What is Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS? Imagine being able to capture anything in the physical world and have a digital solid model of it in minutes. Geomagic ® for SOLIDWORKS is a reverse engineering software toolset that plugs directly into your SOLIDWORKS environment, giving you advanced capabilities to make tools, point clouds, and polygons more usable in your design process. Geomagic® Studio is the complete toolbox for transforming 3D scanned data into highly accurate surface, polygon and native CAD models. A vital component in a range of manufacturing workflows, Geomagic Studio provides the industry's most powerful point cloud editing, mesh editing, and advanced surfacing functions in an intelligent, easy-to-use.

Geomagic (NC, USA), a software and services firm, released Geomagic Studio 9. This latest release of the digital reconstruction software features three areas of enhancement: 3D feature-based modelling, advanced colour texture generation and greater versatility with user-defined patch layouts.

Geomagic Studio automatically processes 3D scan data for applications ranging from reverse engineering to design and analysis. The software creates accurate models from physical parts, making it ideal for emerging applications such as mass production of customised devices, build-to-order manufacturing and digital asset archiving for automatic recreation of legacy parts.

For design and manufacturing engineers, medical modellers and historical preservationists, the new features provide unmatched automation through: 1) the auto-detection of 3D features; 2) a redesigned powerful macro system with the ability to add logic and flow control to automation scripts; and 3) a system that enables users to define their own workflow processes to reduce (or eliminate) time-intensive tasks. With a training time of only two days, Geomagic provides out-of-the-box productivity and allows for an open workflow for ease-of-use in automotive and aerospace applications, engineering analysis and cast and molding industries.

To enable design and manufacturing engineers to detect and extract the features of an object's fundamental design, the 3D Features enhancement optimises a model towards the intent. This function provides the ability to reconstruct 'perfect' geometry from real-world objects and scanned data. New features offer the flexibility of optimised manual creation and auto-detection of 3D features or geometric shapes.

For designers or other engineers requiring self-prescribed patch layouts, the Geomagic Studio 9 Draw Patches feature has leaped one step farther to make creating and editing patch layouts as easy as drawing curves. Meeting the needs of numerous applications for constructing NURBS surfaces, the new feature delivers this simple mechanism which provides continuous curves, straight-line drawing and refined boundary handling.

A significant addition to Studio 9 for artisans and historical preservationists, the Advanced Colour feature offers the capability to convert per-vertex colour models to new representations that use texture maps to retain the full colour resolution. An Image Projection feature completes the offering with the ability to match a 2D photograph of a model with the 3D scanned model, then builds a texture map from the alignment and projection of the digital photo on the scanned model.

Geomagic Studio Release 9 is offered in English, Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Spanish and Italian from Geomagic and its worldwide distributors.

Transform 3D Scan Data into Accurate Digital Models

Designed to handle the most demanding reverse engineering, product design and rapid prototyping challenges, Geomagic Studio transforms 3D scan data and polygon meshes into accurate 3D digital models. A perfect complement to the CAD, CAE and CAM tools you already own, Studio outputs industry standard formats including STL, IGES, STEP and native CAD files.

Comprehensive solution for creating as-built and as-designed models

Do you need to create optimized polygon meshes, watertight surfaces or CAD models from point cloud data? Are you looking to mix freeform and mechanical design? Do you want to create a parametric CAD model of a physical part? Perhaps you want to perform CFD and FEA analysis on as-built parts. Or maybe you want to create a digital archive. With Geomagic Studio, you can do it all.

Close the loop between the digital and physical world

Geomagic Studio gives you complete control over the surfacing process, enabling you to create watertight NURBS models that accurately represent your as-built parts. Automatic one-button surface creation is ideal for quickly creating models. For surfacing similar Objets, templates can be created to speed the process. In addition, Studio offers a comprehensive set of tools for refining patch layouts, comparing the polygon mesh with the surfaced model and more. Finished models can be exported to IGES or STEP.

Capture and reproduce design intent

With its built-in intelligence, Geomagic Studio can quickly extract design intent and create optimized CAD surfaces. Studio automatically identifies analytic surfaces such as planes, cylinders, cones and spheres. Plus it creates the most accurate swept and freeform CAD surfaces. To minimize downstream editing in CAD, constrained surface fitting lets you align surfaces precisely, while automatic surface extension and trimming lets you extend neighboring surfaces to create sharp edges. If you don’t need a fully editable model, automatic trimming and stitching lets you quickly create a watertight CAD-ready surface.

Leverage the physical Objets you already have

Why start with a blank screen when you can jumpstart your design process by scanning your clay model, organic Objet or existing physical part. Geomagic Studio supports all of the major 3D scanners, offering direct control via a plug-in for many of them. You can align, merge and register point cloud data. Plus, you can remove outliers and apply noise reduction to further optimize your data.

Create, refine and optimize polygon meshes

Geomagic Studio 2012

With the intuitive set of polygon editing tools including one button automatic mesh repair, interactive sandpaper, curvature sensitive smoothing and hole filling, you can produce high quality surface-ready polygon models even when you have less than perfect data. Smart decimation intelligently preserves the polygons in high curvature areas to create more efficient models for rapid manufacturing and 3D printing.

Geomagic Studio 13

A perfect extension to your existing CAD system

Geomagic Studio 2014

Parametric exchange provides an intelligent connection between Geomagic Studio and CAD, allowing you to bring truly parametric models into popular CAD systems, including SolidWorks®, Pro/ENGINEER® and Autodesk® Inventor™. By working in tandem with your CAD system, there’s no need to learn a new set of tools for trimming and stitching models or introduce different workflows that might affect your standard process.
