Geomagic Design X Benefits
Convert scan data to CAD
Geomagic Design X is purpose-built for converting 3D scan data into high-quality feature-based CAD models. It does what no other software can with its combination of automatic and guided solid model extraction, incredibly accurate exact surface fitting to organic 3D scans, mesh editing and point cloud processing. Now, you can scan virtually anything and create manufacturing-ready designs.
Works seamlessly with your existing CAD
Geomagic Design X connects directly to popular CAD software, including SOLIDWORKS®, Siemens NX®, Solid Edge, Autodesk Inventor® and PTC Creo®. Using unique LiveTransfer™ technology, Design X transfers complete models, including feature trees, so you can quickly create solid and surface models from 3D scans.
Broaden Your Design Capabilities
Instead of starting from a blank screen, start from data created by the real world. Geomagic Design X is the easiest way to create editable, feature-based CAD models from a 3D scanner and integrate them into your existing engineering design workflow.
Do the Impossible
Create models that cannot be designed without reverse engineering, customized parts that require a perfect fit with the human body. Create components that integrate perfectly with existing products. Recreate complex geometry that cannot be measured any other way.
Using Geomagic Design X with Artec 3D scanners
Paired with Artec industry-leading 3D scanning hardware and software, Geomagic Design X is the ultimate scan-to-CAD solution for progressive reverse engineering.
3-10x faster time to CAD
Reverse engineering can shave days or weeks off the time it takes to turn a product idea into a finished design. Using the combination of Artec 3D scanners and Design X software, scan prototypes, existing components, tooling, or similar objects to develop designs in a tenth of the time it would take to physically measure and create CAD models from scratch.
0.01 mm max. accuracy (no targets needed)
Create metrology-precision and bespoke products that cannot be designed without reverse engineering. Design components that seamlessly fit the existing products. With Artec scanners and Geomagic Design X, you can recreate complex geometries that would be impossible to measure without reverse engineering.
Up to 75% cost reduction
Save a lot of money and effort when modeling as-built and as-designed parts. Reduce tool iteration costs by correcting your CAD with actual part geometry captured with a 3D scanner, and eliminating part springback issues. Reduce the number of costly errors caused by mismatch of components.
Improve your CAD environment
Integrate 3D scanning into your usual design workflow to accomplish more, and work more efficiently. With native output to SOLIDWORKS®, Siemens NX®, SolidEdge®, Autodesk Inventor®, PTC Creo®, and Pro/ENGINEER®, Geomagic Design X and Artec 3D scanners support your complete design environment.
Expand your design capacities
Start with data generated in the real world rather than a blank screen. With a variety of Artec scanners, you can quickly create realistic and accurate 3D replicas of physical objects, and convert them into editable, feature-based CAD models in Geomagic Design X.
Make use of what you already have
Many designs are influenced and inspired by other designs. Easily scan and upload scan data into your CAD system to rebuild old parts to match current designs, produce drawings, and manufacture designs in no time.
