Geomagic® Design Direct forward and reverse hybrid design software
Geomagic Design Direct (formerly Geomagic® Spark™) is the only 3D application of its type. It seamlessly combines real-time scan data processing, CAD design, and powerful 3D points and meshes in a complete software package Editing, assembly construction and 2D sketch creation.
Geomagic Design Direct has the industry's most powerful scan data processing and editing tools and a wealth of direct modeling CAD software packages. The combination of industry-leading CAD functions and 3D scanning has led to a new design paradigm that combines CAD and scanning, which can fundamentally streamline product development windows, accelerate processing efficiency, promote cooperation, and accelerate product launches.
Geomagic created Geomagic Design Direct (built on the industry-leading SpaceClaim® CAD API) for both CAD experts and non-CAD users. Utilizing direct modeling tools, Geomagic Deisgn Direct's intuitive controls and subtle learning curve enable anyone to become a productive CAD designer. Users can directly scan or import the point cloud into the application, and then use the dynamic push/pull toolset to quickly create and edit solid models. There is no need for a complicated history tree to keep them backward, and users are also free to quickly modify the design and change parameters without restriction. Geomagic Design Direct can be customized through a combination of third-party plug-ins, and it is easily integrated with all major external CAD software packages.
Engineering
Geomagic Design Direct utilizes its user-friendly interface and intuitive direct modeling tools to enable engineers in various industries to prepare full assembly, design concepts, and modify designs without being CAD experts.
Concept modeling
By using scanning of physical data in a CAD environment, industry designers and consumer product designers can use Geomagic Design Direct to easily create a large number of concepts for customer approval.
Manufacturing
Geomagic Design Direct enables manufacturing engineers and designers of all levels of CAD capability to scan existing or original parts, quickly modify designs, clean up damaged geometry, adjust dimensions, create new 2D drawings, and more. Companies that use Geomagic Design Direct for manufacturing can resolve manufacturing issues more quickly and ensure that manufacturing time horizons are shortened.
