Geomagic Design X Software

The Fastest Path from 3D Scans to CAD

Geomagic Design X is the leading scan to CAD software for reverse engineering physical parts into digital parametric CAD models. Combine history-based CAD with 3D scan data processing.

The Ultimate Scan to CAD Solution

Geomagic Design X is the industry leading reverse engineering software that uses 3D scan data captured from a 3D scanner to create history-based CAD. Instead of designing from scratch, use 3D meshes of real world objects as a starting point for your new design. With Design X, you can create feature-based, editable solid models with history tree compatible with your existing CAD software.

What Can You Do with Geomagic Design X?

Real world object to parametric CAD model
  • CAD File

    Create missing CAD files of existing parts without hassle. This is especially important when you need to create CAD models in volume.

  • Extract design intent

    Extract design intent of existing objects that would be difficult to do in any other way.

  • 3D Scanning

    When you combine 3D scanning with Design X, you get accurate full data capture of real world objects faster compared to using calipers or CMMs.

Scan virtually anything and create manufacturing-ready designs with Geomagic Design X reverse engineering software:

  • Rebuild CAD data for legacy parts and tooling
  • Design new custom products that fit in, on, or around existing ones
  • Document changes made post-prototype or manufacture
  • Recreate non-existent or lost CAD data for parts and molds
  • Convert physical parts into CAD for new product designs

Complements Your Entire Design Ecosystem

Live Transfer feature allows seamless live data exchange to multiple CAD applications for including:
  • Solidworks
  • PTC
  • Inventor
  • Catia
  • Solid Edge
  • NX

Live Transfer is one of the most powerful features in the reverse engineering software. Once you completed your solid model in Geomagic Design X, the Live Transfer command transfers whole or partial data to target CAD systems in real-time. Each feature is transferred instantaneously, which yields a parametric model with complete editable feature history in your CAD software as though you created it there originally. The software transfers native CAD data that you can use the same way as any other CAD model—except that it accurately represents a scanned object.

Why Use Geomagic Design X?

Geomagic Design X makes it easy to create editable, feature-based CAD models and integrate them into your existing engineering design workflow. Create manufacturing-ready CAD models directly from scan data in the fastest way possible.

Works Like CAD Software

If you are familiar with CAD, you can start using Design X right away. It uses familiar tools for solid modeling. Say goodbye to traditional reverse engineering workflows involved in painstaking polygon editing and surface generation. Geomagic Design X makes it simplier and easier to use.

do the impossible

Do The Impossible

Accomplish More

Build products that cannot be designed without reverse engineering, customized parts that require a perfect fit with the human body. Create components that integrate perfectly with existing products. Recreate complex geometry that cannot be measured any other way.

reduce costs

Reduce Costs

Save significant money and time when modeling as-built and as-designed parts. With Design X, you can:
  • Deform an existing CAD model to fit your 3D scans
  • Reduce tool iteration costs by using actual part geometry to correct your CAD and elimination part springback problems
  • Reduce costly errors related to poor fit with other components

  • Automated Sketching Increases Accuracy
    Automated Sketching Increases Accuracy

    No need to hand-select points to form sketches or rely on visual approximations to guess where the sketches should go. With Geomagic Design X, fit sketch lines, arcs, and curves onto scanned parts more accurately by best fit automatically.

  • Automated Feature Creation Speeds Up Modeling
    Automated Feature Creation Speeds Up Modeling Process

    CAD models have hundreds or thousands of features describing every aspect of a given part. Design X performs common feature modeling operations automatically in seconds including 2D and 3D sketch, revolve, extrude, fillet, shell/thicken, and pipe.
