Cost effective solution for digital modelling
Geomagic, a software and services firm, recently announced that it has signed an exclusive, joint world-wide agreement with Z Corporation. As part of the deal, Geomagic will provide Geomagic Studio software in a comprehensive bundle with the new Z Corporation ZScanner 700.
The ZScanner 700 is said to be the first self-positioning 3D laser scanner. The lightweight, handheld device is ready to use in minutes and free of traditional mechanical arms, making it ideal for scanning hard-to-reach places. It claims real-time surfacing, captures 3D data in one continuous process to reduce post-processing, and uniquely allows objects to be moved during scanning. Geomagic is a major company providing software for effectively and automatically processing 3D scan data for applications that range from reverse engineering to inspection and analysis.
Geomagic Studio creates accurate models from any physical part, which is said to make it ideal for emerging applications like the mass production of customized devices, build-to-order manufacturing, and digital asset archiving for automatic recreation of legacy parts. Geomagic qualify offers a certified way to compare as-built versus as-designed with automatic reporting to make inspection analysis simple, fast and cost effective.
