The only complete scan-to-SOLIDWORKS solution. Scan straight into SOLIDWORKS and rebuild usable CAD — it’s that simple.
- From point cloud to complete CAD inside SOLIDWORKS
- Scan directly with most 3D scanners on the market
- Real-time Deviation Analysis against scan data
A Straight Path from Point Cloud to CAD
No exporting, no switching applications — the whole scan-to-CAD workflow happens directly inside SOLIDWORKS.
Scan or Import
Scan directly into SOLIDWORKS with most 3D scanners, or import existing scan data.
Process & Surface
Refine huge meshes and point clouds, then fit accurate surfaces automatically.
Rebuild & Verify
Rebuild usable CAD and check it against the scan with real-time Deviation Analysis.
Highlight Features
Bring the power of 3D scanning to more people in more places.
Device Integration
Import data or scan directly into SOLIDWORKS with most 3D scanners available today.
Mesh & Point Cloud Processing
Straightforward, expert handling and refinement of huge mesh and point cloud data sets.
Real-Time Analysis
Use Deviation Analysis to compare your 3D model directly to the scan data.
Surfacing
Automatic surfacing tools fit accurate surfaces to your mesh.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS?
A scan-to-CAD solution that runs directly inside SOLIDWORKS, giving you a straightforward path from point cloud to a complete CAD design file without leaving your SOLIDWORKS environment.
Can I scan directly into SOLIDWORKS?
Yes. Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS works with most 3D scanners on the market, so you can scan directly into SOLIDWORKS or import existing scan data.
How do I check my model against the scan?
Real-time Deviation Analysis compares your 3D model directly to the scan data as you work.
What licensing and support options are available?
Perpetual licenses with maintenance programs are offered for commercial and educational use, along with enterprise suites. Support is available through the Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS Knowledge Base and Hexagon’s support team, and training courses can be arranged on request.
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 NVIDIA Quadro graphics card — plus a SOLIDWORKS installation.
