Geomagic Studio

With Geomagic Studio, you can digitally reconstruct an infinite variety of complex real world shapes more quickly and easily than ever before. Using 3D scan data of these objects, you’ll be able to create accurate models that capture either the design intent or the as-built part. From product design, re-engineering of parts and mass customization to engineering analysis, rapid prototyping and digital archiving, Geomagic Studio opens up a new world of possibilities by bringing your physical parts into the digital realm.

Certified by the PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt), Geomagic Studio is powered by patented technology and algorithms that produce high quality surfaces, accurate geometry, color and textures.

Leverage the physical objects you already have

There’s no need to start with a blank screen that requires you to input dimensions and shapes when you already have a physical part that represents what you want. With Geomagic Studio, you can leverage these existing assets to shorten the design cycle and prepare models for analysis, CAD or other downstream applications.

Create complex freeform shapes in a fraction of the time

Creating complex freeform shapes can be a painstaking process using traditional CAD tools - much more laborious than creating a physical model. With Geomagic Studio, you start with the physical model, scan it and then automatically generate perfect continuous surfaces and watertight models that represent it. Advanced editing tools let you further refine the model.

Close the loop between digital and physical

Changes are a natural part of the design process as concepts are refined and prepared for manufacturing. Changes can also occur once a part is put in use due to wear and tear. Geomagic Studio closes the loop and aligns the physical and digital worlds, ensuring that you have a digital model that accurately represents the current as-built product. There’s no need to manually update existing CAD models to compensate for the differences.

Assess true performance characteristics

Conducting engineering analysis such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) or finite element analysis (FEA) on CAD models does not always tell the whole story. By capturing and creating a model of the as-built product, you’ll be able to assess true performance characteristics that you can compare to the theoretical analysis performed on the perfect CAD model.

Reproduce design intent

With the optional Fashion module of Geomagic Studio, you can quickly extract design intent and recreate original surface aesthetics. The software automatically identifies, analyzes and corrects imperfections in the scan data to create high quality analytic and freeform surfaces that are CAD ready. Analytic surfaces and profile curves can be further manipulated in your favorite CAD package. The result - you’ll spend less time creating the initial form, leaving more time to focus on fit and function.

Geomagic Fashion

With the new Fashion module for Geomagic Studio, you can quickly extract design intent and recreate original surface aesthetics from existing physical objects to create CAD-ready files that are ideally suited for downstream work in your favorite CAD system. You begin by using Geomagic Wrap to clean up the scan data and create a polygonal model. Geomagic Fashion automatically analyzes the scanned object to identify a wide variety of analytic surfaces (planes, cylinders, cones and spheres) and swept surfaces (extrusions, drafted extrusions and rotationals). Plus, it automatically creates high quality complex freeform surfaces - a task that requires a tremendous amount of time and effort in traditional CAD packages.

Geomagic Fashion guides you through the surfacing process in five easy steps.

Step 1: Detect Contours

In the detect contours phase, the software automatically defines the surface regions of the model - presenting them in a variety of unique colors separated by red boundaries. Using the editing tools, you can paint over the boundaries to further refine the segmentation. Once you are satisfied with your edits, the software extracts the contour curves.

Step 2: Edit Contours

Contours can be fine-tuned in the edit contours phase. This ensures that you have optimal curves. Contours not automatically extracted can be added manually by drawing directly on the mesh.

Step 3: Extend Contours

To create a trimmed model, you must first create an extended contour structure. Geomagic Fashion offers a unique adaptive method for creating CAD-ready contour structures. The resulting extended contour structure adapts to the width of high curvature regions to yield high quality connecting surfaces.

Step 4: Edit Extensions

The extended contours ultimately become connecting surfaces that join the primary surfaces together. Editing the extensions helps ensure the connecting surfaces flow smoothly into the primaries to create the optimal surface quality.

Step 5: Classify Regions and Create Surfaces

Primary surface regions are first classified as one of eight different surface types: planes, cylinders, cones, spheres, free-form surfaces, extrusions, drafted extrusions and rotations. Each surface is displayed in a different color for easy identification. Next, you fit the primaries - controlling parameters such as fitting tolerance, outlier percentages, dimensions and 2D profiles.
