RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., October 24, 2006- Geomagic® (www.geomagic.com), a worldwide software and services company, announces the launch of the Geomagic Knowledge Base. The Geomagic Knowledge Base, in beta, is a first-of-its-kind customer resource for knowledge sharing on Geomagic software and its application in digital shape sampling and processing (DSSP).
The new Geomagic Knowledge Base, an extension of the company’s website support section, is designed as a 24/7 interactive forum that will enable up-to-the-minute, information exchange on best-practice use of Geomagic software.
