Geomagic Studio - Fashion Edition

Transform physical objects into 3D CAD-ready surface

In today's competitive global marketplace, distinctive design and speed to market are critical for achieving market leadership.

In addition, industrial designers and mechanical engineers must balance form with fit and function.

Successful innovative design incorporates aesthetics and ergonomics while taking into account performance, quality, cost, and manufacturability.

 

Bring physical objects into your digital designs
Jump start your design process-leaving more time to explore and refine concepts. Whether starting with a clay model, incorporating organic elements or reusing components from an existing physical part, you can leverage these important assets and turn them into digital models.

Accelerate the modeling process
Geomagic Fashion's intuitive, step-by-step surfacing process helps you quickly create high quality surfaces. Advanced tools provide early feedback and greater control. Automatic surface extension and trimming let you to intersect neighboring surfaces and create sharp edges for easier manipulation in CAD. Constrained surface fitting accurately captures design intent.

Capture and reproduce design intent
With Geomagic Fashion surfacing, you can extract design intent from existing objects and create optimized, CAD-ready surfaces that require minimal downstream editing. It automatically identifies analytic surfaces (planes, cylinders, cones and spheres) and swept surfaces (extrusions and rotationals). Plus it creates high quality complex freeform surfaces, a task that requires considerable time in traditional CAD packages.

Minimize late changes through early collaboration
Utilize 3D models created in Geomagic Studio to improve communication and shorten product development time. Teams can rapidly evaluate design concepts and provide valuable input on aesthetic and functional requirements early-avoiding costly changes and delays later in the process.

 

Geomagic Fashion guides you through the surfacing process in four easy steps.

Capture design intent with Geomagic Fashion surfacing.

Geomagic Fashion automatically detects the different surface regions based on the curvature of the model. The contour curves are extracted and used to define the surface boundaries.
 

Contour curves can be fine-tuned to ensure that they are optimally placed along edges and features. Contours not automatically extracted can be added manually by drawing directly on the mesh.
 

Primary surface regions are classified according to eight different surface types: planes, cylinders, cones, spheres, free-form surfaces, extrusions, drafted extrusions, and rotations. Each surface is displayed in a different color for easy identification.
 

Finally, primary surfaces are fitted based on parameters such as fitting tolerance, outlier percentages, dimensions and 2D profiles. Deviation analysis shows the accuracy of the fitted surfaces.
