Designed to handle the most demanding reverse engineering,
product design and rapid prototyping challenges, Geomagic Studio
transforms 3D scan data and polygon meshes into accurate 3D digital
models. A perfect complement to the CAD, CAE and CAM tools you already
own, Studio outputs industry standard formats including STL, IGES, STEP
and native CAD files.
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.
Scan data processing
• Process large data sets
• Collect point data
from all major 3D scanners and digitizers
• Optimize scan data
(using remove outliers, reduce noise and other available tools
• Align and merge
multiple scan data sets
• Automatically or
manually register multiple point cloud
Point and polygon editing
• Reduce dense data sets
with random, uniform and
curvature based point sampling
• Create polygon mesh
from point cloud data
• Modify, edit and clean
polygon model
• Automatically detect
and correct errors in the polygon mesh
• Detect and create
features in the model
• Repair and sharpen
boundary edges
• Export model in
several file formats including STL, OBJ, VRML1, VRML2, DXF, PLY and 3DS
Parametric modeling
• Automatically or
manually classify surface types
(planes, cylinders and others) of a model
• Automatically extend
and trim surfaces to create
perfectly sharp edges between neighboring surfaces
• Control surface
fitting using available tools and parameters
• Seamlessly transfer
parametric surfaces, solids, datums
and curves to CAD to automatically construct native geometry
• Create a single,
stitched surface that is a blend of planar,
cylindrical, conical, extruded, revolved, and
free-form surfaces
• Extract optimized
profile curves
Rapid surface modeling
• Automatically create
watertight NURBS surfaces
from polygon models
• Easily create new
patch layouts manually by drawing curves
• Automatically define
UV parameterization
• Adaptively fit
surfaces (C0 and C1) based on tolerance
• Obtain guaranteed C1
continuity between surface patches
• Create templates for
rapid surfacing of similar objects
• Ability to output
sharp edges and planar surfaces
• Detect and repair
patch errors with step-through dialogs
• Export model in
several formats including IGES, STEP, VDA,
NEU, SAT
