Geomagic Design X
Industry-leading reverse engineering software – now open to everyone. Convert 3D scan data into feature-based, editable 3D models on any budget.
Digitize with one or several Artec handheld, tripod, or desktop 3D scanners.
Align, fuse, repair, and simplify scan data to make a detailed, export-ready mesh.
Extract features, add sections, and use auto-surfacing to craft an accurate CAD model.
Assess your model or progress to the next workflow stage.
Adopt the industry standard for scan-to-CAD
Rapid modeling wizards
Extract complex geometry in a couple of clicks and create sketches with full control over feature location, orientation, and balance of complexity vs. fitting accuracy.
Effortless integration
Easily integrate 3D scanning into CAD workflows with LiveTransfer: an advanced tool that ensures parametric models travel with their design histories intact.
Real-time analysis
Use an intuitive Accuracy Analyzer to compare CAD bodies, surfaces, or sketches to scan data in real time, uncover deviations, and ensure compliance.
Make gains with an all-in-one package
Use Artec 3D scanning and Geomagic Design X to rapidly, accurately reverse engineer for redesign, manufacturing, and more.
Scan prototypes, existing parts, or tooling to digitize product designs for iteration in a tenth of the time it would take to physically measure or create CAD models from scratch.
Correct design issues with actual part geometry captured using a 3D scanner to eliminate deviations, minimize costly production errors, and reduce tool iteration costs.
With Artec 3D scanning and Geomagic Design X, you can recreate even the most complex geometries and design parts that fit seamlessly into existing assemblies.
