold line from scan data
GeometryAI reconstructs a watertight outer mold line from a scanned Skywalker X8. The case focuses on the defects that prevent reliable surface meshing of scanned UAVs — open holes, disconnected panel gaps, and overlapping scan patches — and shows how each is resolved.
Where the scan breaks down. The scan contains holes, overlapping patches, and gaps between panels that must be resolved before a dependable surface mesh can be made.
Recovered from user intent. GeometryAI classifies design geometry and scan noise before reconstructing the requested outer mold line as a half-body domain.
Nose
The opening into the hollow interior is closed in the reconstructed surface mesh.
Sealed gaps
Panel boundaries are stitched into a continuous surface.
Overlapping patches
The flap-gap overlap is merged into one continuous surface.
A clean watertight surface mesh, ready for volume meshing and CFD.
