Geomagic 2012 SR1 Product Line Available

By DE Editors

Geomagic announced the first service release of the Geomagic 2012 product lines. The Geomagic 2012 SR1 product line builds on the initial 2012 product release, with a focus on faster and more robust processing of large data sets, expanded availability of embedded CAD importers, and increased accuracy.

Enhancements to the products affect the Geomagic Studio, Geomagic Wrap,  Geomagic Qualify, and Geomagic Probe solutions for reverse engineering,  3D imaging, inspection, measurement and metrology.

This latest release implements Tech Soft 3D’s Hoops Exchange v5.0 software, which enables CAD interoperability into the Geomagic Qualify products. Improvements include:

Updated CAD format support including Dassault Systems’ CATIA V5 R21 and SolidWorks 2012, plus NX 8, and Solid Edge ST4 from Siemens PLM; new PMI support for CATIA V5 R21, as well as JT and STEP files; and native support for PTC’s Creo files. This widened format support allows customers to natively import 3D CAD data files of their choice into Geomagic Qualify and Geomagic Qualify Probe for immediate comparison to inspection and measurement data in quality workflows.

Users can now align data at low resolution, and quickly apply the transforms to the original, high-resolution data. More robust processing for noise reduction, and global registration means that large data can be turned into usable 3D faster and more accurately.

Geomagic 2012 SR1 is available now for Maintenance customers to download at no charge.
