Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS
Training in Canada

A 2-day, hands-on scan-to-CAD course delivered at your facility, anywhere in Canada. Your SOLIDWORKS users learn to turn scans of your own parts into feature-based models.

Who It's For

Built for SOLIDWORKS Teams

Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS training suits teams that already model in SOLIDWORKS and want scan data in the same environment.

SOLIDWORKS Designers

Add scan-to-CAD to the tool you already know, without learning a second CAD environment.

Product and Tooling Engineers

Rebuild legacy parts, worn moulds and fixtures that have no drawings, straight into your feature tree.

Retrofit and Aftermarket Teams

Design new parts and accessories around scanned mating parts so they fit the first time.

Engineering
Managers

Give your SOLIDWORKS team a repeatable scan-to-part process instead of one-off workarounds.

Course Outline

What You'll Learn, Day by Day

Two days that take your SOLIDWORKS users from raw scan to finished, feature-based part, ending with a workshop on your own parts. The detailed agenda is available on request.

Day 1

Scan to Clean Mesh

Day 1 brings your scan data into SOLIDWORKS and turns it into a clean, aligned mesh, ready for modelling.

  • Find your way around the Geomagic tools inside SOLIDWORKS: the ribbon, settings and display
  • Import meshes and point clouds, or scan directly into SOLIDWORKS with a connected scanner
  • Align scans with picked points, then optimize the fit
  • Process point clouds: reduce noise, then wrap the points into a mesh
  • Prepare meshes for modelling: merge scans, fill holes, simplify, smooth and remesh
Day 2

Mesh to SOLIDWORKS Model

Day 2 turns the mesh into native SOLIDWORKS parts, from quick auto surfaces to feature-based models you can edit.

  • Split scans into regions and set reference geometry and mesh orientation
  • Convert organic shapes to solids with auto surfacing
  • Reverse engineer with cross sections, sketches and feature extraction, and check deviation as you go
  • Combine scan-driven and dimension-driven modelling in hybrid parts
  • Apply it all in an afternoon workshop on your own parts
How We Run It

Private Training at Your Facility

Every Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS course is private to your team and delivered on-site, anywhere in Canada. OptimumARC is a Geomagic authorized training partner, founded in 2009 and based in Canada. Courses are delivered by engineers, with P.Eng-led leadership.

Pre-Training Call

We talk through your scanner, SOLIDWORKS setup and parts, then shape the course around them.

2

On-Site Delivery

Our instructors come to you, anywhere in Canada, so your team trains in its own environment.

3

Your Parts and Scan Data

Your team practises on your own parts and scan data, so new skills go straight into daily work.

4

Follow-Up Support

After the course, your team can come back to us with questions on live projects.

FAQ

Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS Training Questions

Do we need our own licences and a 3D scanner?

Each trainee needs a computer with SOLIDWORKS and Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS installed. A scanner is not required, since the course can work from imported scan data. If you want to scan directly into SOLIDWORKS, tell us about your scanner on the pre-training call.

How much SOLIDWORKS experience do trainees need?

A working knowledge of SOLIDWORKS: sketching, features and the feature tree. The course teaches the scan-to-CAD tools, not SOLIDWORKS itself.

Can we work on our own parts?

Yes. The course ends with an afternoon workshop on your own parts, and we ask about them on the pre-training call so the whole course reflects your work.

Can our scanner connect directly to SOLIDWORKS?

Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS supports direct scanning with a range of industrial scanners and arms, and imports standard point and polygon formats. We confirm your scanner and setup on the pre-training call.

Should we take Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS or Design X training?

If your team models only in SOLIDWORKS, Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS training is usually the better fit. If you need deeper mesh repair, exact surfacing or output to more than one CAD platform, choose Design X.
