Geomagic Control X
Geomagic Control X - The Metrology Powerhouse
Don't let your inspection room become a production bottleneck! Geomagic Control X brings the power of professional metrology to the shop floor, offering automated, easy-to-read 3D inspection reports and deviation analysis that allow you to identify errors, reduce scrap, and ensure part consistency with 7x the speed of traditional methods.
The Gold Standard in 3D Metrology & Inspection
Geomagic Control X is a professional metrology software that allows you to capture and process data from 3D scanners and other portable devices to measure, understand, and communicate inspection results. It ensures quality everywhere by providing simple, powerful tools that enable better decision-making and improved efficiency across the entire manufacturing workflow.
Whether you are performing first-article inspection, production inspection, or supplier quality management, Control X combines the power of high-end analysis with the flexibility of a user-friendly interface.
Features
Device Integration
Drive your 3D scanner or PCMM directly inside Control X, or work with raw scan data from any device.
2D to 3D Comparison
Validate part integrity by performing a side-by-side comparison of scan data and CAD designs
Automation
Accelerate your inspection cycle by using Visual Scripting and Automation Server to streamline high-volume workflows
Deviation Location
Scan, analyse, and report surface defects and variations.
Annotations & Dimensioning
Leverage intelligent CAD-aware dimensioning, full PMI integration, and precise GD&T callouts with fully customizable annotations.
Custom Reporting
Quickly transform complex multi-scan data into clear, comprehensive inspection reports.
Highlights & Capabilities
- Device Agnostic: Seamlessly connects to any 3D scanner or portable CMM (PCMM) device, giving you the freedom to choose the hardware that fits your shop floor.
- Rapid Automation: Use a “scan-to-report” workflow that allows you to automate repetitive inspection tasks without needing a degree in computer science.
- Visual Scripting: An intuitive environment to create custom automation workflows for complex measurement routines.
2D and 3D Comparison: Instantly compare 3D scan data to CAD models or other scans using deviation color maps to identify surface errors.
Advanced GD&T: Full support for Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) to ensure parts meet strict design specifications (ASME Y14.5).
Deviation Location: Automatically identify and analyze specific surface defects, wear, or damage on manufactured parts.
Custom Reporting: Generate professional, easy-to-read PDF or XML reports that can be understood by managers, customers, and buyers alike.
Automation Server: A dedicated engine that processes incoming scan data and generates reports in the background, allowing for high-throughput production.
Benefits
Reduced Quality Bottlenecks: Move inspection from the clean room to the shop floor, speeding up the feedback loop.
Simplicity of Use: A UI designed for everyone—from the expert metrologist to the shop floor operator.
Data-Driven Decisions: Transition from “pass/fail” results to rich, 3D data that explains why a part is failing.
Industry Applications for Geomagic Control X?
AUTOMOTIVE & TRANSPORTATION
The automotive world relies on high-volume production where even a 0.5mm deviation can cause assembly line shutdowns.
- Applications’ examples: Checking sheet metal stampings, engine blocks, interior trim fitment, and mold wear for tires.
- Benefit: The Automation Server allows manufacturers to scan and inspect parts coming off the line in near real-time, preventing “bottlenecks” in mass production.
AEROSPACE & DEFENSE
In an industry with zero margin for error, Control X is used to ensure flight safety and turbine efficiency.
- Applications: Inspection of turbine blades, airframe components, and engine housings.
- Benefit: GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) support ensures parts meet the incredibly strict regulatory requirements of the FAA and EASA.
MEDICAL DEVICES & HEALTHCARE
Medical implants must be perfectly tailored to human anatomy, often requiring organic shape inspection that traditional tools can’t handle.
-
Applications: Quality control for orthopedic implants (hips, knees), dental bridges, and specialized surgical instruments.
-
Benefit: Validates that complex, organic surfaces match the patient-specific CAD data exactly, ensuring better patient outcomes.
