Geomagic Design X
Reverse engineer fast. Turn 3D scan data into feature-based, editable 3D models that work seamlessly with your other design software.
- Scan-to-CAD with a full parametric history tree
- LiveTransfer into leading CAD platforms
- Works with data from any 3D scanner
From Scan to CAD, Without the Rework
Fully Editable, Feature-Based Models
Rebuild parts with a parametric history tree so designs are easy to modify, reuse and iterate.
Seamless CAD Integration
Transfer models directly into leading CAD platforms with the feature tree intact — no rework.
Scan to CAD, Simplified
Automatically extract solids, surfaces and sketches from scan data to cut manual modeling time.
Turn Physical Parts into Usable Digital Designs
Geomagic Design X is Hexagon’s reverse engineering software for engineers and designers. By combining 3D scan processing with history-based CAD modeling, it helps teams recreate legacy parts, customize products and accelerate development.
The result: accurate, editable models ready for design, analysis and manufacturing.
