Heading to SOLIDWORKS World 2018? Visitors to 3D Systems’ display at booth #728 can experience how 3D Systems’ engineering software solutions, encompassing 3D scan-to-CAD, design for additive manufacturing (DFAM), 3D inspection and advanced machining software, are providing SOLIDWORKS users with greater design versatility and productivity.

Need the best in reverse engineering? We have that.

Geomagic® Design X is the industry’s gold-standard in reverse engineering software. When you need accurate CAD data from 3D scans, Geomagic Design X provides a complete range of advanced toolsets including: industry-leading scan alignment, repair and processing tools, smart surfacing, and a feature-based solid modeling system. Enhance your process with the fast and easy LiveTransfer™ tools to take your new CAD data directly into feature-based assemblies in SOLIDWORKS.

Geomagic for Solidworks: 3D scan and point clouds directly into Solidworks to make rapid solid models

Alternatively, Geomagic® for SOLIDWORKS® delivers a light and nimble reverse engineering toolset for rapid scan data processing and modeling directly inside the SOLIDWORKS UI -- bringing increased engineering productivity to SOLIDWORKS for your scanned parts.

Design for additive is a critical part of the game

3D Systems’ 3DXpert™ and 3D Sprint™ DFAM software products support advanced metal and plastic 3D printing, respectively. Developed to help take the guesswork out of design for additive, these products streamline and optimize support structure creation and analysis, ensure intelligent part alignment, and optimize 3D print build times by automatically placing parts in a build space.

3DXpert delivers critical design tools for metal additive including latticework, ‘zoning’, automated alignment and optimized support structures to enable metal additive to be streamlined and error-free.

But I’m still machining my products…

We recognize that 3D printing remains just one tool in the entire manufacturing workflow.  Our development teams continue to strengthen the features of the GibbsCAM® CAM software platform tuned to SOLIDWORKS users.  GibbsCAM delivers advanced CNC and machining toolsets supporting 2- through 5-axis milling, high-speed machining, 2-axis turning, mill/turn, Multi-Task Machining (multiple turrets/spindles), Swiss, tombstone machining and wire-EDM using files direct from your SOLIDWORKS UI.

Easier product QA

Geomagic® Control X™ 3D metrology software enables you to transform the inspection processes of your manufactured part. Targeting ease-of-use, rapid scanning, and very rapid results, Geomagic Control X can immediately spot problems with out-of-tolerance parts in both ‘walk-up’ and inline inspection. Compatible with all major non-contact 3D scanners and portable CMMs, Geomagic Control X enables you to make the right choices immediately for your manufactured part.

In addition to the 3D Systems software and 3D printers showcased at SOLIDWORKS World 2018, attendees can also get technical training on 3D Systems products during two expert led sessions:

  • Designing for Metal Additive Manufacturing with SOLIDWORKS
