Geomagic Freeform

Streamline mass custom design workflows.

• Shell Cut Tool: Create layered text or details as independent 3D objects that match the surface contours of the underlying part.
• Sketch Text Tool: Easily generate outline font profiles and use them to create 3D part labels.

Together these tools make mass customization of any design easier than ever.

Improve accuracy in complex designs. A dynamically interactive cross-section inspection tool provides multiple methods and modes to extract slice-based image stacks or profile curves. Use these functions to identify voids, avoid collisions, validate clearance specifications, or reverse engineer the shape of a volume.

Streamline your customer communication.

• Easily create images for downstream documentation with one click.
• Generate a single image or image sets based on orthographic or turntable views.
• Use options that eliminate downstream editing time such as cropping, centering, object filtering, and background transparency (PNG).

Promote legacy common solids to solid pieces in Geomagic Freeform Plus. Promoting a legacy common solid to a solid piece enables more precise positioning control, per-piece attribute assignment, higher status in the object list, and access to a broader set of palette tools.

• Make smooth surfaces and razor-sharp edges with SubD.
• Model precisely-defined CAD shapes with NURBS and solids or deform and emboss shapes with clay.
• Create and apply intricate, dimensionally-controlled textures.
• Use toolsets for voxel, polygonal mesh, SubD, and NURBS modeling.
• Develop complex parting surfaces for mold insert design.

• Carve and shape your clay with a wide range of tools in your virtual space including razors, knife cutters, scrapers, and more.
• Use a variety of tools to smooth, smudge, and shape designs.
• Bring your design ideas to live with detailing tools to tug, ridge, emboss, and deform your clay without limitations.
• Use a full range of selection and move features to reposition, align, and separate your designs.
• Use a full range of dimensional controls to create more accurate designs.

• Easily draw, repair, and edit curves; project from a sketch to a plane; and intersect sketches and offset curves.
• Pattern/emboss a bitmap along curves.
• Create, edit, and sketch on a plane; orient the plane; and copy profiles.
• Fully create and edit sketches in Geomagic Freeform with pencil, freehand, control point curves, and basic 2D forms like lines, arcs, and circles.
• Import 2D digital art files with 2D sketch.

• Import mesh models, convert to clay, and then edit the data using a range of tools to stitch, deform, and tug to desired shapes.
• Paint the data with airbrush tools and wrap images on a model.
• Import and export 2D and 3D industry-standard formats including OBJ, STL, PLY, ZPR, IGES curves, Parasolid, JPG, and more. VRML and Geomagic Freeform are included as export-only formats.

• Measure mass properties such as surface areas, volumes, and piece density.
• Analyze piece-to-piece fit, intersections, thickness, draft, no-fail shelling, and 3D printability.
• Display the model in different resolutions to increase processing speed and opt for scalable secondary views.
• Toggle new displays for undercuts, hide/show curves, and fit to view.
• Customize the user interface with color schemes and favorite palettes.
