From Scan to Report, Without the Manual Effort
Inspection, Simplified
Capture and process data from any 3D scanner or portable CMM to cut manual measurement and analysis time.
Automated, Repeatable Workflows
Build inspection routines once with Visual Scripting, then run them again and again for consistent results.
Clear, Shareable Reporting
Turn results into professional reports that managers, customers and suppliers understand at a glance.
Reliable, Repeatable Inspection
Geomagic Control X is Hexagon’s 3D inspection and metrology software for quality engineers and metrologists who need to verify parts quickly and accurately.
By combining scan-to-CAD comparison with automated analysis and reporting, it helps teams catch deviations early, speed up first article inspection and bring quality assurance into every production environment.
Features
Device Integration
Capture data directly inside Geomagic Control X, or work with scan data from any 3D scanner or portable CMM.
Automation
Maximize inspection throughput with Visual Scripting and Automation Server, so routine inspections run with minimal operator input.
2D & 3D Comparisons
Compare scan data to CAD models or to other scans to fully understand how parts match design intent.
Deviation Location
Scan, analyze and report surface defects and variations — see where parts differ and by how much.
Annotations & Dimensioning
Add custom annotations, CAD-aware dimensioning, PMI support and GD&T callouts directly to results.
Custom Reporting
Analyze multiple results together and create professional, easy-to-read reports for managers, customers and suppliers.
Real-World Use Cases
Remanufacturing Turbines
A scan-based approach to design and inspection helps a factory keep production running.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Geomagic Control X do?
It turns 3D scan and probe data into automated quality results. It compares scans to CAD or to other scans, locates deviations, adds GD&T and dimensions, and produces professional inspection reports.
Which devices does it work with?
Any 3D scanner or portable CMM. You can capture data directly inside Control X or import scan data from your device.
Can I automate repeat inspections?
Yes. Build inspection routines once with Visual Scripting and run them again and again, or use Automation Server to run routine inspections with minimal operator input.
Does it support GD&T?
Yes. Control X supports customizable annotations, CAD-aware dimensioning, PMI and GD&T callouts directly on inspection results.
What are the minimum system requirements?
Windows 8.1 (64-bit), an Intel or AMD processor at 2.0 GHz or faster, 8 GB RAM, 30 GB of free disk space, a 1280 × 960 32-bit display and an OpenGL 3.0+ graphics card with at least 4 GB of memory.
