Best scan to CAD software hands down

so much faster than any CAD plugin on the market. It's the only sensible choice if you are working with scan data several hours or more per week.

PROS

there are too many tools to name but one that really stands out is the amazing sketching functionality in this software

CONS

It's expensive. But there's nothing else like it and nothing to compare to. The efficiency compared to other tools has been well worth the cost

Reason for choosing Geomagic Design X

more efficient and more capability

Reasons for switching to Geomagic Design X

added functionality

25 years of use

I have seen this software grow and evolve since these first versions (in 1998). It's amazing how the tools and functions have evolved (with the evolution of 3D scanners and computers). It is for me, today, the most powerful and efficient tool for my daily modeling (meshes & CAD solids). I also use other software which are for me only secondary.I was able, thanks to this tool, to deliver hundreds of projects with a very appreciated result.

PROS

The most significant for me is the user-friendliness of the interface. Dialog boxes not too overloaded with functions and options. The hybrid design mode that allows you to work with meshes, surfaces and solids. The mastery and accuracy of reverse engineering with control tools.

CONS

I don't use any design assistant (Wizard) to keep control of my designs. I also prefer to stay in a 3D sketch rather than a 3D mesh sketch. This leaves more freedom in the design of 3D curves. Still lack of being able to deactivate the snap filters in this mode (to be able to move a curve point without snapping to a background element). Atlas texture mapping missing (not possible to edit the map generated in DX). Many features are gone since Rapidform2006 (surface editing mode, displacement map generation, grey scale modeling (engraving), and many other).

The real reverse engineering software.

I enjoy using this software. Looking forward to see its new features with the force of Oqton.

PROS

Being a user of Design X for 10 years, it is always enjoyable. It is a dedicated software, not a patch. You can connect your scanner and finish your design by usşng Design X only. Freeform surface modelling is a piece of cake for it. But, you have to know what kind of a workpiece you are working on. It is a perfect solution in competent hands. If you are familiar with a CAD software, Solidworks, Autocad, Inventor etc. you can easily learn Design X.

CONS

I know that Design X developers does not spend time on features which are already in CAD softwares. However, sometimes I lack for features like hole library, sheet metal modules etc.

Reason for choosing Geomagic Design X

Geomagic Design X is a dedicated software for reverse engineering. Others just have a small patch or module of a CAD or inspection software.

Geomagic Design X Review.

10 out of 10

PROS

I love the layout of the tool bar and how easy to find the tools. Help menu is amazingly useful. Lot of information included that can be access with click a button.

CONS

3D sketch and transferring the 3d sketched could be little bit more better. Sometimes I can't transfer the 3D sketches simply because of the geometry of the object or surface I am working with.

Your models are handled by Geomagic Design X.

Geomagic Design X is widely utilized in the fields of engineering and manufacturing. It remains a good software, even if it wasn't to my personal liking.

PROS

The key feature that I like is the ability to create accurate 3D models from scanned data obtained from various sources such as 3D scanners, mesh files, and more.

CONS

What I don't like is the automatic generation of parametric design features. From my point of view, I find it not very efficient.

Expensive, but great

It definitelly boosted my modelling and reverse engineering skills. I like to work with GDX and explore more features which I haven't used yet, there is always something that can help me work faster :)

PROS

Variety of features which I can use to achieve the necessary result

CONS

The price - a lot of customers will rather buy less expensive (even not that good) SW to save money.

It makes 3D scanning much easier

PROS

Geomagic Design X is a user-friendly software product with a linear workflow for post-processing 3D scan data. The software allows users to import point data, create a polygon mesh, and use automated healing and repair routines to create an accurate representation of the scanned form. It also offers a range of tools for reverse engineering the data. It offers arraying tools that allow users to quickly create repeating patterns from a single scanned segment. This can be useful for materials with repeating patterns

CONS

A bit costly but essential for processing complex 3D scans
