What Actually Matters
Output Quality and Speed
Both platforms generate B-Rep geometry with STEP export. The difference is in the quality of the result and how long it takes to get there.
Generation Quality
Detailed, realistic geometry
Ragnar generates models with proper tire treads, hub detail, spoke geometry, and material separation. Not just outlines.
Generation Speed
16 min vs 30 min
Nearly 2x faster for a complex multi-part model. Less time waiting, more time designing.
