Benefits

Geomagic Studio 2012 is the industry's easiest-to-use, most powerful and highest quality software for transforming 3D scan and probe data into usable polygon and parametric CAD data.

Intelligent, automated and flexible, Geomagic Studio delivers the best experience and the highest quality 3D data from scan data.

Immediately and rapidly create high quality 3D data from almost any source.

Increase productivity in design, manufacturing and repair workflows by quickly and accurately testing and redesigning existing parts and objects in 3D.

Access to a highly accurate 3D rendition of a physical object can reduce turnaround times for replacement parts by as much as 95%, and enable far more accurate manufacturing, resulting in reduced waste, saved time, and decreased costs. 3D data created using Geomagic Studio works directly inside FEA and CAD systems builds increased power for design, rapid prototyping, 3D printing, and analysis and testing of parts long before production, resulting in high quality parts at far lower costs.

Access the fastest path to CAD from point and polygon data.

Geomagic Studio empowers rapid design of new products, redesign and recreation of existing products and parts, by enabling engineers, innovators and product designers to almost instantaneously deliver usable NURBs-based CAD models into the major MCAD systems and export accurate polygon models for other uses. This enables designers to use the CAD and design system of their choice without restrictions and limitations on their preferred workflow.
