MultiVox View

Improve precision and reduce design iterations by verifying internal geometry with the new MultiVox View that controls model transparency per layer, and provides cross-sectional analysis. Before sending models for 3D Printing, designers can check internal clearances and take simple measurements to ensure assembly fit.

DICOM Import

Simplify workflows by importing volumetric data from image stacks directly inside of Freeform Plus and convert the data into voxels and polygons. With the new MultiVox function, data from both medical and industrial CT machines can now be imported, processed, and used for designs all inside a single application.

Dynabots

Dynabots are interactive assistants that anyone can build in Geomagic Freeform Plus. They are a powerful, flexible automation system that works with clicks, not code – so you don’t have to be a developer to create your own Dynabots. Record, edit, and share Dynabots in minutes – from simple recorded macros to sophisticated mini-apps with custom interfaces that can automate almost any workflow in Geomagic Freeform Plus

Measurement, Analysis, and Customization Tools

• Measure mass properties such as surface areas, volumes, and piece density.
• Analyze piece-to-piece fit, intersections, thickness, draft, no-fail shelling, and 3D printability.
• Display the model in different resolutions to increase processing speed and opt for scalable secondary views.
• Toggle new displays for undercuts, hide/show curves, and fit to view.
• Customize the user interface with color schemes and favorite palettes.

2D Slicing Analysis Tool

Improve accuracy in complex designs. A dynamically interactive cross-section inspection tool provides multiple methods and modes to extract slice-based image stacks or profile curves. Use these functions to identify voids, avoid collisions, validate clearance specifications, or reverse engineer the shape of a volume.

Advanced Documentation Tools

• Streamline your customer communication.
• Easily create images for downstream documentation with one click.
• Generate a single image or image sets based on orthographic or turntable views.
• Use options that eliminate downstream editing time such as cropping, centering, object filtering, and background transparency (PNG).

Promoting Legacy Common Solids to Solid Pieces

Promote legacy common solids to solid pieces in Geomagic Freeform Plus. Promoting a legacy common solid to a solid piece enables more precise positioning control, per-piece attribute assignment, higher status in the object list, and access to a broader set of palette tools.

Clay Construction Tools

• Make smooth surfaces and razor-sharp edges with SubD.
• Model precisely-defined CAD shapes with NURBS and solids or deform and emboss shapes with clay.
• Create and apply intricate, dimensionally-controlled textures.
• Use tool sets for voxel, polygonal mesh, SubD, and NURBS modeling.

Clay Sculpting Tools

• Carve and shape your clay with a wide range of tools in your virtual space including razors, knife cutters, scrapers, and more.
• Use a variety of tools to smooth, smudge, and shape designs.
• Bring your design ideas to live with detailing tools to tug, ridge, emboss, and deform your clay without limitations.
• Use a full range of selection and move features to reposition, align, and separate your designs.

3D Curve, Plane, and Sketch Tools

• Easily draw, repair, and edit curves, project from a sketch to a plane, and intersect sketches and offset curves.
• Pattern/emboss a bitmap along curves.
• Create, edit, and sketch on a plane, orient the plane, and copy profiles.
• Fully create and edit sketches in Geomagic Freeform with pencil, freehand, control point curves, and basic 2D forms like lines, arcs, and circles.
• Import 2D digital art files with 2D sketches.

Mesh and Paint Tools

• Import mesh models, convert to clay, and then edit the data using a range of tools to stitch, deform, and tug to desired shapes.
• Paint the data with airbrush tools and wrap images on a model.
• Import and export 2D and 3D industry-standard formats including OBJ, STL, PLY, ZPR, IGES curves, Parasolid, JPG, and more. VRML and Geomagic Freeform are included as export-only formats.
