Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS

Effective reverse engineering

With Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS, by Artec 3D, you can quickly transform 3D scans into solid CAD models, a powerful toolset seamlessly integrated into SOLIDWORKS.

Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS

Accelerate your reverse engineering process by exporting 3D scans directly into SOLIDWORKS. Effortlessly extract essential features to create precise CAD surfaces and utilize a comprehensive 3D modeling toolset to prepare complex products for manufacturing.

Create editable scan-based CAD models in just five simple steps.
With Artec 3D scanning, SOLIDWORKS, and Geomagic’s specialized plug-in, you can achieve a seamless scan-to-CAD workflow. Accurately capture intricate objects and transform the resulting meshes into solid CAD models for applications such as legacy part digitization, product upgrades, failure analysis, and more.

  1. Quickly capture with one or more Artec 3D scanners
    Digitize any part for design, iteration, and production with Artec 3D scanning. Auto-capture at a microscale with Artec Micro II, flexibly scan with 0.1mm accuracy using the wireless Artec Leo, deploy Ray II to digitize at scale, or merge Leo & Ray II data to maximize resolution.
  2. Seamlessly optimize meshes for SOLIDWORKS export
    Before export, you can refine meshes in Artec Studio, or polish them further with Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS’ advanced processing tools. Send 2D sections, CAD objects, or entire meshes as needed, to extract and utilize design information as you go.
  3. Segment to prepare for feature extraction
    Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS supports hybrid and manual reverse engineering, as well as a combination of the two. Use intuitive region grouping to extract regions then fit primitives, or create mesh sections to obtain a reference for sketching, the choice is yours.
  4. Create & combine 3D elements into solid CAD models
    With a plug-in-enhanced SOLIDWORKS toolset, extracting primitives and other 3D geometry for extruding, sweeping, or revolving sketches is easier than ever. Combining resulting 3D elements yields solid CAD models faithful to the mesh data they’re based upon.
  5. Analyze feature deviation in real time
    While reverse engineering, you can analyze deviation at any point to compare surfaces or bodies with imported meshes. Go feature-by-feature adding constraints as needed, until you’re left with manufacturing-ready, sub-millimeter-accurate CAD models.
