On the cusp of becoming part of 3D Systems, the 2013 product updates extends functionality deeper into scan/probe, shape editing, and data interoperability.
This week Geomagic releases its 2013 product line refresh, the last time it will do so before becoming part of the growing 3D Systems empire later this quarter. All its major products are now available in a 2013 edition; the innovative new Spark for CAD-style editing from 3D scan data is now available.
Major products and new features of Geomagic’s 2013 release include:
Geomagic Studio for transforming 3D scanned data into accurate surface, polygon, and native CAD models:
- Python scripting and command-line prompts, for creating and executing customized macros and scripts without a graphical user interface
- New ability to capture design intent from any shape for history-based CAD products
- Direct one-click export to SpaceClaim
- Optional ability to export to most leading MCAD products, including Catia, Inventor, Creo Elements/Pro, and SolidWorks
- A revised user interface to streamline most operations.
Geomagic Studio is used in a wide variety of manufacturing settings for reconstruction, reverse engineering, and other situations requiring the digital reuse of existing physical data. (Source: Geomagic)
