Reverse Engineering Software
Geomagic Design X
Full reverse engineering to design-intent, editable parametric CAD — recreate how the part was designed, not just its surface.
Geomagic Design X, the industry’s most comprehensive reverse engineering software, combines history-based CAD with 3D scan data processing so you can create feature-based, editable solid models compatible with your existing CAD software.
Live transfer of reverse engineered models into Solidworks, PTC Creo, Siemens NX and Autodesk Inventor, means reverse engineered models can be seamlessly transferred into your native CAD system as if they had been designed from scratch with full feature based parametric history trees.
"Geomagic Design X is the only viable choice
for parametric solid modeling from 3D scans.”The conclusion of a a recent study conducted by Professor Kuang-Hua Chang of the University of Oklahoma and funded by the U.S Air Force.
Accelerate the Design Process
Use prototypes or legacy parts as a starting block to quickly build 3D CAD models.
Reduce Costs
Re-use and develop existing parts without the painful process of updating old 2d drawings or manually measuring old parts.
Design the Impossible
Design parts previously impossible like custom fitted components to body parts.

3D Scan Data.
Region Segment automatically segments the model into geometrical features such as planes, cylinders, cone etc.
2D Sections can be dimensioned to re-model as measured or to adjust to ‘original design intent’.
Automatically extrude, revolve, sweep, loft functions to reverse engineer your model back to CAD.
Parametric Solid Model with full history tree ready for Solidworks, PTC Creo, Siemens NX and Autodesk Inventor.
