Geomagic Design X
The industry's most comprehensive reverse engineering software.
Overview
Geomagic Design X is a reverse engineering software that combines history-based CAD with 3D scan data processing. It allows users to create feature-based, editable solid models from 3D scans, which can then be used for a variety of downstream applications, including additive manufacturing. While not strictly an AM software, it is a critical tool in many AM workflows that involve existing parts.
✨ Key Features
- 3D scan data processing
- Feature-based reverse engineering
- Live transfer to CAD software
- Accuracy analysis
- Hybrid modeling (scan data and CAD)
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Combines scan data processing with history-based CAD modeling
- Live transfer of models to major CAD systems
- Comprehensive and user-friendly workflow for reverse engineering
Unique Value: Provides the fastest and most accurate way to go from 3D scan data to a feature-based, editable CAD model.
🎯 Use Cases (3)
✅ Best For
- Reverse engineering of automotive and aerospace components
- Creation of custom medical implants and prosthetics
