Introduction

Geomagic is a world-class software and service company headquartered in the Delta Development Zone of North Carolina, USA, with branches in Europe and Asia, and distributors distributed around the world. In many industrial fields, such as automobiles, aviation, medical equipment, and consumer products, many professionals are using Geomagic software and services. The main products of the company are Geomagic Studio, Geomagic Quality, and Geomagic Piano, among which Geomagic Studio is a widely used reverse software. The rapidly growing Geomagic is becoming a leader in digital shape sampling and processing (DSSP).

Spark-Forward and reverse hybrid design software

Geomagic Spark is the only 3D design software in the industry that combines real-time 3D scanning, 3D point cloud and Triangle mesh editing functions, as well as comprehensive CAD modeling design, assembly modeling, 2D plotting and other functions. Although traditional CAD software also has modeling capabilities, there is a lack of tools to process 3D scanning data into useful 3D models. Geomagic Spark has added 3D scanning data function, integrating advanced scanning technology and direct modeling technology. Users can merge scanned data and design CAD models in the same software in just two to three minutes, and even create solid models and assemblies that can be used for manufacturing with some scanned data.

Description and Characteristics

Geomagic Spark's integration package puts point clouds, Triangle mesh and CAD modeling in the same user interface. Designers can either scan directly through Geomagic Spark or load ready-made point cloud or triangular mesh data.

After creating a solid model, users can compare it with its triangular mesh data to identify areas of deviation between them. 2D drawings, annotations, dimensions, etc. are readily available and can interact with 3D data. And it can quickly and easily export CAD file formats. The strong combination of 3D data processing capabilities and CAD functionality will significantly improve processing efficiency in reverse engineering, production manufacturing, prototype development, conceptual modeling and creation, archiving, and service centers.

Studio

Geomagic Studio can automatically generate accurate digital models based on any physical component. As the world's preferred automated reverse engineering software, Geomagic Studio also provides an ideal choice for emerging applications, such as mass production of customized equipment, on-demand production mode, and automatic remaking of original components. Only Geomagic Studio has all the following features:

Ensuring flawless polygonal and NURBS models for processing complex shapes or free form surface shapes increases productivity by ten times compared to traditional CAD software, and allows users to avoid tedious and labor-intensive tasks. It can be integrated with all major 3D scanning equipment and CAD/CAM software and can be used as a standalone application for rapid manufacturing or as a supplement to CAD software.

Technical advantages

Simplified workflow - Geomagic Studio software simplifies the workflow for beginners and experienced engineers. The features of automation and simplified workflow reduce user training time, avoiding tedious and labor-intensive tasks.

Improved productivity - Geomagic Studio is a practical software that can increase productivity. Compared with traditional computer-aided design (CAD) software, the production efficiency can be increased by ten times when dealing with complex or free form surface shapes.
