Direct Scanner Control
Scan directly into Geomagic Control X, Geomagic Design X, Geomagic for SolidWorks and Geomagic Wrap.
Seamless Data Transfer
Transfer your data seamlessly with multiple 3D file export options and LiveTransfer™ of 3D parametric models with full design history directly to popular CAD software.
Real-Time Analysis
Use Accuracy Analyzer™—a real-time, patented analysis tool—to create the best results of a 3D feature model from 3D scan data within design tolerances.
Mesh Tools
Produce quality meshes in a single step. You can use the mesh models directly as input data in CAE and CAM software for reverse engineering or manufacturing.
Mesh Creation and Optimization Tools
Powerful mesh optimization tools create a mesh from 3D scan data and meet the specific requirements for CAE.
- Instant mesh optimization for direct use in additive manufacturing, CAM, and CAE
- Detail resolution controls (decimate and subdivide)
- Mesh smoothness controls (global and subdivide)
- Automatic re-meshing for CAE functional models
- Comprehensive, interactive tools for mesh region editing
- Advanced mesh modeling and optimization
Mesh Sketch Tools
Use automated curve layout tools for sketching curves on meshes including lofted slicing plans and extraction of sharp edges. Extract sectional polylines or silhouette polylines from a mesh or a point cloud and create 2D sketches such as lines, circles, arcs, and rectangles on extracted polylines.
Automatic Curve and Sketch Tools
Create a sketch profile based on section polylines with the Auto Sketch feature. It includes highly sophisticated curve and sketch tools to extract sketch profiles and feature curves from mesh automatically for comprehensive reverse modeling. You can use these curves to define surface boundaries.
Modelling Wizards
Use modeling wizards to extract geometric features from a polygonal mesh model. These wizards intelligently analyze and extract feature information such as feature profiles, axes, and paths and automatically create features from a mesh.
Redesign Assistant
Use the intelligent Redesign Assistant™ feature in the modeling and extracting design intent phases to extract design parameters and elements from 3D scan data. It helps you define feature shapes with accurate parameters and design elements easily. Use it to extract distance, radius, thickness, and draft angle from 3D scan data.
Unrolling, Rolling, Flattening, and Curling Tools
Simplify the modeling of complex, revolved designs. Create design-intent models from intricate parts that have shapes like non-constant helices or 3D profiles.
Auto Surfacing
Use the Auto Surfacing feature to fit surface patches onto a mesh and create a surface body with the click of a button. This is important to design a complex, freeform part; create model data for manufacturing a freeform shape; or analyze a geometric shape.
Selective Surfacing
Simplify the hybrid modeling process with the Selective Surfacing feature. It provides easy workflows to repatriate a generative mesh or 3D scan into CAD with intelligence for traditionally difficult parts with both organic and prismatic features—such as castings, medical implants, moldings, and topology-optimized designs.
New Feature Preview
Be the first to experience new features and share your feedback. If you have active software maintenance through the Geomagic Maintenance Program, you can preview and gain early access to upcoming new features and functionalities in Geomagic Design X.
Batch Process Macros
Use automated batch process macros for scan processing by node-based definition.
Point Cloud Processing Tools
Expertly handle massive mesh and point cloud data alignment, processing, and refining mesh construction with point cloud processing tools.
Reference Geometry Tools
Extract a reference plane, vector, coordinate system, polyline, or point with multiple combinations of input.
3D File Import
The first step of mesh modelling and reverse engineering is to import scan data. Import 3D files in standard mesh formats, various scan data formats from multiple scanner types and manufacturers, and from other Geomagic software applications. You can choose from over 60 file formats including polygons, point clouds, and CAD.
