Geomagic Freeform
Precise. Organic. Designed.
Break free from the constraints of traditional CAD. Geomagic Freeform enables you to sculpt complex, organic designs with the tactile feel of clay and the precision of digital design, bringing your ideas from concept to reality without barriers.
Design with a Different Approach
Eliminate the boundaries between idea and creation. Geomagic Freeform offers a comprehensive set of 3D sculpting and design tools that, paired with a haptic (tactile) device, let you feel your design. You can sculpt, refine, and deform virtual clay models with a freedom and speed that traditional CAD simply cannot match.
Take your designs to the next level with Geomagic Freeform Plus, which expands these capabilities with advanced tools for manufacturing, including:
- Automatic conversion of clay and polygons to NURBS surfaces.
- Mold and tooling design.
- Draft analysis and parting line tools.
A Hybrid, Limitless Modeling System
Geomagic Freeform starts where traditional CAD software stops. This hybrid modeling system gives you the flexibility to work with different paradigms in a single environment:
- Clay (Voxels): For freeform sculpting and creating organic shapes.
- Surfaces (SubD): Create smooth surfaces and sharp edges with incredible control.
- NURBS and Solids: Model precise, dimensionally defined CAD shapes.
- Mesh (Polygons): Import, repair, and use scanned or other 3D source data.
Advanced Features for Innovation and Manufacturing
- Add Organic Designs to Your CAD Workflow Freeform seamlessly integrates into your design ecosystem. With robust interoperability, you can import and export 3D file formats like STL, OBJ, PLY, IGES, STEP, and additional CAD formats in the Plus version. Combine the precision of CAD with the expressiveness of sculpting.
- Add Intelligent Structures to Your Design (StructureFX™) The StructureFX™ toolset gives you the freedom to create complex lattices, custom patterns, and internal structures for lightweight, stunning designs. Ideal for creating custom medical implants, lightweight components, and other advanced functional designs.
- Ready for Instant 3D Printing Move from design to manufacturing seamlessly. Freeform’s analysis and repair tools ensure your models are topologically perfect and ready for 3D printing, eliminating the need for additional repair software.
- Photorealistic Rendering with KeyShot Impress your clients and team with high-definition renderings. KeyShot for 3D Systems is integrated to allow you to create stunning images of your designs quickly and easily.
