Testimonials
"Geomagic Studio accurately transforms digitized point cloud data into a manufacturable surface. With Studio, we are able to cross-section polygonal models to obtain highly accurate splines, which can then be used for various CAM machining techniques and optional surface recreation. The realistic graphical representation gives us confidence that our final surface will yield the results we desire."
—Steve Wilson, RCR Racing
"We expect Geomagic Qualify to save us considerable time and money in our first-article inspection process. Our designers will be able to identify immediately where the part does and doesn't match the CAD database, then provide an on-screen 3D graphical report back to tooling, which can quickly understand where the problems lie and make necessary changes."
-Rus Emerick, Square D
"Geomagic Studio can without exaggeration be regarded as by far the most productive software for surface reconstruction available today. Based on our detailed knowledge of almost every market-relevant competitor, we found that no other software offers the same level of workflow orientation, user interface quality, power of functionalities, and speed. Opposed to traditional approaches requiring considerable effort and in-depth skills from the user, Studio focuses on ease of use and high-speed creation of freeform surfaces, thus being the tool to have for industrial product development, Already some of our earlier customers said that in comparison to even the strongest competitor, points to polygons to NURBS conversion with Geomagic Studio is sped up by factors up to ten."
—Warner Lenz, RSI (3D Systems and Software)
"Geomagic has allowed us to effortlessly complete complex surface development projects that we would have not otherwise attempted. It produces results that minimize surface count and allows us to read these files in as solids in our CAD packages. Geomagic Studio recently allowed Conceptual Engineering LLC to complete a project in 1 week that we had struggled with for several months in another surfacing package. It is definitely a package we could not survive without!"
—Jamie Ledin, President, Conceptual Engineering LLC
"Geomagic Studio allowed me to meet my client's design requirements for the modeling of a human femur in a fraction of the time it would have taken using my other design tools. The power of the software is astonishing."
—Bill Ryder, President, Ryder Engineering Corporation
"Mesh-to-NURBS conversion of our CT scan data was fast and accurate with Geomagic Studio. The software even surprised us by capturing hidden complex features within organs. These models should provide a valuable starting point for finite element analysis and development of a flexible endoscopy simulator."
—Richard E. Link, M.D., Ph.D., Baylor College of Medicine
"Geomagic is the missing link that everyone who does reverse engineering with a cloud of points has been looking for."
—Jeff Kleinheider, QTE Manufacturing
"In the past we have had to steer clear of some reverse engineering tasks because they would consume too many resources. Geomagic Studio has allowed us to take on those projects, and reduce the time necessary to get a satisfactory result."
—Kerry Glewwe, Principal Mechanical Designer, Conceptual Engineering, LLC
"Implementing Geomagic Studio has allowed us to do in hours or days what previously would have taken weeks. We're finding uses for the software we never imagined."
—Mike Berdan, Engineering Manager, Jerry Fain Models
"We just completed a project using Geomagic Studio that would have been impossible to complete with any other software...Our customer was very happy with the model. We have also found their technical support and sales/applications to be very responsive and quite knowledgeable. This has been our experience before and after the sale."
—Bill Richardson, Technical Director, Scan Tech 3D
"Using the old methodology we would have had to pay $12.50 per dimension on a 2D drawing and measure it with a CMM machine, only to find that there were only two out of tolerance. With Geomagic Qualify, I can quickly see the two features that don't match the CAD model. I don't have to measure all 1,295 dimensions."
-Rus Emerick, Square D
"...Geomagic Studio is a serious investment. But if you consider its ease-of-use, and how it can reduce days of painstaking work to a few hours of intelligent interaction, it starts to look like a bargain."
—David Cohn, Computer Graphics World magazine, May 2000
"We have investigated the field of rapid reverse engineering solutions... Geomagic is the technology leader. Nobody else comes close!"
—Thomas Teger, Manager, Technical Marketing, PTC
"(Geomagic Studio's) automation leads to tremendous productivity enhancements... I was able to build in minutes a watertight NURBS model that may have taken hours on other systems".
—Joe Greco, CADENCE magazine
"Before, FreeForm and Pro/E couldn't 'talk' to each other. Companies that wanted to work with sculpted models but that also needed to get them into a highly accurate, manufacturable format didn't have any options. Now Geomagic software links the two, creating the wholly digital work flow that they're looking for."
—Andrew Hally, SensAble Technologies
"The system is simple to learn, allows you to create many 3D models in the time it used to take to create one, and produces files that manufacturing can use directly, in terms both of format and quality."
—Pamela J. Waterman, Desktop Engineering
"I learned the software that evening, stayed all night working on the model, and by the next morning had perfect watertight STL and NURBS models. The client loved it."
—Mark Schaefer, Advanced Design Concepts
"Geomagic Shape's ability to automatically transform polygons to NURBS was the feature that made it stand out, and will make it especially valuable to manufacturers."
—Computer Graphics World Innovation Awards citation
"The Studio product streamlines the process of creating watertight STL models from point clouds for rapid prototyping. If you need to create NURBS surfaces from the model data, you can do it too without a lot of effort. I'm most impressed by the product's speed and automation."
—Terry Wohlers, Wohlers Associates, Inc.
"Geomagic Studio makes it possible to take output from 3D scanners and digitally duplicate the shape of a patient's mouth. The template-based workflow feature of Studio increases productivity by enabling surface patch layouts to be re-used, eliminating the repetitive task of creating new patch layouts for similar models. Studio is more automated and facilitates a lot of the steps necessary to get from points to surfaces (such as automated hole filling and web removal), thereby speeding up our process and enabling us to do mass customization."
—Bethany Grant, Atlantis Components
"I had been looking for a commercial point cloud wrapper tool to use in my lab with our Cyrax 3D Laser Scanner. After poking around and getting demos from various folks in the field of point cloud reduction and wrapping, I also compared price. I found Geomagic to be a very helpful and powerful tool for the price."
—Vic Baker, WV Virtual Environments Lab
"Template based design is a huge time saver. We had a project that required 15 similar models be created from 15 different scans. Template design reduced our time for the final 14 models from five hours each to one hour each (70 hours total to 14 hours total saved $3500 on one project)."
—Mark Schaefer, Advanced Design Concepts
