Geomagic and Z Corporation Join Forces

By DE Editors

As part of the recently-announced agreement between Geomagic (Research Triangle Park, NC) and Z Corporation (Burlington, MA), Geomagic will provide Geomagic Studio software in a comprehensive bundle with the new Z Corporation ZScanner 700.

The ZScanner 700 is a self-positioning 3D laser scanner. The lightweight, handheld device is free of traditional mechanical arms. It offers real-time surfacing, captures 3D data in one continuous process, and even allows objects to be moved during scanning.

Geomagic Studio creates models from any physical part, and can be used in emerging applications like the mass production of customized devices, build-to-order manufacturing, and digital asset archiving for automatic recreation of legacy parts. Geomagic Qualify offers a certified way to compare as-built versus as-designed with automatic reporting in inspection analysis.

According to a press release from Geomagic, the combination of the ZScanner 700 with Geomagic Studio and Geomagic Qualify introduces a highly sophisticated level of digital shape sampling for rapid prototyping, design, and quality assurance at the lowest price point available today in the market.
