Geomagic Design X: Hassle-Free Reverse Engineering

Geomagic Design X

Scan, Repair, and Rebuild. All in One Environment

Geomagic Design X allows you to work directly with 3D scan files from virtually any device on the market. You can import data captured with scanners from brands like FARO, Hexagon, Scantech, or Artec 3D, or connect the equipment directly to the software for real-time capture and processing.

Once the data is imported, the system handles cleaning the point cloud, repairing the mesh, and generating precise surfaces. If you have ever tried to recreate a complex part by measuring by hand, you know the time it can take. With Design X, that work is reduced to minutes.

Design Faster and with Greater Precision

The software is designed to integrate seamlessly with the main CAD programs on the market. Thanks to LiveTransfer technology, you can send your model directly to SOLIDWORKS, Siemens NX, Solid Edge, Autodesk Inventor, or PTC Creo, preserving all design history and parametric features.

For example, if you are working on redesigning a plastic housing, you can scan the original part, generate the 3D model in Design X, and transfer it to SOLIDWORKS to modify thicknesses, add reinforcements, or perform structural simulations. The entire process can be completed in a single workday.

Reduce Development Time and Costs

Companies using Geomagic Design X typically report reductions of between 40% and 70% in product development times. This translates into fewer iterations, less material waste, and a faster transition from prototype to production.

Imagine having to manufacture a spare part for an old machine whose blueprint has been lost. With a 3D scanner and Geomagic Design X, you can reconstruct the component with complete fidelity and have its CAD version ready for 3D printing or CNC machining in a matter of hours.

Design What Was Previously Impossible

There are cases where conventional measurements simply don’t work. Think of a medical implant that must fit the patient’s body perfectly, or a handcrafted part with organic geometries. With Geomagic Design X, you can capture those complex shapes and transform them into exact CAD models, without the need to draw them from scratch.

This has made the software a key tool not only for the automotive and aerospace industries but also for sectors such as dentistry, jewelry, orthopedics, and heritage conservation.

Work with Confidence from Day One

The Design X interface is very similar to that of any traditional CAD software, so it does not require a steep learning curve. If you have already worked with tools like SolidWorks or Inventor, you will be able to adapt quickly.

Furthermore, the system includes automatic precision analysis tools that compare the reconstructed model with the original scan, ensuring that every detail matches reality.

Features that Make the Difference

• Direct integration with most 3D scanners on the market.
• Smooth processing of large datasets (meshes of millions of points).
• Automatic tools for mesh repair, smoothing, and wrapping.
• Creation of exact surfaces and solids from organic geometries.
• Export in more than 60 CAD and polygon formats (STL, STEP, IGES, OBJ, among others).
• Real-time precision analysis to ensure accurate results.
