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.
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.
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 of existing objects that would be difficult to do in any other way.
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:
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.
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.
Shave days or weeks from product idea to finished design using reverse engineering. Scan prototypes, existing parts, tooling or related objects using a 3D scanner and create designs in a fraction of the time it would take to manually measure and create CAD models from scratch.
Many designs are inspired by another. Easily scan into your CAD system. Learn from it. Reuse it. Improve on it. Easily rebuild your old parts into current CAD data, create drawings and production designs.
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.
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.
This Scan to CAD software has the key toolsets of the iconic Geomagic Design X—at a fraction of the price of the full version of the software.

With Geomagic Design X, there’s no lags or frozen screens when dealing with large scan data sets from 3D scanners.
Start using Design X right away. It works like your CAD software so it feels like a similar environment. Also works seamlessly with any CAD software.
Don’t leave critical design work to chance! Design X is the only software that combines scan processing and CAD, plus real-time feedback.
Design X is a modern reverse engineering software built on more than 20 years of innovation in making the most out of 3D scan data.
Geomagic Design X makes it easy to extract values, features, and surfaces from existing products by creating CAD models from 3D scans faster, more accurately, and more reliably than any other reverse-engineering method.
This version delivers new and enhanced features to streamline modeling workflows and expand modeling pathways for complex, revolved parts.
This features provide easy workflows for traditionally difficult parts with both organic and prismatic features. Selective surfacing combines very fast, organic surfacing with high-precision feature modeling methods. The result: increased productivity, greater downstream CAD re-usability, and control over model accuracy.
Using a comprehensive suite of mesh processing tools, you can unroll the mesh to automatically extract a 2D sketch, make the modifications needed, and then reroll the sketch for additional engineering. This feature reduces the need for multiple rounds of trial and re-work, dramatically improving part precision, efficiency and downstream usability.
A new function to easily separate a multibody mesh object into independent entities for improved handling of additive files and assemblies.

Geomagic Design X does what no other software can with its combination of automatic, guided solid model extraction; incredibly accurate, exact surface fitting to organic 3D scans; mesh editing; and point-cloud processing.
The scan to CAD software has a real-time feedback with patented accuracy analyzer to determine the accuracy of your CAD model on the fly during every step of the reverse engineering process.
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.
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.
Some part regions such as rough, unmachined casting portions do not require design intent extraction. Design X empowers you to capture as-built NURBS geometry automatically to blend automatic surfaces with solid-modeled features seamlessly.
Leading manufacturers are using modern reverse engineering software like Design X to gain a competitive edge throughout the design, manufacture, and maintenance of their products. The software equips you with all the tools you need to do reverse engineering jobs faster, easier all the while saving costs.
