Geomagic Studio 10 Unveiled at EuroMold

By DE Editors

Geomagic (Research Triangle Park, NC) unveiled Geomagic Studio 10, the latest version of its digital reconstruction software, at the EuroMold 2007 show in Frankfurt, Germany.

Its new optional surfacing module called Geomagic Fashion automatically extracts the design intent from scanned physical objects. Geomagic Studio 10 also includes an enhanced GUI, streamlined feature framework, multisensor metrology support, and a customizable architecture.

The new Geomagic Fashion module is the perfect complement to Geomagic Shape, the module used worldwide to digitally reconstruct exact digital models of physical parts. Geomagic Shape provides the fastest, easiest way to digitally reconstruct a physical part as it exists, generating a watertight NURBS model. Geomagic Fashion automatically recreates the original surface aesthetics that are often lost in the manufactured or scanned object.

Surface models from Geomagic Fashion are output in CAD-ready layouts for smaller IGES/STEP files, faster CNC code generation, and improved machining. Analytic surfaces and profile curves from Geomagic Fashion can be further manipulated in CAD, reducing the amount of time required to leverage or replicate an existing design.

In addition to the Geomagic Fashion module, Geomagic Studio 10 includes a 64-bit edition that allows users to take advantage of the expanded memory capacity of 64-bit computer systems to process huge datasets generated by the newest generation of non-contact 3D scanners.

Shipments, which are scheduled to begin later in December, with both 32- and 64-bit editions on the CD, supports English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese. For a limited time, special introductory pricing is available for existing customers who wish to upgrade, as well as for new buyers.
