1 min read
Reverse engineering, 3D imaging, inspection and metrology software product provider Geomagic has announced a service release of its Geomagic 2012 products. Enhancements affect Geomagic Studio, Geomagic Wrap, Geomagic Qualify and Geomagic Qualify Probe.
The latest release focuses on faster and more robust processing of large data sets, expanded availability of embedded CAD importers, and increased accuracy.
Geomagic 2012 SR1 implements TechSoft 3D's Hoops Exchange V5.0 software that enables CAD interoperability with Geomagic Qualify products. Updated CAD format support includes Dassault Systèmes Catia V5 R21 and SolidWorks 2012, plus NX 8 and solid Edge ST4 from Siemens PLM; PMI support for Catia V5 R21, as well as JT and STEP files; and native support for PTC's Creofiles.
Enhancements to Geomagic platform technologies enable faster and more intuitive user workflows, explains the company, especially with large data sets. 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 sets can be turned into usable 3D faster and more accurately.
QuickProbe enables more intuitive feature creation when a part is measured by customers using a portable CMM for workflow inspection. Geomagic says that Best Fit alignment for probe data will give users greater confidence that the nominal model and probed data are perfectly aligned for measurement and comparison.
Geomagic 2012 SR1 is available free for maintenance customers to download.
