[3D Scanning News] Geomagic is magic, converting scans to CAD!

Following the release of the new EinScan Pro 2X series scanners, we previously shared a faster and more precise scanning test (further reading: Challenging a Car Bumper, Scanning and Modeling in Just 3 Minutes!). This time, at the SHINING 3D product launch event attended by 3dmart's special correspondent, 3D Systems and Siemens collaborated to introduce the new integrated software, Geomagic Essentials, which makes converting 3D scans to CAD easier than ever before.
 
 
New Geomagic Essentials Software

What are the features of Geomagic Essentials? While the latest 3D scanners can produce high-speed, high-precision imaging, converting these digitally computed 3D images into industrial-grade CAD still requires relatively complex modifications. Geomagic Essentials was created as a bridge software to address this need.

In addition to bridging the gap between 3D scanning and CAD computation, Geomagic Essentials processes 3D scan images in a way that allows the computation results to be compatible with CAD models, enabling editing during the scanning process and connecting the complete workflow from 3D scanning to reverse engineering and 3D printing. This function significantly enhances the convenience of engineering production and allows 3D scans to be converted into mesh systems or surface calculations. For example, with symmetrical objects like cars, only half of the object needs to be quickly scanned, converted to CAD calculation, and then symmetrically duplicated. For tires, after a full 3D scan, the other three can be directly duplicated. Additionally, it includes built-in functions for repairing broken surfaces, creating holes, and filling gaps.


 
Solid Edge SHINING 3D Edition
 
In addition to the new Geomagic Essentials, the included reverse engineering software, Solid Edge SHINING 3D Edition, is of course indispensable. It allows for generative design, simulation, and CAD tools, among other functions, which have been improved.
 
Complete Workflow from 3D Scan to CAD
 
1. Scan the object using EinScan Pro 2X and import the scan data into Geomagic Essentials
2. Select features and NURBS curves
3. Perform reverse engineering in Solid Edge
This newly released Geomagic Essentials will enable the EinScan Pro 2X / 2X Plus series to achieve more complete 3D scan results and a convenient user experience, allowing industrial applications to save time on product model completion and produce rapid prototypes through 3D printing.
 

3dmart's special correspondent recently underwent training and brought back this new functionality, which is now available for pre-order! We will continue to host various events and share the latest developments in 3D technology, which will be announced on our FB fan page and on the official website's latest news. Please stay tuned for firsthand updates!
