Geomagic®,
a global company providing 3D technology for digital reality, today
announced the availability of the 2013 versions of its industry-leading
Geomagic Qualify®, Geomagic Qualify® Probe,
Geomagic Studio® and Geomagic Wrap®, which
transform scan and probe data into 3D to be used in design,
manufacturing and metrology applications. Geomagic’s latest software
products deliver more comprehensive platforms for greater automation and
user customization of 3D inspection and scanning processes, enhanced
features focused on probing procedures, and streamlined workflows.

Geomagic Qualify 2013 and Geomagic Qualify Probe 2013
Geomagic Qualify 2013 expands upon an already powerful platform with
more comprehensive, robust and accurate 3D metrology features and
automation tools, which can be used with both scan and probe data.
Geomagic Qualify Probe 2013 incorporates Geomagic Qualify 2013’s rich
toolset in a probing-only measuring environment.
The 2013 releases include deeper platform access and the ability for
users to write custom functionality – like inspection protocols,
constrained alignments, CAD model access and reporting – using Python
scripting. Enhanced Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerance (GD&T) probing
and measurement functions include CAD-less definition of nominal
geometry, improved prompts to probe test data, and a more detailed
Measure Features command that delivers measured and nominal features
plus deviations. The products now have more streamlined workflows
designed to help customers improve inspection, produce better products,
and lower operating and manufacturing costs.
In addition, the Geomagic Qualify products have been enhanced to deliver
more intuitive interactivity between the engineer and the software,
especially in the QuickFeature™ and QuickProbe™
toolsets. These new features make it even easier to quickly measure the
size of manufactured parts while performing automated inspection and
measurement in near real time on the manufacturing shop floor.
Geomagic Studio 2013
Geomagic Studio, the industry’s most advanced solution for automated
point cloud cleanup, mesh repair and patch functions, helps designers,
engineers and manufacturers produce highly accurate 3D polygonal models
from scan data. The new version of Geomagic Studio allows users to save
time with increased automation, and it includes Python scripting and a
command line-driven version of the software, which allows customers to
create and execute customized macros and scripts without a graphical
user interface, allowing commands to run faster and use less memory.
Geomagic Studio 2013 also includes the ability to capture design intent
from any shape for history-based CAD platforms, an easy-to-learn
interface for streamlined functionality and fast operations, and a wide
array of hardware and software integration capabilities.
“Our 3D museum work at the Idaho
Virtualization Lab would not be possible without Geomagic Studio at
the core of our activities," reported Herbert Maschner, director.
“Geomagic is a critical part of our Democratization of Science Project
as we put the Idaho Museum of Natural History’s collections online.
Using Geomagic, 3D models of mammal bones, complete skeletons, fossils
and artifacts are accurately and quickly created from 3D scans, and
these 3D models are accessed and used by thousands of students and
scholars worldwide for education and research.”
Geomagic Wrap 2013
Geomagic Wrap incorporates many of Geomagic Studio 2013’s new automation
and customization features, which allow artists, archeologists,
designers and filmmakers, among others, to create perfect 3D models from
physical objects. With its 2013 release, Geomagic Wrap now also includes
exact surfacing, using the powerful one-button AutoSurface tools.
Additional new features include Repair Patches, Construct Grids and Fit
Surfaces functions, and more automated, intelligent tools for
visualizing and transforming point clouds into usable 3D models. For
prototyping, analysis, archiving, design, visual effects and more,
Geomagic Wrap is a cost-effective, user-friendly way to quickly
incorporate 3D scanning into a variety of workflows.
“In a world that is increasingly moving to digital reality, where
physical objects become digital and digital objects become physical,
manufacturers need innovative scanning and inspection tools that
simplify and automate these processes,” said Kevin Scofield, Geomagic’s
senior product manager. “As manufacturers look to scanning and
inspection as a way to get products to market faster and drive
competitive advantage, Geomagic’s 2013 products are at the forefront of
usability, customization, automation and highly accurate results.”
