Unleash the power of your imagination with touch-enabled 3D modelling solutions: Freeform® Plus, Freeform® and Geomagic® Sculpt™. Now you can sculpt and manipulate 3D clay to create sculptural models with the benefits of a digital workflow. 3D modelling systems provide an unparalleled and faster modelling environment and true creative freedom. With 3D design software, you can:

model complex organic shapes faster than with traditional CAD tools
easily create multiple design variations
rapidly clean up, modify and stylize scan data

Two of Freeform line’s unique aspects clearly differentiate it from other 3D modelling programs: the Voxel technology and the integration with the Touch™ and Touch X™ haptic devices to add the sense of touch to your digital world. This combination provides a unique capability to emulate the physical process of sculpting clay.

Freeform®

Freeform® is the industry most comprehensive, organic, hybrid design software on the market.

You will be able to solve complex, precision design and manufacturing challenges and easily address challenging tasks within existing scan-to-print or CAD-to manufacturing workflows.

Why Freeform?

Create sculpted shapes, especially products that precisely fit the human body
Add aesthetic and functional details that are difficult or impossible in CAD
Ensure designs are ready for additive, subtractive, or formative manufacturing
Transition from handcrafting to digital design with an intuitive haptic interface

3D touch-enabled technology

Geomagic®, now part of 3D Systems Corporation, is a leading provider of software and devices which empower you to design and manufacture in new ways, freeing you to innovate and create like never before.

Scanning and design software solutions, such as Freeform®, are used to capture and model 3D content from physical objects, organically sculpt complex shapes, and prepare products for manufacturing.

Haptic devices as Geomagic Touch® (formerly Sensable®Phantom® Desktop) simulate the sense of touch in a digital environment. Haptic technology is even used in applications ranging from surgical simulation to virtual reality as well as a range of research and robotic applications.

Geomagic offering includes reverse engineering and inspection software, which allow you to build surfaces and CAD models starting from cloud points collected by using laser 3D scanners or probing measurement tools.

Geomagic’s software and devices are used by world-class customers in a wide variety of industries and areas of applicability.
