Geomagic Control X adds scan traceability, as well as accurate and customisable reporting to 3D Systems pro 3D scanning workflow
Powerful inspection tools within straightforward workflows is the hook for 3D Systems’ latest Geomagic release – Control X.
Promising precise, rapid, digital inspection for quality management and metrology workflows, the new software is billed as an intuitive box of tricks and innovative toolsets for professional metrology.
Key to the professional sector is its addition of scan traceability, as well as accurate and customisable reporting and analysis tools, helping fill in the blanks on those quality measures documents.
According to Scott Green, director of product management, software solutions, 3D Systems, Geomagic Control X builds on the company’s 20-year legacy of inspection software development to introduce “the world’s best-in-class metrology software”.
Green added that the outcome is: “an easy-to-use solution that answers the measurement analysis requirements of manufacturers worldwide”.
