The Only Complete Scan-to-SOLIDWORKS Solution
Are you looking to quickly scan real world objects into SOLIDWORKS CAD models?
Meet Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS software, the most complete integrated Scan-to-SOLIDWORKS software solution with the capability to quickly and easily create accurate sketches, surfaces or feature-based editable solid parts inside SOLIDWORKS.
This software supports various 3D scanners, as well as the import of standard point and polygon file formats.
Scan straight into SOLIDWORKS, rebuild usable CAD. It’s that simple.
Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS software imports the scanned data, or directly scans it into SOLIDWORKS and converts it into a solid model in a matter of minutes. The most updated version of the software takes advantage of the reverse engineering process to provide the most efficient tools.
The Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS add-in includes new advanced features that easily combine the SOLIDWORKS engineering environment with the Geomagic scan processing software to deliver scan-based design promptly.
- Intuitive: Works just as SOLIDWORKS does.
- Simple: Extract features directly from scan data.
- Integrated: No time consuming file translation.

Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS Benefits

Scanning freedom
Import data or scan directly into SOLIDWORKS with most 3D scanners available on the market today.
Directly capture and process color 3D scans inside SOLIDWORKS with 3D scanning devices that support capture of color information. Additionally you have the ability to import color per vertex or texture mapped scans.

Create impossibly complex parts
Create products that cannot be designed without reverse engineering. Build components that integrate perfectly with existing products or customized parts that require a perfect fit with the human body.
Use proven industry-leading tools from Geomagic to make organic shapes useful in your SOLIDWORKS environment. Capture the design intent of complex geometry that cannot be measured with traditional hand tools or measuring equipment.

3D Comparison with Deviation Analysis
Quickly and easily compare a CAD object and a mesh object. Every wizard in Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS has a deviation analysis tool to check feature accuracy as you model. Get real-time information on your features to help make design decisions and maintain design intent

Create Solid Parts
Create solid parts with Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS. The combination of mesh editing and point cloud processing automatic and guided feature extraction and accurate and fast exact surface fitting to organic 3D scans help create useful featurebased solid models. Now, you can scan virtually anything and create manufacturing-ready designs.
