Artec 3D is collaborating with SOLIDWORKS, the market leader of the CAD software to bring engineers and product designers the best 3D experience possible. Now you can capture an object with Artec scanners, create a high precision 3D model and export it into SOLIDWORKS environment in just one click.
SOLIDWORKS is a widely acclaimed CAD software used by professionals in various industries worldwide. With a wide range of powerful tools, it is the perfect solution for reverse engineering, industrial design, rapid prototyping, analysis and more.
Artec Studio and SOLIDWORKS license holders can now export 3D models directly into SOLIDWORKS by using the Geomagic professional plugin, one of the most advanced scan-to-SOLIDWORKS solutions on the market today. The plugin was designed by 3D Systems with the main aim of transforming all of your 3D scans into editable objects in the CAD environment using a smart and easy workflow, for rapid design, engineering, and production.
Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS is replete with tools such as mesh editing, point cloud processing, automatic and guided feature extraction, and fast, exact surface fitting to organic 3D scans. Capture almost any object and create feature-based solid 3D models, ready for manufacturing.
Geomagic’s reverse engineering algorithms can reconstruct missing design data in no time, which is especially useful when you need to make old or broken molds anew, or to recreate lost design files. The plugin allows you to easily create both whole designs as well as elements of complex SOLIDWORKS models. A common application of this feature is customizing prosthetic devices for a perfect fit.
A complete scan-to-CAD solution, Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS also allows you to check the feature accuracy of your model with the available standard deviation analysis tool. Enjoy the fast, easy and accurate comparison of CAD and mesh objects.
Go from a 3D scan into SOLIDWORKS and create an accurate mold block from organic shapes in less than 8 minutes with the Geomagic plug-in
